Ageing monarch, beset by countless rumours of attempts upon her throne.
When Sofia came to power after Alfred’s death, she purged many of the old King’s advisers, in a bold move that surprised all.
Increasingly paranoid, Queen Sofia becomes ever-more ruthless in an attempt to retain her weakening grip upon the realm.
With her health failing, her son’s position as heir to the throne looks precarious amongst the scheming Lords of the Great Houses.
Towards the end of her reign she relinquishes the task of ruling Heldrassë to her advisers, who scheme against each other to increase their status as the real power behind the throne.
She has ruled in an uneasy peace for over ten years, but that peace now seems ever more precarious.
In the brief moment before she bowed her head, Maia was shocked at what she saw. The queen, far from being a proud and royal figure seemed ancient and hunched over, leaning a pale, gnarled hand upon a retainer for support as she shuffled slowly to the throne.
Maia waited expectantly, staring at the floor, still in mid-curtsey. As the moment dragged on, her legs began to wobble with the strain, and she started to fear that she would soon fall over. She could hear the echoing footsteps of the queen’s shuffling progress, and to the young girl’s great relief, she must have reached the throne, for the lords and ladies straightened themselves up at some unseen signal, and Maia gratefully copied.
