History
Anastasia Brinkrock was born in the hill city of Krith in Sweetwood in 103 AH. Her sharp mind and quick feet marked her as a prime candidate to become a scout. As a Cavanan scout, Anastasia had the rare opportunity to explore beyond the borders of her nation. Upon reaching maturity, she embarked on diplomatic missions to the Detrinian Empire, where she gained invaluable insight into their culture and architecture.
Because of this, Anastasia suddenly found herself deep within hostile territory when the Tunnel War broke out. For days she struggled to survive, narrowly evading capture by Detrinian soldiers. When she finally reached her hometown, she only found a massacre. The White Flood had wiped the town from the map and left no one alive. Furious, Anastasia vowed to make the Detrinian Empire pay for their treachery. Her intel proved vital in turning the tide of the war, allowing the Cavanan army to repel the Detrinians and halt the spread of the White Flood. In recognition of her invaluable contributions, Anastasia was appointed head of Cavana's spy network, where she used her analytical skills and knowledge of The Detrinian Empirt to great effect.
After the war's end, Anastasia’s exploits as the Spymaster were recognized by the Grandmasters, and was crowned the Queen of Structure. Anastasia came into the role with precise capability, dedicated to rebuilding what was lost in the Tunnel War and improving on the old as well. Her keen insight and decisive decision-making abilities prove invaluable in numerous areas, including war tactics, farming methods, and structural planning. Furthermore, Anastasia is a master of social encounters, able to navigate the intricate protocols of the Royal Hexagon with ease and precision.
Anastasia understands that for the nation to prosper and function effectively, the people must be content and healthy. This may seem cold to some, but to her, it’s just practical.
Present
Queen Anastasia is currently cracking down on the black market and those who support it, as well as making sure other nations are at least hesitant to take advantage of Cavana. She is sending spies throughout the queendom to search for evidence of insurrection, sneaking into areas with disguises or stealth. This mostly consists of these spies scouting for illegal dealings, but can go so far as discreetly searching a citizen’s home when they’re out of the house. She is also currently attending meetings with representatives, envoys, and even leaders of other nations, to attempt to convince them that aggression would be a mistake. Whether these diplomatic affairs will be resolved with cooperation or intimidation is yet to be seen.
Many Cavanans have doubts about having a former spymaster as a queen. Their paragon of leadership is being represented by someone who is expertly practiced in clandestineness and subterfuge. The clerical Grandmaster, Archbishop Fraulinde Brenntring, is one such individual. Though both the Queen and the Archbishop worship Chitas and the Order Pantheon, they disagree on what methods can be used when following the doctrines. Anastasia believes that lies and secrets can be used to maintain order, while Fraulinde believes that these methods are bound to spread chaos.
