Personality[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
Sheta was a third-generation ruler, inheriting the throne from her father. Teriarch would be her champion and advisor.
Sheta spent her life allowing her great empire to fall apart, trying to minimize the potential harm it could create. She created the [Garden of Sanctuary] when she was young and needed a place of solace. SHe used it to bring together friends and even foes, and as a place of confidence. Later, she created the [Pavilion of Secrets] as a weapon against her enemies, taking their secrets and turning them against each other. She hid its existence from Teriarch.[1]
Chronology[edit | edit source]
Volume 7[edit | edit source]
When Ryoka visited his cave, Teriarch remembered Sheta in her palace, among other young women he met like the Quarass and Magnolia. When he had asked Sheta why he should help her, she said he should do it out of honour and duty. He asked what will happen when her conviction fades, and she replied that he, an immortal, will remember them when they're gone. Teriarch thought that was a good answer and swore an oath of loyalty to her, as he had her predecessors. [2]
As Teriarch enters into the Garden of Sanctuary, he tell Erin that the garden was first created by Empress Sheta. Than as he walks around, he remembers the time when a full-grown Sheta lead him about it for the first time, telling him where she would plant flowers. And though they were different, they still bloomed aeons later.[3]
As Teriarch is left alone sitting with Ryoka on the hill of the Garden of Sanctuary, he remembers sitting there, on the very hill, as Sheta looked up and confessed all her worries as her grand empire struggled.[4]
During the riots in Invrisil, Teriarch remembers the time when Sheta flew fearlessly down to address tens of thousands of her subjects.[5]

Quotes[edit | edit source]
- To Teriarch:
- “I know it may be fruitless, sire. But if it is—why did we ever stop making nests on cliffs? Why do we strive, if not for this temporary today?”
- “Shouldn’t we do all that we can to make the Empire as plentiful as we can? That is why I was born. To rule. I must do it well.”
- “I do not know. But I hope you will judge me and all those. I trust you, Lord Teriarch. I know I am not as intelligent as my father. Or as brave. Perhaps I am flawed. Perhaps, as you say, none of this matters. But you still fly with us. So, I must believe this.”
- “If I do not matter, if Iltanus does not—if we are but dust in ages to come, he who is immortal and eternal will remember us. And if he remembers us well, we will surely not die.”
- (To everyone) “We were delivering the oldest ghosts to their foe. Come! The last flight of the world is upon us! The Dragonlord of Flame wakes as he always does!”
