Hey Kendare! This is the second ? I'm asking, but I have another: does the Goddess have a name? Or if not, the old name of Fennbirn? I think there's one in the books. Also, cheat ?: Will you ever post that timeline of queens I keep seeing here (I read all answers lol)? And, not a question, but I'm a quadruplet, like Illiann and Caedan were. Idk thought it was cool. Lol. Not four girls, unfortunately, tho.

That's so cool that you are a quadruplet! If you were the last one born, you would be crowned! Of course if you weren't...
The goddess doesn't have a name, at least not one anyone knows. And the old name of Fennbirn has been lost to time. Also you asked in a previous question whether queens had natural lifespans, or if some lived longer according to the goddess' will:
And the answer is, sort of? None of them lived like, 200 years or anything but both Blue Queens, Caedan and Illiann, had very long reigns, and bore their triplets far later in life than non-queen women normally would. Illiann reigned for 56 years, and since she was crowned at birth "Illiann" would have been 56 years old when she had the triplets. Caedan, reigned for 49.
Also interesting to note is that both of those sets of triplets produced strong queens: Illiann's successor was Queen Shannon of the Storms, who reigned for 24 years, and Caedan's was the oracle Queen Lauriel, who reigned for 32.
Not too shabby.

Kendare Blake:
Hello! Can there ever be two Queens born with the same gift in a set of triplets? Could all three even be born with the same gift, such as if they were all poisoners? If so, what other families would house the sisters so they’d remain separate, or would they be raised together? Sorry for the essay! :)

Kendare Blake:
With the king consorts in TDC did they have any actual responsibilities/powers and what were they? (As in the oracle novella the king consort seemed to be more like an accessory) Also, as I’m assuming the king consorts home kingdoms were patriarchal unlike the island, why did so many of them go to be suitors when they were essentially giving up their chances to raise any kids/heirs to carry on their family name?
