Her Royal Highness, Brightness Fen Rnamadi is Queen of Thaylenah ; a Kingdom in Roshar.

Appearance and Personality

Fen has an oval face, yellow eyes, and white Thaylen eyebrows she kept curled to hang down beside her cheeks. She let her grey hair fall down to cover her shoulders. When speaking with confidence, Queen Fen can be very direct to the point of rudeness, however, when moving to “queenspeak” it means she lost trust on the conversation. She wants the conversation be genuine and honest.

History

After the Everstorm

The Everstorm hit Thaylenah several times causing much damage. The storm broke their aqueducts, sewer systems, and ripped apart the docks. They would have to rebuild the city. The parshmen transformed and stole a grand fleet of royal warships and private trading, and used them to flee the city.

At that time, she was contacted by Dalinar, she was not open on going to Urithiru and was even more suspicious of the oathgates and the radiants. She did not want to be responsible for Thaylenah to fall to the Alethi.

Dalinar’s visions

The first vision Dalinar asked for Fen was the Radients war falling from the sky. He was placed far away and was unable to get to her until the battle had passed. She was able to save the child, though letting the mother to die, and organized the town, pitted them against the enemy. Dalinar joined her, asking to join is coalition again. When she denied, his temper showed and he shout. That was when Fen actually started listening again. She explained she wanted honesty and truth. She ended the vision being asked by the Radiant to join them at Urithiru, this seemed to trouble her. She would consider his sincerity, though Dalinar could sense she is concerned he had turned sides.

She was shown different visions, until, in a morning’s highstorm, The queen of Thaylenah had asked that Dalinar send her into the vision of Aharietiam, which she knew about from the published accounts of Dalinar’s visions. He’d reluctantly sent her alone, without supervision. Shortly after that, she agreed to receive Dalinar at Thaylen City.

Roshar’s Coalition

Upon Dalinar’s arrival to Thaylen City, Fen gave them the tour of the ten temples. Navani believed it comforted her by doing something familiar. She did not intent to linger on the two oldest temples and when Dalinar went to see them, he found out they had used them to keep the wounded people. She left them some food and went to see other matters, a political strategy to show she was the one with power there. Upon renewal, Dalinar had beat her son in a fight and called for Renarin to aid on the healing of her people. After both those events, she accepted to join the coalition, and called it the first real united Vorin coalition the world has seen since the Hierocracy.

She later aided Dalinar on getting the Azish to join as well, not only by providing useful tactics, but with a letter to them, asking them to do so.

At the meeting, she and her consort were engaged committed to the coalition. She did ask for free trade and was curious on the fabrials that could lead to shardplate, but settled to agreements after Navani gave her kingdom the task to oversee trade and supplies fairly. By the next meeting, where Dalinar understood that the target would be Thaylen, Fen understood and helped plot the defense; they agreed to have the next meeting at Tayalen.

That meeting started very positive, however, after Taravangian´s treason and the leakage of Dalinar’s secrets, the coalition broke. Queen Fen was mostly worried that before Elhokar went to Alethkar, he swore to Dalinar to accept him as Highking. Her trust on him was compromised. Bitter as she was, she acknowledged war was still coming and she could not afford to let him go.

Battle of Thaylen City

Just before the battle, Queen Fen, her consort and Navani were looking at the battlefield at a tower. The odds didn’t look that bad until Amaram’s army turned sides. During the battle itself, they were attacked by a huge rock monster who destroyed the tower they were in. Navani and Fen were able to go down the surviving steps. Navani, Fen and her consort Kmakl were then captured by one of Amaram’s troops who still blamed the Kholins for the killing of Torol Sadeas. As they were going to execute Kmakl, Navani pulled out her painbrial and knocked their enemies down.

After that, hey were joined by Adolin and later Jasnah came in to ask them to clear the center of the city and save citizens. Once the battle ended, Dalinar accepted a respectful bow from the queen.

Attributes and Abilities

The queen does not seem to have any magical abilities. Here leading abilities were displayed on her first visit to a vision, where she was able to organize the town and confront the enemy. . She is a good politician who understands strategy and other kingdoms.

Relationships

Kmakl

Her closest personal relation seems to be Kmakl, her consort. He accompanies her everywhere and usually he would only stand behind her and—whenever she said something he thought significant—nod for her scribes to record it in the official histories. He would sometimes give his opinion, like his reading on the battlefield at Thaylen.

Trivia

Thaylenah is kind of a plutocracy, with merchant councils holding a lot of power, which changes its dynamic a little when compared to Alethi or Jah Keved.
