Rather, she has taken the role of wolf tamer, donning leather hides from elk. While a tamer is a noble profession, doing so has made her isolated from the rest of the tribe.

Her eyes narrowed as she pieced together the clues, her mind racing with possibilities. "We have him, Raiden," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "He's heading east, towards the Dragon's Spine mountains." For 500 years, the Calradia Empire united the tribes under the leadership of the Crowned Barbarian Empress.

For centuries, the Calradia Empire stood as a beacon of unity and strength, binding disparate tribes under the wise and fierce leadership of the Crowned Barbarian Empress. However, as time passed, the insidious forces of corruption, greed and lust for power began to erode the empire's foundations. Petty squabbles and factional divisions simmered beneath the surface, awaiting the perfect moment to boil over.

Their victorious battle against the necromancer Eliza Corpsereaver would spark the dawn of a new era. Inspired by the radiant sun, the three queens merged their tribes to form the Golden Suns. This powerful union laid the foundation for the kingdom of Terrasol. Lysara's formidable Ossaria Keep became the capital, proudly bearing the Golden Suns' emblem: three intertwined suns symbolizing unity and hope.

The war-torn realm of eastern Calradia teetered on the brink of collapse. Three queens of the east ruled over their respective tribes: Lysara Ironheart guided the Dead Bones tribe, Sigrun Skullcrush led the Mute Hands, and Astrid Flamebreak from the Rabid Arrows. Yet, a new threat emerged, one that would alter their fates. Eliza Corpsereaver, a ruthless necromancer, animating the fallen and turning them against the living. The necromancer's power spread, disrupting trade routes, threatening famine and further bloodshed. Recognizing their common foe, the three leaders forged an uneasy alliance. High Priestess Cybil Dawnbringer, leader of the Holy Paladins, offered her aid, recognizing the necromancer's evil as a threat to all of Calradia. Together, the unlikely allies launched a final assault. The battle raged relentlessly for days with Eliza’s undead minions, but as the final morning broke, the tide turned.

As the High Priestess and the Holy Paladins returned to the Calradia Empire, the queens realized their unity was more than a temporary alliance.
