However, in a surprise vote the Council instead chose her husband to become Empeurer instead, and she would spend the following 24 years as Empeuress Consort, devoting her time mainly to publishing sociological papers and working for various charities. The [[Vrotrith poisoning scandal]] in 1973 would eventually unravel a web of corruption and scandal at every level of Myrorian government, and would lead to the [[impeachment of Peté Tar-Ilium|impeachment]] of the Empeurer in 1974 and Fredrika's accession to the throne. |

| + | The effects of the Vrotrith scandal did not leave Fredrika untouched; the early years of her rule were marked by low opinion polls, both of the Empeurer and the Great House system which, as head of state, she administered. In an effort to improve her public image as well as consolidate power, she instituted a widespread system of programs designed to alleviate poverty, including the construction of new housing projects, Myroria's first low-income public health insurance program, and work-release programs in Imperial prisons. Fredrika also decreed into effect drastic [[Great House reform|reforms]] of the Great House system that, though considered successful, have been described by detractors as "autocratic". | ||

| + | Fredrika is the second woman to sit on the throne of Myroria, and has devoted much energy to ensuring continued access to education for girls and young women. Her coronation in 1974 was the first to be televised, and her reign saw a much-expanded space program as well as the founding of the Imperial Forest Service, dedicated to preserving old growth forests in the south and east of the nation. Though she has occasionally faced severe criticism of the Imperial Family and republican sentiments, currently support for the monarchy and her personal popularity remain high. | ||

| + | ==Early life== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Fredrika is the first child of Fendryn Quarrovth and his wife Vadeni Quarrovth. Her father was a decorated war veteran who fought in the [[Great War]] on the Myrorian and Ozian fronts, and was in command of the Myrorian forces during the [[Resdaynian Aboriginal War]] when she was born. Her mother was an author of moderate renown who published several books on the genealogy of various Great House nobles. Fredrika was born on 3:46 AM on January 11, 1923, in the family's homestead in [[Nelvil's Landing]], [[Nouvé Resdaynia]]. She was baptized in the Myrorian Catholic Church by the town's priest on February 14, and named Fredrika after her father and Vadeni after her mother. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When Fredrika was two years old, her mother died of tuberculosis. Fendryn never remarried and raised his daughter alone on Nouvé Resdaynia, though by the time of his election to the throne in 1930 she spent most of her time with governesses or at the [[Imperial Lycée at Green Hills]], an exclusive boarding school for children from wealthy families around the world. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==Heir presumptive== | ||
| + | |||
| + | On May 7, 1930, the Empeurer of Myroria, [[Nelvil II Moomintroth]], died. [[Great House Moomintroth]], previously the foremost and most powerful House on the Council for more than a century, found its support base crumbling after a Pyrrhic victory in the [[Great War]], and it was widely assumed in the press that the Council would choose a new king from a different House to lead the nation upon Nelvil's death. The two candidates considered most likely for the position were Fredrika's father, Fendryn, and Anos Indiotrovth, of House Indiotrovth. One month into the Council's rule of Myroria, and still some weeks away from any election, the [[Indiotrovth scandal]] broke, and it was revealed by several whistleblowers that agents from the Royal Confederacy of [[Eluvatar]] were holding high positions as nobles in House Indiotrovth. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once this scandal came out, Anos Indiotrovth's chances for election all but vanished and on July 15, Fendryn was elected Empeurer of Myroria. Fredrika, seven years of age, became [[Crown Princess of Myroria]], but this had little effect on her studies at the Lycée. | ||

Fredrika Tar-Ilium (Fredrika Vadeni Quarrovth Tar-Ilium; born January 11, 1923) is the Empeuress of Myroria, and the second woman to take the throne. Born in Nelvil's Landing, Nouvé Resdaynia, to decorated veteran and future Empeurer of Myroria Fendryn Quarrovth, Fredrika lived most of her early childhood in Nouvé Resdaynia on her family's homestead before being sent to boarding school in mainland Myroria. After her education there, she attended the Imperial College at Fellowmoor and graduated with a degree in sociology in 1944, the same year she would marry her husband and future king Peté Tar-Ilium. For the following five years she would work part-time as an advisor for the Council of Great Houses.
In 1950, Fendryn died and Fredrika, as his only child, was expected to easily win election by the Council and take the throne. However, in a surprise vote the Council instead chose her husband to become Empeurer instead, and she would spend the following 24 years as Empeuress Consort, devoting her time mainly to publishing sociological papers and working for various charities. The Vrotrith poisoning scandal in 1973 would eventually unravel a web of corruption and scandal at every level of Myrorian government, and would lead to the impeachment of the Empeurer in 1974 and Fredrika's accession to the throne.
The effects of the Vrotrith scandal did not leave Fredrika untouched; the early years of her rule were marked by low opinion polls, both of the Empeurer and the Great House system which, as head of state, she administered. In an effort to improve her public image as well as consolidate power, she instituted a widespread system of programs designed to alleviate poverty, including the construction of new housing projects, Myroria's first low-income public health insurance program, and work-release programs in Imperial prisons. Fredrika also decreed into effect drastic reforms of the Great House system that, though considered successful, have been described by detractors as "autocratic".
Fredrika is the second woman to sit on the throne of Myroria, and has devoted much energy to ensuring continued access to education for girls and young women. Her coronation in 1974 was the first to be televised, and her reign saw a much-expanded space program as well as the founding of the Imperial Forest Service, dedicated to preserving old growth forests in the south and east of the nation. Though she has occasionally faced severe criticism of the Imperial Family and republican sentiments, currently support for the monarchy and her personal popularity remain high.

Early life
Fredrika is the first child of Fendryn Quarrovth and his wife Vadeni Quarrovth. Her father was a decorated war veteran who fought in the Great War on the Myrorian and Ozian fronts, and was in command of the Myrorian forces during the Resdaynian Aboriginal War when she was born. Her mother was an author of moderate renown who published several books on the genealogy of various Great House nobles. Fredrika was born on 3:46 AM on January 11, 1923, in the family's homestead in Nelvil's Landing, Nouvé Resdaynia. She was baptized in the Myrorian Catholic Church by the town's priest on February 14, and named Fredrika after her father and Vadeni after her mother.
When Fredrika was two years old, her mother died of tuberculosis. Fendryn never remarried and raised his daughter alone on Nouvé Resdaynia, though by the time of his election to the throne in 1930 she spent most of her time with governesses or at the Imperial Lycée at Green Hills, an exclusive boarding school for children from wealthy families around the world.
Heir presumptive
On May 7, 1930, the Empeurer of Myroria, Nelvil II Moomintroth, died. Great House Moomintroth, previously the foremost and most powerful House on the Council for more than a century, found its support base crumbling after a Pyrrhic victory in the Great War, and it was widely assumed in the press that the Council would choose a new king from a different House to lead the nation upon Nelvil's death. The two candidates considered most likely for the position were Fredrika's father, Fendryn, and Anos Indiotrovth, of House Indiotrovth. One month into the Council's rule of Myroria, and still some weeks away from any election, the Indiotrovth scandal broke, and it was revealed by several whistleblowers that agents from the Royal Confederacy of Eluvatar were holding high positions as nobles in House Indiotrovth.
Once this scandal came out, Anos Indiotrovth's chances for election all but vanished and on July 15, Fendryn was elected Empeurer of Myroria. Fredrika, seven years of age, became Crown Princess of Myroria, but this had little effect on her studies at the Lycée.
