QueenEllisiaOfPerondorQueen Ellisia of PerondorPortrayed by Ann-Margret Cole's mother has never identified his father. Uncharitable rumors suggest that it's because there were too many candidates for identification to be certain. As a young queen Ellisia was wild and unsupervised, perhaps in rebellion under the sudden pressure of rulership, as well as in grief over her parents' unexpected death. By all accounts she is now a very stable ruler. Her marriage to Duke Harris?--her strongest potential rival within the Perondor nobility--was obviously one of political expediency, but it quashed any suggestion of removing her from the throne. The royal couple gives every indication of being content with each other, if not actually joyful. Both of them seem very dedicated to the heir apparent, young prince Deric?. Cole did ask once who his father was, and Ellisia replied, "Cole, you are who you are. It doesn't matter who he was." |
