Neranda

Ruler of one of the world's last dwarven kingdoms, she is trying to keep her people alive and to resist the increasing control from Aram's leadership.

Story
As it happens with Janine, she is another unhappy ruler. In this case, her woes are not internal (as her subjects are a very pragmatical, obedient race ) but external for the most part (with the notorious exception of her spouse, a really unpleasant adulterous being). Due to its status as a vassal state, most of her headaches are coming from Aram (scheming mages, rapist soldier from the local Aramite garrison, etc...).

Although there has been previous contact between her and Simon (the exact mechanism has various variations in game), their first encounter face-to-face happens when the Doom King decides to break the status quo and be proactive. At first reluctant, she soon realizes that the outsiders can help her declining kingdom.
