Gweneth I Endros

Gweneth I Endros, also known as the Gold Knight, was the first queen of Endrosen. She would inherit the golden town of Crossroads and use her newfound power to establish a kingdom. She declared war on her neighboring city-states in Endros' Conquest and carved herself a kingdom by employing the aid of sellswords and mercenary bands.

Appearance and Character
Gweneth was a small woman in height, with bright blue eyes and golden blonde hair that she kept braided. She would wear golden armor that shined brightly in the sun and stuck out from the rest of her men. This made her easily identifiable to both her men and her enemies and was hence dubbed the Gold Knight. She wore a simple gold brim crown and wielded a small golden warhammer.

Gweneth was little more than a capable fighter, but what she lacked in stature and fighting capabilities she well made up for it with her presence alone. She was known to be able to rally her men by just her authoritative voice and front of the line leadership. Rarely could she be found living among the courts and left most civil duties to her council.

Early Life
Gweneth was born in Crossroads in 299 GI to unknown parents who ruled over Crossroads. She has no known siblings to speak of either. She would inherit the position of countess after the death of her parents and would subsequently inherit the wealth and fortune that Crossroads has amassed. He would marry Claudio Bran early in her life.

Endros' Conquest
With the wealth of her prominent trading town, Gweneth would ignite a conquest of her neighboring independent settlements with the aid of sellswords and mercenary bands. She would personally lead her army through the entirety of the campaign. The surrounding city-states stood no chance against Gweneth's army and all of them quickly fell to her hired bands. After seven years of campaigning, she would establish the Kingdom of Endrosen.

Gweneth's conquest even led to her husband's hometown of Branfeld. After declaring war against Branfeld, she imprisoned Claudio and later executed him, and flung his decapitated head over the walls of the town to show his family. She soon after would marry a commander of one of her hired mercenary bands, Marc Heath, after falling in love with him on the battlefield.

Reign
Once Gweneth settled into her kingdom, she began to attempt to have heirs for her kingdom with little effect. For over a decade of trying, she would have many stillborn children which lead many people to believe she was infertile or cursed from her actions in the war. Even her council began preparing for an election for the inheritance of the throne when the queen passed. However, she would finally manage to produce one child but at the cost of her life.

Death
Gweneth would die from complications in childbirth much to the horror of her husband. In her death, she gave birth to Gryff I Endros who was raised by his father as a regent until he became of age.
