Firnara

Firnara was a descendant of Alarik and the de facto founder of the Firnara Dynasty. It was under Firnara that the city of Chiandris rose as a true power on Andromache, eliminating and assimilating many of the tribes as vassals of the city. She cemented her family's position by marrying the youngest prince of Hektor, the dominant power in the region. Though nominally the head of a tribal coalition, Firnara exercised the power of a queen, levying taxes and controlling the majority of the iethallan mines.

During the course of her reign, Firnara effectively quelled several tribal rebellions and eliminating all but a few rival chieftains. With her patronage, the disorganized beginnings of Andromache's engineering emerged with improved mining techniques which greatly enriched the budding city-state. To better show her rising power, Firnara began a massive building project, putting iethallan facades on many of Chiandris' buildings and beginning the building of the first road system in Chiandris.

Fearing the destruction of their ancient way of life, many of the tribal chieftains conspired to murder Firnara. Their plot was successful in its immediate goal, Firnara was assassinated; but her son Adalhardt swiftly put down the traitors and assumed the throne as King Adalhardt I, first of the Firnara Dynasty.
