Shalendra Luren

"The stories are spoken in hush words for a reason child, because they speak of one among us that has reached the pinnacle of the gods themselves. One among us, that has tasted what it means to be basked in the embrace of the stars. It is a name you do not use in conversation lightly, only solemnly remembered."

- Faranis Dawnflight, memorizing the Empress to several children.

Shalendra Luren, known ceremonially as Ahshala of Solarium and commonly referred too as Shalendra of the Light, The Elder Queen, and Firstborn was the ruler of the Solarian Empire from the time of its foundation on Aiscoria to the climatic battle at the end of the The Ebony War. She began her story as one of the first elves birthed into creation by the Light, defiant until it was banished by the Creators from Aiscoria. But the Light had done its work, bestowing its various gifts upon the Sun Elves. Out of all the Firstborn, Shenarah received the most embracement with the higher powers that lead her to become the acknowledge leader of the Solarians whom would carve out their civilization across the surface of Aiscoria unchallenged and bolstered by their attainment to the Light.

When the Chaos Lord, Azzaha launched his attack and began the The Ebony War, Scyeria was quick to respond by assembling the most powerful of its warriors into the Golden Army lead by the Empress and went into battle with the Chaos Armies. Shalendra around this time crafted Nirvana, which was an extension of her own formidable power and went on to defeating the Hordes of Chaos only to disappear after The Ebony War along with most of her surviving warriors.

To this day, it is not known what has become of the High Queen but only that she is remembered as the finest warrior every produced by Solaria and of the Light.
