The Empress of Yokuda

The Empress of Yokuda was the ruler of Yokuda from 1E 376 until it's destruction in 1E 792.

Background
The leader of the Hiradirge, a group of Ansei, the Empress rebelled against the tyranny of the Emperor of Yokuda. Her rebellion proved successful, as the Emperor sued for peace. In the agreement, the Emperor agreed to secede much control over to the individual kings and swordmasters. In exchange, however, the Empress was forced to marry him, to ensure peace. Eventually, however, the Emperor died, with rumors stating that it had been at the Empress' own hand. The Empress made a deal with Leki, the goddess of the Spirt-Sword. She wanted to make it so all Redguard could channel the Spirit-Sword, if they practiced enough, not just those the Ansei trained. Leki was so impressed with the Empress that the goddess adopted her as daughter. The Empress was also granted immortality by Ruptga on a request from Leki. From then on, it the power structure went as so: warlords of varying power, the lower Emperor, and then then the immortal Empress ruling above them all, keeping the peace. Eventually, the Adversary in the form of Satakal attacked Yokuda and destroyed it. The Empress' fate was unknown, although she likely perished with the continent.
