Mistelle Gathian

Mistelle Gathian was the wife of King Oriathon V of Haleglar.

She was born in Njirrin in 1805. Her grandfather was the future Governor Arenedon of Svinraa. She was married to First Heir Oriathon Gathian in 1828. The next year their first son, future king Tarogon I, was born. That was later followed by two more children, Elizabeth and Maximian, which rounded out the happy family. Then, in 1838, Oriathon became king and things changed. He became more distant and Mistelle found her primary duty to him was to provide more heirs. Over the next seventeen years Mistelle had eleven children. Meanwhile, she suffered several heartbreaks as her older children came to adulthood; Elizabeth was thought to have died out at sea at sixteen, Maximian became estranged from Oriathon, as did Elise a few years later.

In 1855 Mistelle hit menopause and could no longer provide heirs to her husband. She was sent to live in the royal estate at Abaranda with all her children younger than thirteen and was separated from her husband and older children. She never saw her son Terevin again. In 1859 her son Goverin, just turned sixteen, gained ownership of the estate from Oriathon and moved back there to stay with Mistelle. He remained with her until her death in 1877, by which time all her other children had moved away. She outlived Oriathon by one year.
