Queen Mesol

Queen Mesol of Cantisum is the first Queen of Themne. 217 years ago, she received a vision from Amhran, the God of Song, that pushed her to unite all of Themne. After many years of politics, siege, and struggle, she succeeded, created the Conchord, and was crowned the first Queen of Themne.

Personal History

Queen Mesol was 19 years old when she received her vision and her quest. She was young and had only been on the throne for a year, but there was an ambition that burned deeply within her. She saw Arta, standing 2000 years strong. She saw Themne, a loose league of city-states with thick borders of unclaimed land between them. They would band together to protect one another from outsiders, but there was no love between these city-states. And all that land, wasn't that just going to waste?

Cantisum stood, tall and proud, a pinnacle of beauty and culture, but what was it compared to Arta? How easily could it be destroyed, if someone set their mind to it? How easily could Amhran be forgotten? When Amhran warned her of a great evil coming, of the destruction of Themne, Mesol could see it happen so easily. But she couldn't let it happen.

She was 32 when she was crowned Queen of Themne. She had spent 13 long years unifying Themne, 13 years of leading her army wherever it needed it to go. She had spent very little time in Cantisum itself, but finally she settled there again to begin maintaining the new Confederation. At 33, she had her only daughter, Queen Lyra Oros, who would continue her work as the second Queen of Themne.
