![[AydraSummergalePathfinder-v2.webp]] # Queen Aydra Summergale _Eladrin Sorcerer | Queen of [[Gauntlgrym]] | [[Gauntlgrym]]_ ## Summary Queen of [[Gauntlgrym]] and [[McMickey]]'s wife. A powerful eladrin sorcerer, formerly an [[Everflowers|Everflower]] who served Queen [[Orchid]] of the [[Spring Court]]. She found romance with [[McMickey]] during the Battle of [[Silverbrook]], and her arcane prowess proved crucial in overcoming [[House Xorlarrin]]'s defenses during the liberation of [[Gauntlgrym]]. %% ## Now Governing [[Gauntlgrym]] alongside [[McMickey]], privately homesick for the [[Feywild]] but choosing him anew each day. ## Appearance Flowing red-gold hair that moves like an eternal warm breeze; flowers bloom in her footsteps when she is happy, and her voice is melodic with a lyrical Sylvan cadence. ## Personality Level-headed, diplomatic, homesick but devoted. She deliberately slows her speech when addressing the council to resonate with dwarven sensibilities, and slips away to hidden chambers where illusion magic recreates corners of the [[Feywild]]. She has earned grudging respect from traditionalists who first dismissed the "fey queen." ## Quote _"True strength lies not in immovability, but in the ability to sacrifice what you love for what you love more."_ ## Connections **[[McMickey]]** — husband; she chose him over her homeland. **[[Orchid]]** — former queen of the [[Spring Court]], whom she served as an [[Everflowers|Everflower]]. ## Background **The Meeting:** As a champion of Queen [[Orchid]]'s [[Everflowers]], Aydra fought 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 clash of steel gave way to a clash of hearts. She found romance with him at the Battle of [[Silverbrook]], the night before the city was defended against the [[Shadow Court]] army. **The Choice:** When [[McMickey]] was called to liberate [[Gauntlgrym]], she chose love over her homeland, bringing her fey allies to aid the dwarven coalition. ## Stats *Medium Fey (Eladrin), Neutral Good — Queen of Gauntlgrym, the [[Everflowers]].* **AC** 18 | **HP** 195 (17d8 + 119) | **Speed** 30 ft., fly 60 ft.

Her Feywild portal (1/day, open 1 minute) is a plot tool, not a combat power. %%
