=== Early Life ===
Aesudan married Elhokar some time before his ascension to the throne of Alethkar. Little of her life prior to that was known. As a princess of Alethkar, she attended the treaty signing feast with the Parshendi on the night that King [[Gavilar Kholin]] was assassinated by [[Szeth]].{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} On that same night, prior to the king's death, [[Jasnah Kholin]] met with [[Liss]], an assassin that she had hired as one of Aesudan's maids. For unknown reasons, Jasnah instructed Liss to observe Aesudan and report back on her actions, but not to assassinate her unless Jasnah ordered it. Ultimately Jasnah decided against that, but her reasoning remains unclear. Elhokar later stated that his sister had spoken out against his decision to marry Aesudan in the past, and that she'd claimed Aesudan was too power-hungry. Elhokar, however, just took it for strength.
 
She was present at the private ceremony for Gavilar's interment.{{book ref|sa3|105}}
 
At some point, Aesudan also gave birth to a son, [[Gavinor]], but exactly when this occurs is uncertain.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
