Ardia Vanhért

"'She wants to see me suffer for the things I am that she is not. Youth and beauty found me instead of her, and I shall not die for it! '                                    - Ardia Vanhért to Sam Rêfellgen"

Ardia Vanhért was the Queen of Numndas, married to Stanwick and bore his only son. During her reign she had a secret affair with a baker's son, Sam Rêfellgen, which complicated things at court. She was described by many as a fool, in particular by Rhaenna Gryêlian.

She was ignorant to the consequences of her decisions, and also resentful to her disinterested husband. However she did truly love her son, and this was the one thing in her life that made her truly happy. Her ultimate demise was caused by Rhaenna, who had her poisoned, because she was the wife of a rebel king and because of personal reasoning.
