 * 1187 AE:  Imriel assumes the throne of Terre D’Ange.  Iphigenie named Queen.  The public refers to her as “Iphigenie the accepting” as she has very accepting views toward Tsingato and foreigners – viewed as somewhat odd considering her status as a scion of Kushiel.  Some say it as a compliment, others as an insult.
