Rosalie Griffin
Queen Rosalie Garnessa Griffinweld (a.k.a. Silver Sovereign)
Queen Rosalie Griffinweld stands as the arcane sovereign of Griffinweld, the Eastern Capital of Astrium, and the direct descendant of the city's founder, Archmage Garnet Griffinweld. A formidable mage in her own right, Rosalie embodies the ideals of arcane supremacy, defending Griffinweld’s magical traditions against the rise of planar technology and industrialization.
