Elena Starphire - A strong-willed woman and Regina of the Driran Kingdom; she is the highest tribunal of the land (1372-, rule: 1408-). As a young girl, she never attempted to grasp her family's skill with business but instead lovingly embraced nature and lore. At the age of 16, seeing that his youngest wanted no part in trade, her father sent her to the family's ancestral home in the Green Reaches for proper schooling with her elven cousins. Finishing her education in the ways of the woods, she went to the Monastery of Dreams to study the history of the world and of the land just before Bloodstone's invasion. There she stayed with the monks when civilization was being torn apart. Elena was fortunate to enter the monastery at that time for it guaranteed her some safety and freedom to move about the land during the occupation as the monks were never seen as a threat by the occupying force. After the retaking of the land, she contacted her family when she heard of their return. However, she didn't return home until after concluding her studies and her traveling'where she saw the horror that fell on the Dragonsong Dominion. She has her secrets and hides them well. Rumors from the upper levels of the royal keep say that she keeps in contact with the dominus and both of them, before the division, had been known to get along very well with each other.

She wed at the age of 30 to Aper (royal consort), son of a wealthy noble family, and with him she has three children, Athea (heir, 1403-), Ida (1409-) and Castor (1411-).
