Nari Daya (concept)
The legendary warrior-queen of the Dayarka, Daya was the eldest daughter of Naklan the Golden, and served as one of his chief advisors during his conquest of Dahangon. An ambitious and capable warrior, the princess contested her younger brother’s ascension to the throne after the death of Naklan, naming herself Nari, or Queen, and plunging Dahangon into civil war.
Despite her prowess, however, Nari Daya was unable to take the throne, as most of her father’s vassals rallied against her for breaking tradition. Wary of losing to a battle of attrition, she instead carved up a realm in the Kharadan mountains, where she established a matriarchal society alongside her most fervent followers.
