Orod

Orod Veitan, nicknamed 'The Fair', was the first Empress and seventh monarch of Ivez Empire, taking over from her father Ivez III. She was born in 1916 to Ivez. She became heir apparent after reaching the age of 18 in 1934. She became Empress in 1936, after her father's abdication. During her time, public outcry from the end of the Imperial War and opposition to Imperialism prompted several political reforms. In 1955, a radical Constitutional reform saw far-going changes to Regional and Municipal government, changing the Empire into a Federal state. Orod was an astute lover of art, funding multiple art projects that formed the modern art scene in the Empire. She was also the first monarch to be seen on television, when in 1948, she opened the first broadcast of the IBS. Orod also regulated Ivez Day into a formal procession, and as an advocate of international cooperation. In 1961, she was in a car accident that broke both legs. She had to recover for more than three months. Her son Delan III took charge of her duties. In 1962, she abdicated in favour of him. She had ruled the Empire for 36 years. She is still alive as of 1992, and has dealt with the demise of her eldest son and the coronation of her younger son Ivez IV. She continues to be a supporter of art and culture.

Personality
Orod also went to Ivez University, and studied Art there. When she became Empress in 1936, she was in her third year. She is the only monarch to complete a study during her reign so far. She supported the arts throughout her reign, and funded many galleries and collections. She also painted herself, with her famous work 'Lighthouse of Bliskot' having sold to charity for 3 million Imperial Gran. On a personal level, Orod was known as a kind and charismatic empress, standing closer to the people than her predecessors. The Procession on Ivez Day, where any citizen could visit the Emperor's Palace, is a prime example of this. She was also supportive of the federalism of the Empire, opposing her predecessors' Imperialism, and believed that the Throne should be a force of union. She voiced this during her television speeches as well. After her abdication, she moved to Naurod Palace like her father, and still dwells their, collecting art and having notables for visit.

Family
Orod was born to Ivez III and Relana Pateran, Princess of Dovorat. She was born in 1916. Her sister Leida followed in 1924. She married Erem Vakat, a parliament member of the RP, in 1940. This had some effects when a few riots broke out under Royalists who denounced Orod from marrying a non-noble and a Senator. Erem resigned from politics in 1941. Her heir and eldest son Delan III was born in 1943. Her younger son and current Emperor Ivez IV was born in 1948.
