There was another realm. We know less of that one, but we think it was the birthplace of the shaman-poet, Shakspere. That land was ruled by an incorruptible Queen Regnant, Queen Ilsapesi - we marvel at the length of her reign, for it lasted 400 years! We think this Faerie Queene must have been a clone, or a series of cloned beings, perhaps Possessed by the technosorcery of reincarnation or synthetic consciousness in that elder age; for the clone Queen was reincarnated again and again, as Ilsapesi I, Ilsapesi II, Victorianne, a peasant weaver or thatcher girl named Margarethe, and also later as the mysterious Ilsapesi Truss II, though many historians think the last was perhaps a corrupted aberration, indicative of the weakening of blood across generations: a usurper or impostor, akin to the tale of Gaumata and Smerdis of old.
