'''Marquin''', also known as '''Marquin the Radiant''', was one of the heroes of the [[Creler Wars]], and the first [Queen] of [[Calanfer]].

== Appearance ==
She was a huge,<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/16/8-73-r/ Chapter 8.73 R]</ref> muscular woman, with bright blue eyes,<ref name=":8.82-2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/26/8-82-pt-2/ Chapter 8.82 (Pt. 2)]</ref> a toothgap, a mane of light brown hair, that was rather like a lion’s, and had a single breast, having amputated the other one after it was infected with Creler poison.<ref name=": 8.70 E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/13/8-70-e/ Chapter 8.70 E]</ref> She had ruddy cheeks and a strong chin.<ref>{{VERef|10.35 - Pt. 2}}</ref>

== Personality ==

}}
Marquin had a boisterous personality. In sharp contrast with her kingdom's current reputation of diplomacy and propriety, she had an unrefined manner of speaking, enjoyed cracking dirty jokes about her missing breast. While a great warrior, after the Creler Wars, she had no desire to kill anymore, and only took up arms six times after that. Despite her reputation as a [Diplomat], Marquin expressed dismay that [[Calanfer]]'s diplomatic prowess came at the cost of their military power. She has a low opinion of light magic, and objected to light as a motif for the [[Thronebearers of Calanfer]], suggesting that they should have been called the "Crelerbane Order." She regretted not telling her descendants to build up strength in preparation for other [[Dead Gods|enemies]].<ref name=": 8.70 E" />

== Background ==
Marquin fought during the end of the Creler Wars. After [[Rhir]] was reclaimed, rather than stay to help found the [[Blighted Kingdom]] or venture deeper to find what created the [[Crelers]] she chose to listen to [[Czkelcill Mirrex|Czkelcill Mirrex's]] warnings not to proceed and returned to [[Terandria]]. She was awarded the lands of Calanfer for her heroism and of top of that she was given the Dragonthrone of Illuminations by the Dragonlord of war Mauridekash Lauthezaum Shorre<ref>{{VERef|10.34 MGF}}</ref>.

As a Queen, she put down her sword and sought diplomacy instead. She made peace with everyone she could, from [Barbarians] to Cyclopes to [[Goblins]]. <ref name=": 8.70 E" />

== Quotes ==

* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/13/8-70-e/ To] Centis) “Even the ones without armor have ''breasts.'' Plural! Whereas ''I’m'' pretty sure I had to have one removed from all the Creler-poison! Not that it stopped me from breastfeeding you with one, right, Centis? Eh? Eh?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/13/8-70-e/ To] [[Nirayicel|Red Dragoness]]) “With ''diplomacy.'' Their leader said, ''‘who are you to stand before us as equals’?'' And I? I said, ''‘I am Queen Marquin of the Single Breast. So we’ve both got one important thing in common!’.''”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/03/13/8-70-e/ To everyone]) “…Yet I made this. The last Dragons bequeathed their throne to me as a sign of respect. This was blasted land after the Crelers ravaged it, and yet—six thousand years a nation has stood that I founded. For better or worse. I must see how it ends.”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/26/8-82-pt-2/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “I am Queen Marquin, young woman. The first ruler of Calanfer, which stands to this day. And may be in danger of falling. But my kingdom stands, and so do we ghosts. How can we help you? What do you need?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/26/8-82-pt-2/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]], and Terandria Rulers) “''Hahaha!'' Now there’s a coincidence! Then you are twice well-met, Erin Solstice. Come, vaunted rulers. Here is a girl who has a road back to life—have you nothing to give her besides indifference and scorn? She can be one of our ways to warn the living. Put aside your differences and ''help'' her. Where do you need to be?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/26/8-82-pt-2/ To] [[Erin Solstice|Erin]]) “Now there is a story. An [Innkeeper] who defies those six?”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/26/8-82-pt-2/ To ghost noblewomen]) “I call on every ghost with no words left to say to join me. We will only scream defiance into the jaws of despair. Come, you brave women from every age! ''Who will follow me and defy death itself?''”
* ([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/04/26/8-82-pt-3/ To the living]) “Live well! Live for no more regrets! Not one, and do not throw your lives away! Spend your every second as though it matters most. ''For there will be nothing in death.''”
