Queen Arelora, was the fourth monarch (659676 TR) of the Kingdom of Kanday. Queen Arelora is best remembered as the “warrior queen.” During the Five-Year War with the Thardic League, she assumed command of the Kandian army after its defeat at the Battle of the Teb Marshes in 663. Bedecked in silver armour and with stirring speeches to her demoralized troops, the 52-year-old queen led her army to victory at the Battle of Eidru in 665 and captured Kuseme Castle for Kanday. Some say she would have conquered Coranan itself but for the barrier of the Thard River. Arelora’s victories and charisma forced the League to sue for peace, ending the war in Kanday’s favor in 666. Arelora, the widow of the former King Ashenan, died childless in 676, succeeded by Andasin III.
