Jadwiga

~ Planet Teirus ~ Jadwiga is the Sovereign of Ignara, also known as the Sovereign of the Occult and the Shadows. Jadwiga is the second ever Sovereign of Ignara and member and leader of the Wojcieska Family. The First Sovereign of Ignara was Jadwiga‘s older sister, Izabel Wojcieska, who perished in the “First Sundering” - the great war that happened aeons ago and involved every nation and was the cause of the deaths of most First Sovereigns. Never having gotten over her sister‘s death, Jadwiga is a cold, ruthless and battle-forged Sovereign. She rules with an iron fist and is feared and seen as a tyrant by many nations. Most people in Ignara however, worship and love her. Before Jadwiga became the Sovereign, Ignara was a thriving and dark but not colorless country with beautiful old and sturdy architecture. However, the nation has always been plagued by Ciénska Krystalizacja, an infectious disease that turns its victims into crystallized, mindless and human-eating shadows. Before Jadwiga‘s sister perished, Izabel would dedicate every second of her life to find a cure for her people while Jadwiga introduced The Cleansing: Jadwiga would publicly execute any caught infected person and she would tell her people that it was a necessary ritual. The Cleansing has triggered a Civil War in Ignara between Jadwiga‘s followers and the Opposition who are against The Cleansing. This led to the country being no more than ruins and darkness after 800 years of Jadwiga‘s reign. Even now, the Civil War goes on while Ignara is locked in a war with the snowy nation of Siberza due to territorial disputes. Only the Wojcieska dynasty is immune to this disease and have thus been always seen as leaders of Ignara, with Jadwiga being the Absolute. Ignara‘s capital is Czarnoróg and its Sovereign resides in Twierdza Mroczno which has the form of a fortress shrouded in black fog.
