Queen Nareya I (Na - ray - a)
Queen Nareya Raadi
Relationships
History
The marriage was arranged by the late King Velebor at Prince Gawain's request, the young Prince having found then-Princess Nareya charming and attractive when she previously visited Nerevarn with her father. When she raised no objections, the marriage was solemnized by proxy with a female member of the Nerevarn Royal Guard standing in for Nareya in the ceremony at Illyria, and a chieftain of the the Nomads of Sarayne standing in for Gawain in the counterpart ceremony in Raad. After the marriage, Prince Gawain travelled north in a grand procession to join his wife in Sarayne.
Relationship Reasoning
Partially a marriage of state, uniting The Royal House of Nerevarn with their nearest friendly nation through ties of blood, the fact that the two took to one another - first Gawain and then Nareya reciprocated - was seen as a fortunate sign. King Velebor, Gawain's father, was pleased to be able to arrange a match for his second son which was both desired by the couple and politically beneficial.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
The couple are fond of riding, tournaments, jousting and other festival sports. The queen is an excellent horsewoman, but prefers hunting to jousting, whereas King Consort Gawain is often known to enter tournaments in disguise to test his skill in a fair fight, where the opponent will not 'go easy' on him because of his rank and titles.
Legal Status
