Linja Ovan

Linja Ovan was the daughter of Armen Ovan and the second Ledar of Hemland, after her father's death. Under her reign, Hemland prospered but she was also the first Ledar who ever stepped down.

Childhood
Linja had a very luxurious childhood. When she was born her father was already leader of a united Hemland and the construction of The Eye was already happening. Her father thought her his democratic ideals to make sure she would carry on his legacy when he passed, as she did.

Reign
When her father died, there was confusion as to who should take the throne. Both her mother and grandmother (who was Fradig) soon supported Linja's rightful claim to the throne but Arnulf Authulsson, the other Fardig and Armen's first partner, declared his claim too. It was decided that a vote should be held. This lead to groups of people uniting under the first political parties of Hemland. Linja won the referendum and Arnulf was never heard of again.

As soon as she became Ledar, she started implementing her father's democratic ideals in Hemlad's government, disappointing many of her voters who voted for her out of conservative motives. Class leaders weren' t happy either, hence they had less power now. All these changes would become what is now called The Mangfald System.

Abdication
After a few years of succesful ruling, her grandmother and mother passed both in a short period of time, leading Linja to suffer from depression and to ultimately give up on the throne.

The position of Ledar was automatically passed on to her brother Tvan Ovan, who put the country in total chaos, leading to the Revolution of the People.
