The accused marched out at a deliberate pace, her chin high, sea-grey eyes flashing, heading towards the circle carved in the center of the floor. Her platinum hair fell only to her shoulders; long enough for court, yet short enough to be held away from her face with simple plaits.[1]
Lady Rajael Fellarien, Protector of Marae Lassel.[1][2]
At the beginning of his reign, Emperor Caerlin I convicted Lady Rajael Fellarien of desecrating the island of Marae Lassel, a nature preserve and religious retreat. She maintained that she had been seeking a great evil that resides deep below the island. For her crime, her line was divested of its nobility and she was stripped of the title of Protector of Marae Lassel. A tower was constructed to imprison her in the frozen wastelands of the south, where her only companions were her Golem guards. She was accused by the Lady of Ithaenc, Lady Adja, who was also seeking the position of Protector of Marae. [1][3][4]
Lady Rajael Fellarien was a member of the council that imprisoned Ilservian Palacost in the crystal array[5][6]. For this, she was freed from her confinement in the southern wastes.[3] All members of the council died during the imprisonment of the Hopeslayer except Asheron.[3]
