Larata IV, Queen of Adaria



Elara Santar, Palace Guard

Queen and Princesses who rule the Land of Warrior Girls

Adaria is an absolute monarchy and is ruled by the Queen. For more than two centuries all Adarian queens have belonged to Nallor family. The four closest Queen's female relatives have a title of Princess. When a queen dies, the eldest Princess becomes a queen.

Now Adaria is ruled by Larata IV Nallor. Four Princesses are Norisa, Milara, Sata and Dalira. The latter became a Princess only two years ago, when Dorgorian soldiers captured and killed Princess Norata in the Battle of Ardon.

The symbols of the Queen's power are the Diamond Crown of Adaria, the Golden Chain Belt and the Queen's Medallion. In spite of that she is a warrior girl, the Queen is usually unarmed - this must show all people and especially other countries' ambassadors that Adaria is a friendly state, unless it is attacked.

The Princesses are warrior girls too and are allowed to carry a dagger. They wear special Medallions which are symbols of their status.

The Queen's residence is Lassara Palace, which is situated inside the Lassara Fortress, the Capitol of Adaria. High and thick stone walls with massive towers guarded by cruel warrior girls make the fortress impregnable. The palace isn't luxurious at all. But it has many halls, audience chambers and rooms. The most famous of them is a Fireplace Hall. The climate in Adaria is very warm, even hot, so there is no need to build fireplaces. But fifty years ago Queen Dara II ordered to make a fireplace in the largest hall of the palace, because she liked to sit looking at fire. Now this fireplace is the only fireplace in Adaria.

The palace is guarded by the most fearless, noble and devoted warrior girls. The Palace Guard is divided into four squads, each of which includes twenty warrior girls. The palace is watched by these squads in turn. Warrior girls stand motionlessly in the corridors and near the entrances like beautiful statues, but each second they can attack an enemy with lightning speed.

Her Majesty Queen Larata IV is a very clever and farseeing ruler. She reformed the Army and made it even more effective and threatening for the enemies, provided some economical improvements, and won a war against Dorgor. People consider Princess Norata's capture by Dorgorians as Larata's serious blunder, but some say Norata was about to make a plot against the Queen, so who knows... May be Norata was captured not just because Dorgorians were so lucky. In any case, Queen Larata is a real leader, warrior girls and other people of Adaria love and support her.
