Princess Imogen

Imogen · the high elf queen · country boss

The high-elf princess who exterminated King Finian's half-elf children as his health failed.

As King Finian declined, Princess Imogen sought out and destroyed his half-elf children. Signet, Finian's daughter by the naiad heir, escaped the purge by fleeing to the Over City.

Imogen remains at the center of Signet's licensed Vengeance of the Daughter storyline. The high elves' castle is protected by an all-tree grove that reflects hostile magic, making a direct confrontation especially dangerous.
