A daughter of a priest to Bast in Backbone. Orphaned by the war with Lowland in 1091 and adopted by Sorgul who began to teach her some magic. When Sorgul was converted to evil in 1093, she began a quest to restore him. With Edric and Sly's help, she completed her quest in May, 1104. She took the responsibility to wield the Good Trio of Might when they were recovered and is now the self-proclaimed Queen of Backbone.
When the main resettlement was complete, Rathwyn considered stepping down as monarch but was troubled by the squabbling families that might step into the power void that act would create. To this day, she remains “Queen” – though she prefers to be known as “The High Priestess” for her religious duties, or “Countess” for her civic duties. She briefly married but bore no children before her husband died unexpectedly. As a result, there is considerable concern about the succession.
