Princess Regent Shinuakh Ardeni

Shinuakh was 20 years old when she was married to the newly elected Prince Khasra VII, who was almost 50. Following the Akhadurr Compromise of 1623, Khasra'il Merkar, until then a priest in the modest town of Silanga (in the vassal lands of the Ardeni family), was proclaimed Prince of Dallios. Due to the generous favor shown by her Ardeni benefactors, Shinuakh was chosen as his wife in an attempt to quickly produce an heir. Although unpleasant for the young woman, she eventually gave the kingdom an heir, shortly after which Khasra VII proceeded to retire from political life, leaving Dallios under the Regency of Shinuakh (although he would still influence certain decisions). It would be from this regency that Dallios would gain key political-administrative, economic and military reforms for the future development of international relations, which would lead to the Deepwater War.
