Thalae Didii

"'Valesserian? A pretentious title for common criminals.' - Thalae Didii"The last Selticannian Queen, Thalae Didii was well-known for her rebellion against the Kongqûerian Empire before it took over the last lands of Selticannia.

Death
Thalae was finally captured by the Imperial Legions alive during an ambush in the Trethorsa Fields. Eragold I ordered a quick and honorable execution for her, as he respected her for having been a worthy enemy.

Burial
The last Selticannian Queen was buried in the manner of her forebears, in the barrow of Ungôlhyt. Although her people were hesitant to place her body in those crypts instead of the mountain-barrow they now called the "Remorse of Thalae Didii", they chose to honor tradition in the end.

Personality
Known for her strong will and violent temper, Thalae Didii was considered to be the "true daughter of Selticannia", as the previous leaders of Selticannia were rather meek and submitted easily to the invaders of Valesseria. When the people were beginning to lose hope that there would be no leader who would step up for them, Thalae Didii stepped in after her husband's death and showed the leaders of the Kongqûerian Empire that if they wanted Selticannian lands, they would have to fight bitterly for them.

Legacy
As the last ruler of the Selticans, Thalae Didii is remembered as a powerful ruler who could not stop the tide of endless assaults from the Kongqûerian Empire. She is often compared to the rulers of Delin, who are also known for their rebellious streak against the Empire. Because of her actions, she is analogous to a symbol of resistance and hope, to which secret supporters of the Selticannian Independent State use in their forms of communication.
