How Does Hrothgar Influence The Court

She was a woman grown, seven-and-ten, and wreathed in a cloth-of-silver gown she appeared truly the Lady of the Mists. In her presence Hunt felt ashamed of his status; he was but five-and-ten, though as he was so fond of reminding her, he would be a true man in less than a month. He had made squire two years past, nigh unheard of, chosen by the castle’s castellan, the old veteran Seer Lars Reddan. He had the makings of a chevalier, the great magi of the Lyceum told him, and already he could feel the mana tingling hungrily in his fingertips.

She can be impervious to the people of Illea, but an amicable girl to close friends and family, because of the ways Eadlyn presents herself to different people, she does not know who she is on the inside. On the outside, she is fighting to be someone who is untouchable, someone who has everything put together, trying to be perfect. For Eadlyn, perfect is the end goal, but as the story continues, she finds that perfect is unattainable, and she needs to be herself. Eadlyn is set to be the next Queen, but because this is her only option it is hard for her to decipher who she really is and what she really wants. She has always known that this is what she is to become, where everyone else has the privilege to become who they are, Eadlyn does not.

So far, she’s alone, her husband made be dead, her son is not old enough to rule. To top it off, there are suitors that heard that the king has died at war, now there is a free spot on the throne of Ithaca. Since she is a woman and not the king, she only owns at least thirty-five to forty percent of the kingdom because women were not considered full citizens. But the only thing holding the suitors at bay is she has to decide marry someone. After all, the suitors cannot take the kingdom forcefully, if they were to do that. They would be killed and/or kicked out of Ithaca. Furthermore, the queen cannot do anything. Literally, she cannot do anything. She wants to go outside, then she has to put on heavy, and opaque clothing on and make sure not to reveal anything to anyone outside the

Esther was an orphan who was raised by her cousin Mordecai (Leath, 2010). There came a time that she would go from orphan to queen. Esther lived in Persia, where King Ahasuerus ruled. A day arrived that Queen Vashti refused to obey King Ahasuerus and was soon replaced by Esther (Leath, 2010).
