![[AydraDec2025.png]] # Queen Aydra Summergale _Eladrin Sorcerer | Queen of [[Gauntlgrym]] | [[Feywild]] (former)_ ## Summary Queen of [[Gauntlgrym]] and [[McMickey]]'s wife. A powerful eladrin sorcerer formerly an [[Everflowers|Everflower]] who served Queen [[Orchid]] of the [[Spring Court]]. Found romance with [[McMickey]] during the Battle of [[Silverbrook]] the night before the forces of light defended the city against the [[Shadow Court]] army. Her arcane prowess proved crucial in overcoming [[House Xorlarrin]]'s magical defenses during the liberation of [[Gauntlgrym]]. %% ## At a Glance Flowing red-gold hair that moves like eternal warm breeze. Elegant robes. Flowers bloom in her footsteps when happy. Melodic and soothing voice with occasional bell-like laughter and lyrical Sylvan cadence—deliberately slows speech when addressing council to resonate with dwarven sensibilities. Balances her fey nature with the practical demands of governing a dwarven kingdom. Has earned grudging respect from traditionalist nobility who initially dismissed the "fey queen" as a passing fancy. Feels the constant weight of being "other" in a kingdom of stone and metal, but her steadfast love for [[McMickey]] drives her to persevere despite homesickness. Slips away to hidden chambers with illusion magic recreating corners of the [[Feywild]], allowing moments of vulnerability. ## Personality Level-headed, diplomatic, homesick but devoted. Privately mourns for the [[Feywild]] but chooses [[McMickey]] anew each dawn. ## Quote _"True strength lies not in immovability, but in the ability to sacrifice what you love for what you love more."_ ## Background As a champion of Queen [[Orchid]]'s [[Everflowers]], Aydra fought valiantly in the [[Feywild]]'s eternal struggles until a chaotic battle brought her face-to-face with [[McMickey]]—a lost dwarf barbarian who had stumbled through a portal. Their initial clash of steel quickly gave way to a clash of hearts. When [[McMickey]] was called to liberate [[Gauntlgrym]], she faced an impossible choice between her homeland and love. She chose love, bringing her fey allies to aid the dwarven coalition. ## Stats **CR 18 Eladrin Sorcerer** with legendary actions and seasonal magic. - **AC:** 18 | **HP:** 195 | **Speed:** 30 ft., fly 60 ft.
