Queen Nefara

Scholar‑queen who balances royal gravitas with an insatiable curiosity for celestial lore. Nefara spends her days presiding over council debates, then vanishes into the palace observatory to chart star movements and decode ancient constellations. She commissions mural artists, collects rare lapis artifacts, and hosts twilight salons where philosophers trade theories over honey‑pomegranate wine. Beneath her calm authority lies a playful strategist—she thrills at cryptic riddles, water‑garden chess matches, and midnight falcon flights across the desert sky. Fiercely protective of her people, she wields diplomacy like a jewelled blade, rewarding loyalty with lavish patronage and betrayal with measured, icy silence.
