Queen Mishann ir'Wynarn was the first monarch and founder of the kingdom of Cyre.[2][3][4] She reigned from 858 to 908 YK.[4]

Relations[]

She was the first scion, that is, eldest daughter of King Jarot ir'Wynarn[2][3] and the elder sister of her brothers Kaius, Thalin, and Wrogar and her sister Wroann.[2][3] Her son and successor was Brusst.[5]

History[]

In 858 YK, Mishann became the governor-prince of Cyre. She succeeded her uncle, Jarot's brother, after learning the skills of the position from him.[2][4][6][7]

Why should the oldest and weakest automatically gain the crown?
— Wroann's question to her siblings[2]

She served in this position until her father's death in 894 YK. Following the laws of succession that had been observed since the reign of Galifar I, Mishann should have, by all rights and traditions, inherited the crown. Instead, when they met at Thronehold for the funeral and intended coronation, Thalin of Thrane rejected Mishann's claim and the whole concept of primogeniture, and was supported by Kaius of Karrnath and Wroann of Breland. Furthermore, Thalin and Wroann each declared they should rule and marshalled their vassals. It was only Wrogar of Aundair's intervention, in support of Mishann, that prevented the shedding of royal blood in Thronehold. The scions departed Thronehold and within the year this conflict over who should inherit the throne of Galifar sparked the century of bloody conflict known as the Last War, with Cyre and Aundair facing off against Breland, Karrnath and Thrane, before even these alliances collapsed.[2][6][8][7] That year, Mishann declared herself Queen of Cyre, now a sovereign nation, though she didn't give up her claim to the throne of Galifar.[2][4]

Over the sea in Xen'drik, local Brelish seized the Galifar consulate in Stormreach and some Cyrans petitioned Mishann to maintain links there. Although uninterested and distracted by the war, she permitted Lord Traven ir'Thavar and some merchants to settle in Stormreach, establishing a trading outpost.[9]

Agents of the Order of the Emerald Claw assassinated Queen Mishann in 908 YK. She was succeeded immediately by her son Brusst ir'Wynarn.[5]
