Merezyn of Sassyar

Merezyn of Sassyar (22 BU—30 AU) was a Sassyari princess, the daughter of Mero XII, and the queen consort of Somnar I of Valkanren. She was a hardened warrior-queen as well as a trained diplomat; she was widely regarded as intelligent, silver-tongued, strong, and independent. With Somnar she bore three children: Brenmar I, Celessina, and Alben I.

Somnar's Conquest
When Somnar came to Lyzentos to enlist the support of Mero XII against Edgar II of Brythonia, Mero offered Somnar the hand in marriage of his heiress, Merezyn, believing Somnar to be the prophet Alexander reborn to shine Hynethe's light across Valkanren. Somnar obliged, married Merezyn in the Temple of Lyzentos and then marched east. Merezyn was known to fight alongside Somnar in battles, and earned the nicknames Merezyn the Warrior-Queen and Merezyn the Golden Queen for her prowess with swords.

As Somnar's consort, she was fair and even, and inspired her son Brenmar's passion for a justice system.
