History
Eleonore was the daughter and youngest child of Garjund Brandt, a man with a controversial legacy. Some say his claim to the Riverlands was Legitimate, others call him a usurper. Being born into a family of fighters, combat and physical prowess were prioritized by her at an early age. Seeing as her older brother was the heir apparent to her father, she was married off at a very young age to a lowborn retainer of her father named Gerald. Though the marriage was mostly a duty, rather than pleasure to Eleonore, she, at the young age of 16, gave birth to children in the form of her twins: Anja Brant and Leon Brandt. Soon after, her husband died of sickness, leaving her to raise her children on her own. As her brother fell in personal combat around the same time, leaving his daughter Henriette behind, it became clear to Eleonore that she will one day lead the Riverlands upon her father's passing. That day eventually did come, leaving the Riverlands in a peculiar political position. Publicly, Eleonore's main goal is to secure alliances and assert her position as Lady Paramount.
