Zan Tal'Dorei

Zan Tal'Dorei was a female human rebel leader who fought the Kingdom of Drassig in the Scattered War, and soon afterward became the first Sovereign of the Tal'Dorei bloodline. Zan Tal'Dorei has not been mentioned in either campaign thus far.

Biography
Zan gained a reputation in Syngorn during the Scattered War as a gifted warrior and leader of the scattered rebels. After Trist Drassig's defeat at the Battle of the Umbra Hills, various leaders of the Verdant Expanse assembled a council. However, the people, being used to a monarchy, requested there be a single ruler. The council nominated Zan, who accepted. However, she asked that she be addressed as Sovereign if a title was necessary, rather than "King" or "Queen".

As sovereign, Zan expanded the council to include both academic and military experts, and prioritized having a diverse range of viewpoints within her government. She also expanded the city of Emon during her reign.
