Biography
Judessa was born in Uthodurn as a member of the royal family, and eventually became the queen.

In 585 PD a cataclysm caused by an object from Aeor corrupted both the city of Molaesmyr and the surrounding forest, creating what is now known as the Savalirwood, and leading to the fall of that elven nation. King Imathan Talviel, the last king of Molaesmyr, went northward with some of the surviving elves, surviving the cold of the Flotket Alps, and eventually arriving to Uthodurn, whose inhabitants took pity on them and allowed them to stay.

Despite the initial kindness of the inhabitants of Uthodurn, as the years passed the tension with the elves increased, partly due to cultural differences, and also because of the impossibility of returning to Molaesmyr, since the origin and solution for its curse was unknown. Queen Judessa, worried about the division that was forming between her subjects and the refugees, decided to meet with King Imathan, offering him, to the surprise of many, to establish a diarchy in Uthodurn. Imathan was in favor of the proposal, but months would pass before making it official, in which Judessa and he deliberated on the matter, discussing how to help the coexistence of the subjects of both monarchs, and how to adapt the city for that purpose. Even after establishing this new system, the restructuring process would take many, many years, during which time Imathan and Judessa forged a deep friendship.

Queen Judessa died in 794 PD, being succeeded by her daughter, Simone Fruunast, who maintained a good relationship with the king of the elves, continuing her mother's policy.

Relationship with Imathan Talviel
Judessa treated Imathan Talviel with respect, honoring his position as leader of his people despite having lost his throne and kingdom. They collaborated to create a new dual society, and in the process they forged a strong friendship. Imathan still honours said friendship by taking care of Judessa's legacy and guiding her daughter when she needs it.
