Amarantha · She Who Sealed Prythian Under the Mountain

Amarantha

“There are those who seek me a lifetime but never we meet, / And those I kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.”

Amarantha's Riddle, ACOTAR

Forty-nine years on a throne sunk beneath a mountain. Beautiful. Marble-cold. The curse was just her cruelty made permanent.

Siphoned seven High Lords to their knees and wore Jurian's finger bone on a chain. We did not forgive her. We are not at peace with it.
