Princess Wendy is the youngest of King Olanson's surviving children and the daughter of Queen Mary.
Succession and Coronation
Following King Olanson's assassination by a Slith assassin, multiple heirs claimed the throne. Wendy was not of age but was backed by her mother, Queen Mary. Violet, High Priest of Navere in Berana, resolved the succession crisis by declaring a new rule: if a ruler dies without an heir while married, their spouse may name the heir. This established Mary and Wendy as the legitimate ruling line.
Wendy's coronation proceeded with significant security planning led by Vidan. The primary threat concerns were Slith attacks and escaped Breaker priests rather than rival siblings. During the ceremony, Wendy received oaths of loyalty from all contending heirs and from her mother. Violet contributed minimal divine intervention to the ritual. After a break for refreshments, the Transfer of Office was conducted with additional oaths from mercenary captains and other officials.
Political Support
Wendy's faction, known as the Roses, commanded substantial support during the succession crisis. Initial tallies showed the Roses held 25 supporters, far exceeding rival factions: the Fists and Crosses (6), the Top Hats (8), the Lemons (4), and the Leaves (7).
Known Issues
Long-term stability concerns focus on potential loyalty issues within the Guard to the other contenders. Building personal loyalty among the Guard to Mary and Wendy remains a ongoing concern, though it was not necessary before the coronation.
She became Queen Wendy following her coronation, with her mother Queen Mary serving as regent.
