The elder generations

Duchess Isadora Mossquill

The Unimpressed Mother

“That is a very nice crown. Have you eaten?”

Isadora married Aurelius Junior and raised the future Sun-Crowned Sovereign with a magnificent refusal to be impressed. When the Seven Ponds finally united, she asked whether the new borders would make the journey to market shorter. She survived her husband and watched their son turn grief into responsibility, then responsibility into several expensive ceremonies. Her letters remain the only royal documents in which Aurelius III is regularly told to sit down.

Her purple robes began as practical winter clothing. The court copied the embroidery and ignored the pockets.
