The Banner of the Eternal Queen was woven by no lesser hand than that of Ariel, Mage Queen of Athel Loren. The magic of her touch lingers in every gossamer thread, protecting her kinsfolk from the onset of foul sorcery. It is said that those who fight beneath the Banner of the Eternal Queen can hear Ariel’s voice whispering in their minds, filling them with courage in the face of impossible odds.[1a]
