> *Pulled from* [[3-heroes-(Bannerlord)]] — “Ira is the daughter of Rhagaea, one of the three claimants to the imperial throne, and the slain emperor Arenicos. At one point, her father appeared to be grooming her as his heir. But though she took well to military campaigns, she also displayed a wild side unbecoming of imperial dignity, carousing in taverns with other young aristocrats and even appearing in the arenas as a gladiator. She is Rhagaea's heir-apparent, but her mother makes no secret of wishing to find her a responsible consort to ensure the continuity of the dynasty.”

> *Pulled from* [[3-world_lore_strings-(Bannerlord)]] — “Rhagaea knows she would be a good Empress, and that the time is right to establish that a woman can inherit. Believe me, I am the last to dispute that only men can sit on the throne. But if Rhagaea is empress, then it is only one easy step for her mad daughter Ira to inherit it.” — “I am the daughter of the Emperor Arenicos. If I were his son, all the Senate would be tripping over their beards and walking sticks to swear allegiance to me. One day I will stand before them as empress, and they will give me their oaths." — “Men should be ruled by something greater than themselves. We cannot have a god come down and rule us, so let us have a man or woman that we treat like a god. Call him a king or an emperor, I don't care. Let her be an empress or a queen. Just stop this filthy squabbling between faction and faction and let one person rule.”

> *Pulled from* [[Blog_42_Empire_Pt.1]] — “There was one shadow hanging over the reign of Arenicos - his reluctance to choose an heir. It was though he was casting around for someone who grasped his vision, but never found one. Traditionally, emperors looked in three places for their successors: their family, the elders of the Senate, and the upper ranks of the army. His one child, Ira, was a daughter. There had been ruling empresses of Calradia in the past, but Ira had a wild and irreverent streak. Her right to rule was championed by her mother, Rhagaea, Arenicos's foreign-born wife. “It is good for the children of emperor's to succeed their fathers,” her partisans said. “If we unite in loyalty to the imperial family, the civil wars will stop.”
