Jenefra is reputed to be the most
beautiful human woman ever born since the creation of the world. In several
poems which were written during this time she was named the "most
beautiful of the beautifuls" or the "rising of the shining sun". In 1655 b.S
Jenefra was wedded to the knave Wengerim as a reward for his slaying
of the adamant-dragon Seargon, which he was forced to do by her severe father in
order to prove his love. In 1650 b.S. the cataclysm known as the Dragonstorm
descended upon the hapless land and Wengerim was killed, leaving Jenefra as
young widow at the age of 20. As a consequence the Council
of the Ten Ruling Houses of Voldar voted
her de-facto sovereign of the Erpheronian Kingdom when Maengolth was murdered at
the hands of his own son, Caein, who was acting under a pact with the dragon
Ol'dém'bréy.
Caein was later himself betrayed and killed by the dragon - an action which
initiated the mentioned Dragonstorm.
The last surviving member of her family, Jenefra was not prevalently accepted as
the monarch among the people due to Caein's heinous actions. But because of her
immense courage and determination, Voldar managed to withstand the incessant
onslaught of the dragons for as long as it did until the arrival of Katya
Ileri Dain, into the besieged city. The common girl Katya later became Queen of the Erpheronians when Jenefra
abdicated in her favour and was known among her subjects and in the history
books as Katya the Just.
