Queen Filfaeril Selazair Obarskyr

Role: Queen of Cormyr, wife of Azoun IV, and later Dowager Queen.

Description: Filfaeril was renowned for her delicate beauty, keen foresight, and resolute bravery. She was a brilliant strategist, often compared to Vangerdahast in her ability to navigate court intrigue. After Azoun IV’s death, she played a key role in the Steel Regency alongside Alusair, ruling until Azoun V came of age.

Influence: Filfaeril was a stabilizing force in Azoun IV’s court, offering wise counsel and maintaining the Obarskyr legacy. Her personal guard of six Knights Royal—Jostlyn Huntsilver, Asbras Orthwood, Baeryn Dauntinghorn, Albryn Emmarask, Ondyn Thundersword, and Ilbreth Truesilver—ensured her safety and influence. Her portrayal as a flawless figure might oversimplify her role, potentially ignoring any personal ambitions or conflicts with other court members, such as Vangerdahast’s more authoritarian tendencies.
