Princess Dalia Skyfire

Princess Dalia Tasoula Skyfire (a.k.a. Catalizador)

Some say that she had the makings of an Empress.

— Alicia Raven, Historian

Overview

Known to be something of a firebrand from an early age, it is perhaps no surprise that she went on to become the most accomplished royal figure in the history of the Principality of Avistar. Where other royal figures of the Avistarian realms preferred to enjoy the pleasant climate and wines of their realms, Dalia was one of the few who intended to strengthen the principality's position it the world. She earned herself a place in the legends of Awldor by successfully avoiding another devastating war between the realms.

Catalizador

Princess Dalia Skyfire is known for unifying the northern and southern states of Avistar. This feat is often attributed as the reason for her nickname: "Catalizador." However, it is not the only reason. She also kickstarted an economic boom for her state with the discovery of Dehur Kjol, an ancient Dwarven mine that is still capable of producing resources for any who will brave its dark and crumbling tunnels. It also provided a way for people and resources to move between the twin realms which were divided geographically by the Silver Mountains. Dalia's policies concerning the equitable distribution of the resources from the mines did much to encourage the unification of the realms.

The Stained Blade

When the princess discovered the Dehur Kjol, she made a point by leading the first expedition through it. It is said that this expedition encountered many dangers through the long abandoned mines: goblin raiders, cave trolls, mimics, and a giant spider nest. It was here that she proved her mettle as a warrior, and she never passed an opportunity to show her blood-stained sword as a gesture of her sincere intent in all her endeavors. Especially as it related to the unification and strengthening of Avistar in the face of the other growing powers of the continent.

Note(s) from the Archivists:

Why wasn't she able to secure a Navy? Centrum was still part of the Principality so securing it would've been in their best interests. - Archivist Theta

Many political figures in the Avistarian Courts thought that Centrum could merely buy a navy when the need arises. They weren't wrong about that, but they didn't appreciate Centrum's budding desire for independence, which Dalia had noticed.
The other reason for the failure to establish a navy was that the army didn't want their share of the royal coffers to be diminished. - Archivist Taenya Naïlo
