The Lady Isabella Simrani-Kalirion.

The Lady Isabella Simrani-Kalirion (born 1603 in Ribat al-Eluinshahr), also known as Isabella bint Dâniyal Umra Suleiman Simrâni-Kâlirion ibn al-Majeed bin Sathrati, is a member of the Imperial Bloodline of Ayreon-Kalirion and the House of the same name. She also is the Patroness of Kalir.

Parents

Isabella Simrani-Kalirion was born from the marriage between Daniel Simrani-Kalirion and Esmeralda Erinamor.

1st Exile

After the fall of the Coordinated State in 1612, the Simrani sisters were placed under the care of separate warders loyal to the old regime who took them into quiet exile in Goldshire. Isabella, at the age of nine, was left in the care of Dr Ernst Cryptsinger, the former Associate Instructing Justice for Elwynn Proper.

2nd Exile

The House of Ayreon-Kalirion was gravely affected by the scandal of Miranda Simrani-Kalirion being seen to marry beneath herself to Frederik Anders, the UDF Brigadgeneral from the Western Marches, inspired her sister, Isabella, to a cold fury. This, combined with a desire to escape from a marriage match with the House of Ettlingar Freyu, inspired her to take a dozen of the family's retainers, a portion of the Simrani treasure-horde and a liberated main battle tank and to set off to Fiorecittá in pursuit of vengeance. The departure took place on Izillare 14 Vixaslaa, 1632, the date of a left behind for the attention of her step-sister Noor expressing, amongst other things, disapproval of conjugal relations with the Elfinshi.

Brushing past a weakly manned Tellian border post, Isabella swept into Fiorecittá and took the family of the city Burgomaster hostage demanding in return for their release the handing over of Frederik Anders and his family. After a tense stand-off, the Tellian state capitulated agreed to the hostage exchange which took place at an abandoned Ashkenatzim shtetl in the Green. After leaving her sister and nephews in the care of her faithful retainers, Isabella - with a kitchen knife in one hand - dragged Anders into a ruined barn. He was never seen alive again. The so-called Bloody Barn has become a scene of pilgrimage amongst the more morbidly inclined partisans of the House of Kalirion.

The severed head of Frederik Anders was sent to Noor as a gift and a symbol of reconciliation and the restoration of family honour on Izillare 20 Qinamu, 1632.

Isabella then took it upon herself to raise Miranda's children in the hope that they would become faithful servants of the family.

In 1634 the Patroness of Kalir reached an accommodation with erstwhile Steward of Elwynn and paramilitary warlord Tokaray al-Osman whereby she acquired provisions, a cache of weapons, laboratory equipment, forty Land Cruisers and pick-up trucks, and an entourage of one-hundred and fifty paramilitaries from the Dark Orchid Society. The security detail was intended to provide protection against brigands such as Sighvat the Yardistani who are active in the Vale of Angularis.

The price for this munificence was her younger sister, Miranda, who was given in marriage to Tokaray.

Isabella is reported to have the ashes of her father along with certain other genetic samples, into exile with her.

The Kalirion Purity Project

In late summer of 1634, Isabella and her companions took over an ethnic Ashkenatzim village in the western districts of the Vale known as šiqqǔṣ Mišômēm, and having cleansed the populace established a headquarters and base for the mobile laboratory. In Nomeziooqu 1635, Isabella's purpose for doing so became apparent when she impregnated herself with a fertilised embryo made of genetic material cloned from her father.

Rehabilitation

  • Countess of Amity, Miriroth & So-Sara

Return to Amity

Following the defeat of the Dark Orchid Society in the Angularis War, Isabella cemented the marriage alliance between the House of Simrani-Kalirion and the House of Osman by marrying Tokaray al-Osman and pledging her son Daniyel, himself a clone of her late father Daniel Simrani-Kalirion in betrothal to Tokaray's and Miranda's daughter Azardokht al-Osman.

This alliance receiving the blessing of the Arandur, Thorgils Tarjeisson, who had been their warden for the duration of the hostilities, the Simrani Sisters and the Osmanids were permitted to return to Amity. On their return Isabella discovered that her half-sister, Queen Noor, had granted certain rights and privileges to the Iron Company providing them with certain monopolies and a role in the government of the city of Erudition. It might be said that Isabella, now styling herself as Emira of the Isles, was not best pleased with this latest development. It certainly added to her overall doubts about her sister's fitness to rule Goldshire, particularly in light of recent events.

Titles

With the death of her father from hemlock poisoning Isabella inherited the title of Patroness of Kalir and has been acknowledged as Elder of the Simrani branch of the House of Ayreon-Kalirion.

Isabella is also at present the named heir to the Emirate of Sathrati and legal guardian of Noor Bint Simrani-Kalirion's children in the event of her death.

Noor's husband is believed to be pressing for the terms of the will to be revised in his favour.
