Thalia Jovia Tritonides Khalida Thalia Jovia Tritonides Khalida. Say that name within Empyrean society and you'll receive very mixed opinion. Some people, the majority, will call her a traitor, having divorced her husband, Darius, in order to become Khalid Atar's wife and Queen. Others pity her, considering her a martyr for giving up her family in order to fulfill the designation in the peace treaty which called for an Empyrean bride for the God-King. Lastly, there are those few--very, very few--souls who look at what she's doing with a sense of hope. Can peace finally be achieved between such hated enemies? Only time will tell.

The eldest of Cassius Valerian Tritonides-- a scion of Valerian Alexos Tritonides, the last male patriarch of the family-- and Helen Corina Jove's two children, Thalia lived in Civitas Dei with her brother Amadeo, and pursued a career in art. Eventually she met and married a poor but ambitious man looking to move up the ranks of nobility, Darius Ilarion Corinthus.

Love is sweet when it is fresh and new, but Darius was prejudiced, as many Empyreans, towards the darkling taint. After several miscarriages, Thalia became desperate for children. Finally, she conceived twins. When they were born Darius was rudely awakened to the fact that he had two daughters: Riana who was fair and golden, and Oriane who was dark of hair and wings. He demanded that the darkling babe be banished and that the couple claim that they only had one daughter, but Thalia refused and this caused the fresh new love between Darius and Thalia to crumble into ash. After much argument, the young couple moved to Callisar's Eyrie where Darius only visited, prefering to be in Civitas Dei managing the family business and furthering his political pursuits. What love remained, after Darius' adament refusal to admit Oriane into his heart, disintegrated over time.

Thalia raised her daughters and ran the household at Callisar's Eyrie. After Darius declared that Oriane would go to Haven to live with an uncle while Riana would move to Civitas Dei, Thalia stayed at Callisar's Eyrie with her aging parents.

An artist, she lived a life removed from the political manueverings inherent within noble houses. However, that changed once the war between the Empyreans and the Varati began. She was taken prisoner by the Varati when they took her home and was held within Khalid Atar's own camp. From all accounts, she was treated very well and released back to her family in Haven once the treaty was drawn up.

However, the happy reunion with her loved ones did not last long and, much to the heartbreak of her family, she had her marriage to Darius dissolved. She is now the Queen-Maharani of the Varati, her wedding and coronation having taken place at Ushas-Gah within Masada. Her very presence among the Varati has brought strife among the People of Fire. Civil discord turned into rebellion with clans and Atarvani seeking to overthrow Khalid Atar. For a short time, it was rumored that the clans had succeeded and that the immortal God-King was indeed dead. However, he rose like the Phoenix from the dead only to bring more turmoil to an already troubled people. Rumors immediately following Khalid Atar's return to life stated that Thalia had been de-frocked as Queen-Maharani -- rumors supported by her removal from Haven and return to Callisar's Eyrie. After several months, Thalia returned to Haven even as Khalid departed for Masada.

Gentle and patient, she is fair to all and holds many of the liberal views held by members of her House. Yet, in the turbulence that has rocked the Varati people in the past year, a rock-like resolve has taken ahold of Thalia, bringing her closer to her Clan. A bridge between two ancient and seemingly implacable enemies, it will be interesting to see how her temperment will serve her and whether or not she can become accepted among both the Varati and the Empyreans.
