The story of the Outlaw Empress continues to pit historians against one another. Many believe she is a myth, while others claim she is the only explanation for a bizarre civil war in the Ancient Empire starting approximately 450 A.R.
Some elements are consistent among the tales: she was a ruthless warrior of the desert tribes, uniting hundreds under her banner. Her combination of charisma and heresy drew the attention of the Empire, who reacted with outrage at her plans to conquer the throne.
All record of her disappears after this point, although one exiled scholar declares that she was assassinated by the House of Shadow. Remnants of her cult claim that she lived on in her dragon-bone armour, devouring souls to grow her strength and be reborn. Fanatics are prone to fantasy, of course. After so many centuries, we may never discover the truth.
