Merindue was the second [Queen] of Nerrhavia's Fallen.

Appearance

Merindue is a tall Stitch-Woman made of Silk, though her skin looked like metal. She had a jeweled brooch embedded in her forehead, and her arms had bangles of jade. She's unadorned in gold or gems, preferring to dress more humbly. Her clothes were marked with chalk.

Personality

Merindue is a kind, but impatient woman. She holds a great hatred for her predecessor, Nerrhavia and [Slavers], although she was willing to work with the former. In the land of the dead, she was irritated by the fact that she was a lesser ghost, and worked hard to prove her worth.

Background

Merindue used to be a [Magistrate] in Nerrhavia's empire before becoming part of the revolution that deposed Nerrhavia. She became the second ruler of her nation after the tyrant was overthrown.

Chronology

Merindue met with the newly deceased, as an effort from the dead to learn what was happening in the living world. She was the one that found Cawe and took her to Erin.

When the dead regained their Skills and magic, and several ghosts took the opportunity to settle old grudges, Merindue chose to fight alonside Nerrhavia instead of slaying her. She promised a reckoning after the current crisis was dealt with.

Merindue pushed Nerrhavia out of the way of a Seamwalker about to devour her. She survived and lasted until the near end of Kasignel, half-eaten. She ran Tamaroth through with Excalibur before being consumed, dealing him a wound that will not heal.

Quotes

• (To Cawe) “I was the second Queen of Nerrhavia’s Fallen after the tyrant died. Queen Merindue, Level 43 [Queen of the Freed Peoples]. Lower in level than many, but I ruled, so I maintain who I am.
• (To Nerrhavia) “You speak like the six have made some grand move. When, in fact, we have received the greatest hope of all, Nerrhavia. Do not be dramatic.”
• (To Nerrhavia's Fallen’s ghosts) “Nerrhavia’s Fallen—to me! We march with the Immortal Tyrant against the end of things! Abandon your grudges! To arms—to arms for the end of the world!”
• (To Nerrhavia) “We have forever for you to answer for your crimes. I will not have the living land of our people despoiled by those things. If we survive—there will be a reckoning.”
