Carttuen silver-hair (glossary)
Carttuen Silver-Hair was one of the legendary Twelve Regents to seize power after the Wizard-King Kathanouxa's demise, who was famed in her time as both one of the most beautiful women to have ever lived and also as an exceptionally powerful caster. She was one of the major contenders in the post-Kathanouxaic civil wars that engulfed his former realm, but would ultimately be captured by the cruel Avolur 'the Wolfling', who had her deprived of her sight — and by extension a significant part of her Gift.
Carttuen then disappears from historical records for the next half-millennium, reemerging towards the end of the 6th century, her power immensely grown. Thereafter, she would begin her preparations for the War of the Black Yew, and her ultimate goal of enacting the I-Amanthil.
