Ferantia was a Jehesic woman during the Dark Age of Dominaria.[1]
Description
Ferantia was a sorceress, able to cast a ship without sails at full speed through a storm as if there were no resistance in the water. She was also a vain woman, creating a stunningly beautiful image of herself that was part illusory. When she strained her magical powers, this illusion started to flicker out, revealing a less flattering image behind it to those paying attention. [1]
History
Originally a mere fishmonger, Ferantia was raised to nobility, receiving the role of second-in-command of the island nation when Lady Edara discovered her talents. Eventually, Ferantia sought to claim the throne for herself by arranging for Edara's marriage to Lord Peemel of Iwset, but this plan failed when Edara vehemently refused to marry her rival. Ferantia was eventually forced to use compulsion on Edara to force her to obey her commands, hoping she could get Edara to wave the flag of conceit atop the walls of Jehesic. Instead, Apepei, Edara's secret lover, killed Ferantia by stabbing her with her sword. Upon death, her beatification spell faded, revealing her true, less flattering appearance in death. Edara and Apepei would later send out information that colored Ferantia as a hero who sacrificed her life to stop an assassin from killing Edara, to paint a less rebellious picture of the happening.[1]
