| Azure is the Primary Realm in the Inner Lands of the Terra Magica system:
the underwater lands that exist in parallel to the air breathing worlds of
Sable. In the early days, it was ruled by a man named Hopkin, although he
only ever claimed the title of Steward and stepped down as Azure's Regent
on Alison's accession to the throne. By birth, the Queen is the eldest child of King Robert and Queen Claire, and elder twin to King Cathal of Agent. She was brought up by her parents on the King's Isle on Sable itself, although from a very early age she knew that she would eventually become a queen in her own right, as it had been decreed in the earliest days of the Realm. She was a fairly boisterous child, much more interested in being out enjoying herself than studying. She was also something of a bully, being surprisingly strong for her age: she certainly made her rather more studious brother Cathal's life a misery at times, and the rivalry between them often only just stopped short of active violence. Eventually, however, she began to calm down, and did qualify to attend Sable Mage College. She specialised in healing and natural magics - especially water magics - although she also has a grounding in combat and defensive magic. She graduated with her Masters at the age of twenty-five, and then spent a couple of years away from Sable. However, she returned in time for her twenty-seventh birthday, and on that day she was formerly granted the realm of Azure by her father. |

She was crowned Queen of Azure six months later, and has remained as the underwater city's monarch ever since. There, she takes her responsibilities very seriously, and is popular with her people. She has done a lot to consolidate Azure and its nearest neighbours, forming a bloc similar to the Commonwealth in the Inner Lands. As Queen, her most trusted advisor is her former Regent, Hopkin, who has offered the benefits of his experience and guidance as her Chancellor throughout her realm.
In appearance, Alison is fairly small, about 5'4", with a light, wiry figure. However, despite her size, she seems fit and looks quite capable of taking care of herself. Unlike her brother Cathal, she has remained unmarried, although she has had occasional favourites over the years. However, until now, all marital speculation in those directions has remained unfounded.
