## Recent History
### [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|The Shadow Master]] Crisis
During [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]]'s reign of terror over [[Silvervale - Port City of South Angoria|Silvervale]], Princess Ashlee's mother, Queen Flavia, fell into a deep, unbreakable coma following the villain's defeat. The circumstances of the Queen's condition remain mysterious, with no clear path to recovery yet discovered.
Princess Ashlee witnessed the full scope of [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]]'s corruption and deception, including the revelation that some of the kingdom's most trusted allies had been compromised or controlled.
### Post-Battle Leadership
Following the defeat of [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]] and the great battle that saw smoke, explosions, and dragons fighting above the waters near the isles, Princess Ashlee has stepped into a leadership role:
- **Task Force Leadership:** She assembled and leads a task force dedicated to finding a cure for Queen Flavia's coma, working alongside her father the King
- **Ceremonial Duties:** She performed the formal recognition of [[The Heralds of Silver]], bestowing upon them the Medal of Heroism
- **Diplomatic Role:** She has taken on meeting with key figures and making important decisions in her mother's absence
### [[The Heralds of Silver]] Recognition
Princess Ashlee personally honored [[The Heralds of Silver]] in a grand ceremony at the castle. She bestowed upon them the coveted Medal of Heroism, described as:
- Made from the purest silver
- Intricately etched with the words "For Courage, Loyalty, and Unwavering Spirit"
- Adorned with a crest of a majestic silver dragon flying over rippling water
- Surrounded by five deep red gems inlaid along its edges
The heroes she honored included:
- [[Ahria Maritani]] (The Witch of the North)
- [[Aeriloth (Swift) - The Watcher in the Woods|Swift]] (The Shadow Slayer, Dragon Slayer)
- Danaria (who declined the medal)
- Gretch
- Others from the party
### Jia's Interrogation
Princess Ashlee personally visited Jia in her cell in the dungeons. During this visit, Jia witnessed only "hate and anger" in the Princess's eyes - understandable given what Jia had done while under [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]]'s control.
Despite her anger, Princess Ashlee appears to be handling the interrogation and intelligence gathering professionally, as Jia's information proved crucial in revealing:
- [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|Renald]]'s ([[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]]'s) alliance with [[Anam]] ([[Anam|The Withered One]])
- The soul-gathering operation for the phylactery
- The Brimstone Wraith's involvement in the conspiracy
## Personality & Character
### Visible Traits
- **Anger and Grief:** Shows strong emotions when confronting those who betrayed the kingdom, particularly during her visit to Jia's cell
- **Duty-Focused:** Despite personal grief over her mother's condition, she continues performing royal duties
- **Determined:** Actively working to find a cure for her mother rather than giving in to despair
### Relationships
- **[[King Ednon Leemax of Silvervale|King Ednon]] Leemax (Father):** Works closely with him on the task force to cure Queen Flavia. As a Level 14 Fighter, her father provides the martial strength while she likely provides divine insight and healing knowledge.
- **Queen Flavia Leemax (Mother):** Currently in deep coma. Ashlee is devoted to finding a cure. The tragic revelation that her mother was corrupted by [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]] adds a complex layer of betrayal and grief to her situation.
- **Prince Artorious Leemax (Brother, Age 29):** A Level 15 Fighter, one year older than Ashlee. His role in the current crisis is unclear.
- **Princess Spixi Leemax (Sister, Age 18):** A young Level 6 Wizard, ten years younger than Ashlee. As the youngest member of the royal family, she may need protection and guidance during this turbulent time.
- **The [[The Heralds of Silver|Heralds of Silver]]:** Grateful for their heroism in saving the city and uncovering [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]]'s plot
- **Jia:** Holds understandable hatred toward the former Shadow Master servant, though receives her intelligence professionally
## Current Situation
Princess Ashlee is managing multiple crises simultaneously:
1. **Medical Crisis:** Her mother remains in an unbreakable coma
2. **Military Threat:** [[Silvervale - Port City of South Angoria|Silvervale]]'s top warriors and generals are deployed fighting devils and undead, leaving the city potentially vulnerable
3. **Internal Security:** Dealing with the aftermath of [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]]'s infiltration and ensuring no other corrupted individuals remain
4. **Public Morale:** Maintaining citizen confidence while managing these threats
The kingdom has effectively rallied around [[The Heralds of Silver]] as symbols of hope, with citizens believing they will protect [[Silvervale - Port City of South Angoria|Silvervale]] from the coming army of devils.
## Unknown Details
Several aspects of Princess Ashlee's situation remain unclear:
- What deity does she serve as a cleric? (Given [[Silvervale - Port City of South Angoria|Silvervale]]'s prominence, likely [[Perserphina]], [[Lialandra]], or another major deity)
- What is her clerical domain?
- Did she know about her mother's corruption before the revelation?
- What are her specific abilities and spells as a 15th level cleric?
- What role did she play during the actual battle against [[Renald the Sahdowmaster|the Shadow Master]]?
- Does she have any romantic relationships or suitors?
- What is her relationship with the various temples and churches in [[Silvervale - Port City of South Angoria|Silvervale]]?
## Campaign Significance
Princess Ashlee represents the continuity of [[Silvervale - Port City of South Angoria|Silvervale]]'s government during a time of crisis. Her presence ensures that despite the Queen's incapacitation and the King's focus on finding a cure, the kingdom continues to function. Her recognition of The [[The Heralds of Silver|Heralds of Silver]] legitimized them as official protectors of [[Silvervale - Port City of South Angoria|Silvervale]] and raised their profile significantly among the citizenry.
Her emotional response to Jia, combined with her professional handling of the interrogation, suggests a young royal learning to balance personal feelings with the needs of statecraft - a character potentially growing into greater responsibility through crisis.
