Lady Eressae

The Queen of the Ely, Lady Eressae is the highest authority amongst her people and as such currently rules over most of Aira. Her name is frequently cited by her soldiers, but no member of Aira's native races has ever come face-to-face with her as she rules mainly through her trio of generals, The Three. Despite this, she is the one female Ely upon whose existence most scholars agree. The existence of any others is a matter of some debate.

Lady Eressae is thought to be at least two centuries old, as her name appears in some of the oldest records of the Ely's presence in Maia, suggesting that she led their armies even then. She rules now from The First City, although she is thought to visit newer Hive cities on occasion.
