Falka was the oldest daughter of Redania's King Vridank and his first wife, Beatrix of Kovir.[2]

Biography[]

Childhood[]

When her father met the beautiful Cerro, he promptly divorced Beatrix and sent her and one year old Falka packing and back to Kovir. Practically forgotten, she was determined to take back what she believed rightfully belonged to her as the eldest child.[3]

Rebellion[]

25 years later, in the 1150s, she began her infamous rebellion, three years after King Goidemar of Temeria and Riannon married. During the rebellion, Falka killed her father, two half-brothers - Heltmult and Denhard - and her father's second wife - Queen Cerro, allegedly with her own hands. The then-pregnant Riannon was also accidentally captured and imprisoned by Falka's rebels in Houtborg Castle.[3]

While in prison, Riannon gave birth to a set of twins and then went mad. Around the same time, Falka also gave birth and left her newborn in the hands of the deranged prisoner. Not long after, the rebellion was quelled and Falka was tried and condemned to die by burning on a stake. According to legend, Falka cursed all the people present and promised that they and their progeny would suffer in the hands of a child bearing her blood.[3][4]

Appearance and personality[]

Falka had long, straight coal-black hair and was said to have looked more elven than her mother, suggesting she was rather beautiful.[1]
