Individual History
The only child of King Ismoda IV, Alliann was greatly loved by her father. Her mother, Annora, died giving birth to Alliann. Alliann was named after her grandmother, Dowager Queen Alliann II. As a child, her father sought to surround her with only beautiful things, but he could not prevent Alliann from learning of death and suffering. When she was three she found a dead bird in the garden and brought it to her father, thinking he would make it better. Ismoda explained to his daughter that even though he was king, there was nothing he could do but pray, for only god was so great. Alliann never forgot her father's words and devoted herself to religious studies and charity. She was extremely compassionate, volunteering to help the sick and the poor and using her position to effect change to the better. She impressed her father with her intelligence, grace, and humility.

As she developed into a young woman, she became known throughout the land for her radiant beauty. She had many suitors, but in her religious studies, she met a young scholar named Esonn Ma who was as ardently religious as she: a trait her suitors lacked. Try as she might, she could not help but to fall in love with Esonn, their friendship blossoming into love over many years. Ismoda could not bear to break his daughter's heart, and so he married his daughter to the peasant scholar.

Their relationship was one of total love and trust. Alliann and Esonn were of one mind when it came to the lives of their people and they worked hard tending to their subjects, always together side by side. Their bond was such that it was said one would cry when the other was sad, and that theirs was a union blessed by the gods.

A few years after their marriage, Ismoda passed away, making Alliann queen. As a peasant, Esonn was not granted the title of king. While both he and Alliann believed that all men were equal in the eyes of god, several hundred years of tradition said that only blood nobles could hold royal titles. Other kingdoms, alienated by the fact Alliann had not married one of their sons and thus had no powerful allies, attacked.

As a pacifist, Alliann was deeply saddened, but as queen she led her people with eloquence and courage. To lay down arms was holy, but to fulfill her duty to protect her people was divine. As much as she disliked the war, she had innocents to protect. Thankfully her faith and devotion were rewarded when Ilyroa successfully repelled the invaders.

Unfortunately, while their people all believe in the divine providence of their ruling couple, Alliann and Esonn have not been blessed with children. When they die, so will their line. As sad as it makes the couple to be without child, they see this as a chance to leave a new kind of legacy: a government ruled by the people. They are both still young and have many decades of hard work ahead of them to see this dream become a reality.

Though they have no children of their own, they fill the palace with children who have been orphaned, especially those who are victims of war.
