At a Glance

WYSK

Average height, slender. Asian heritage. Well-presented and well-dressed.

Oldest child of Greenfields Hold, Ienavi went through several engagements before throwing over Rone, grandson of Lord Ustelan of Nabol, for Ustelan himself. She became Lady Nabol while still in her late teens; Ustelan was more than fifty turns her senior. Still, there was never any evidence of adultery on her part during their more-than-ten-turn marriage.

Shortly before Ustelan died, in Turn 32, she fled the hold - allegedly pregnant and in fear for her life. She reappeared at Healer Hall several months later, after the Lord's death, where she gave birth to her son, Eustan, who she claimed to be Ustelan's acknowledged heir.

Entourage

• Euan - Her youngest half-brother from out of wedlock. She dotes on him and considers him her closest confidante after Greenfield's heir. He was made her personal steward shortly after her marriage to Ustelan.

History

Born at Greenfield at the very end of the Pass, Ienavi is the oldest daughter and third oldest child of Lord and Lady Greenfield. Her father, Graeson, is the second cousin, once removed of Lady Edeline of Tillek, while her mother, Linuore is of Greenfield's main line.

The young couple had such hopes for their first daughter, both father and mother recognizing that while a male would be an heir, daughters made far more useful pawns in the redistribution of power in Nabol's territories. So already precocious Ienavi was groomed from the start for greatness.

Unlike many young girls of her birth and rank, her parents declined birth invitations for betrothals, until she turned seven, whereupon Greensfield and Tillek were to be joined in the marriage of Ienavi and the Lord's adopted step-son, Nederan. Unfortunately, like many matches made so early, this was not to be when, at Ienavi's tender age of twelve, Nederan found a better mate in Drilnity, Lord Nabol's cousin. What was once a long list of suitors had since dwindled, as anyone who was worth anything had already been promised.

So, for the next turn, Ienavi was fostered to High Reaches Hold under the care of Lord Rynien and Lady Shaie, then entered Ista's secondary Harper Hall to cultivate her harp skills and finish off the loose ends of her education. It was shortly after her fifteenth birthday that she returned to Greenfield to reclaim her place as first born amongst a bevy of girls and chum up with her favorite sibling -- the second oldest of Greenfield's children, her beloved brother and heir. The first born son is not talked of.

In her absence, her ever-ambitious parents had brokered the perfect match for their perfect daughter, and the next half turn was spent preparing for such an auspicious match between Rone, Lord Nabol's grandson and Ienavi, of Tillekian and Greenfield blood.

Or, that's how it was supposed to be. The best laid plans can, sometimes, get better, and shortly after arriving at Nabol to further prepare for her marriage as lady Kisare's lady in waiting and shadow, a healthy Lady Frieja suddenly passed away and in between the hubbub, Ienavi caught the old man's eye.

Sure he's old.

Sure it's kind of skivvy.

But now she outranks everyone, including her once betrotheds.

Despite the disparity between their ages, there was never any actual indication that Ienavi cheated on her husband during the more-than-ten-turns of their marriage; there was gossip, of course, but it was all suggestion, never based in anything concrete. She presented herself as the ideal wife: doting, politically astute, and entirely above suspicion. It was widely assumed that her failure to become pregnant was simply because Ustelan was too old and feeble to do the job, and with so many heirs, it hardly seemed a concern.

As Ustelan grew older, she stepped up further, often taking meetings that he ought to - or simply being present to support him.

In Turn 32, Ustelan's health went into a decline. In month six, her husband having slipped into a coma, Ienavi begged Aishani of High Reaches to help her: she was pregnant, had proof that Ustelan intended to name her child his heir, and feared for her life. Only a sevenday or so after her disappearance, Ustelan's death was announced, even as rumors of her flight, her accusations, and the existence of her child (and his or her supposed inheritance) began to spread.

She resurfaced several months later, at Healer Hall, by which time Rone - once her fiance, now her opponent - had already attempted to claim the Hold. She gave birth to her son, Eustan, on Day 19, Month 9.

In Month 6, Turn 33, an announcement was made regarding an engagement between Ienavi and Lord Aughan of Crom. It's likely that this is part of the reason her claim to Nabol, on behalf of her son, was unsuccessful; Lady Tevrane was selected instead. This doesn't seem to have bothered Ienavi too much, however: she married Aughan in Month 10, and seems to be perfectly happy being someone's Lady Holder again.

As of early Turn 35, she has given birth to a daughter, Haille.
