Elise Gathian-Tavird

Elise was the fourth child of Oriathon V of Haleglar and the younger sister of Tarogon, Elizabeth, and Maximian. As a daughter of the king, as soon as Elise turned sixteen the search began for someone to marry her off to. However, Elise refused to marry someone she did not love and resisted Oriathon's attempts to persuade her. At seventeen she met Percival Tavird, the butler of one of her suitors, and fell in love with him. Knowing Oriathon would never sanction a union with someone of Percival's social status, the two were forced to elope and marry without his approval, surviving off of his earnings and the money she had managed to acquire before leaving. She ended up in contact with her cousin Marderos Gathian and purchased a house from him in Kanor, one of the few estates on Eiphtor still in the hands of the Gathian Family.

Oriathon never did validate Elise's marriage and thus she was legally still Elise Gathian, despite using Elise Tavird as her legal name locally. It was only until 1877 when her marriage was officially recognized, by her brother, now King Tarogon I.
