'''Dowager Eliza Montagenet''', of the influential [[Montagenet]] family, | '''Dowager Eliza Montagenet''', of the influential [[Montagenet]] family, was the widow of [[Lord Blackblood]] and resided in the elaborate Montagenet Mansion of [[Ashtan]]. She was a renowned [[Necromancy|Necromancer]], and her Dorian-style mansion was staffed entirely by [[zombies]] dressed in servants' garb. She was one of the few who remember the days before Ashtan was a democracy, and many say that the arcane magics she and Lord Blackblood conjured up were instrumental in the fall of the royal family during the [[Anarchy Rebellions]]. | ||
Against her wishes, the Dowager Montagenet's son, [[Rudolpho Montagenet]], fled to Shallam long ago to marry [[Camilla Prietta]] in [[Shallam]]. The Montagenets seemed to have a long-standing rivalry with the [[Prietta]] family, evidenced by the state of the Prietta [[:Category:Families|family]] sepulchre within Linnaen Park. During the first appearance of the [[Jaguars crime wave]], the Dowager was [[hypnosis|hypnotised]] into creating [[gleam]] from the bones of [[orphans]] by a man known as [[Ysven]], who bore a striking resemblance to her son Rudolpho in his youth. | Against her wishes, the Dowager Montagenet's son, [[Rudolpho Montagenet]], fled to Shallam long ago to marry [[Camilla Prietta]] in [[Shallam]].

[[Category: | With the deposing of the pretender queen [[Sarranda]] and restoration of the ancient Ashtani throne at the end of the 6th century came the truth of the Montagenets' secret involvement in the downfall of Queen [[Pellucaria]], and the dowager's subsequent rule as a shadow queen over Ashtan in the centuries since. The leadership of Ashtan summoned the executioner and the death of the dowager was swift. As she died, a maelstrom of necromantic energy carried away her body and all of the many magical workings throughout the city which she had created, leaving it uncertain whether such a powerful necromancer could be killed so simply. | ||
