For some suspicious reason all of the other councillors agreed, and she began to take extreme liberties; she built herself the largest Citadel in the country in the Elven capital of Haistad, and enforced strict punishment on anyone that would not bow to Veodar and relinquish the gods. As punishment for this, Akmenos and Jarvan drove her to madness, resulting in her burning herself alive atop the Citadel. As a result of all this, she gained the nickname "The Mad Queen".
