Ragonde Luneste Character in The Kingdom of Banteave | World Anvil

Ragonde Luneste

Baroness Ragonde Luneste- Dillestone

Biological parent of Roseline Luneste and bastard of House Dillestone. Hard-hearted, Confident and Strong. Ragonde sees the current political situation in Banteave for what it is; a banquet of opportunity. The bastard daughter of Eadvard II, she is King Eadvard III's half sister, but was not granted any form of legitimacy until Eadvard II needed to solidify his ties with House Luneste by marrying someone to Arnaud Luneste . Her legitimization was a quick and quiet affair, and while she and Arnaud managed to find enough common ground to make the relationship work, she has long held a bitterness in her heart towards the Dillestone line for the way they treated her until she became "useful." With her half-brother Eadvard III looking weaker by the day, Ragonde has been biding her time, waiting to see how the chips fall if and when he declares a new heir. Surely he can't be about to name his own bastard babe Mair Dillestone as his successor?

Mental characteristics

Education

Arrangements were made to ensure Ragonde received tutelage from court scholars by Eadvard II.

Social

Family Ties

Her husband Arnaud was lost to the Great Dream, and she's been sharing responsibilities running the house with his brother Labert Luneste  ever since. Despite being the mother of Roseline, Ragonde sometimes feels that the rest of House Luneste still regards her as an outsider, something she works hard to mitigate and overcome.

Religious Views

At the request of her husband Arnaud, Ragonde converted to the Cult of the Golden Prophet shortly before their marriage, a move that was condemned but ultimately tolerated by the Church of the Six Saints in favour of political expediency.
