Emmelisa Perseia

Queen Emmelisa Perseia of the Arac Reach - previously, Princess Emmelisa Perseia - is the current Queen of the Plane of Water, and an NPC in the Fallen Kingdom campaign. She is a half-sister of Chrysalia, and succeeds her late mother, Queen Thalassia-Marisha. Emmelisa was the second-favorite daughter of her Queen Mother, having been known to have a close relationship with her - she was second only to Duchesne Coralisa in her mother's eyes, and in the line of succession during her mother's rule. Emmelisa is famously a beautiful and powerful paladin of Umberlee, though she was known to be jealous of her sister Coralisa.

During the Elemental Conclave, she was the subject of a plot between Coralisa and Baroness Braymarona which was intended to help Coralisa seize power. Braymarona captured her and forcibly implanted a void creature into her brain, which would cause short periods of time where Emmelisa would lose control and act violently. This encompassed acts ranging from turning into a large void monster (see: Megalisa) and killing her siblings, to planning and enacting an assassination on her mother during the masquerade ball which she hosted. Coralisa intended for Emmelisa to kill her mother and tarnish her reputation, such that she could blamelessly take the throne and vote in her mother's stead. This plan was interrupted by the player characters, who convinced Braymarona to remove the void creature from Emmelisa's brain and whose actions led to the exposition of Coralisa's true intentions. With Queen Thalassia-Marisha dead at the hands of Coralisa, and with Coralisa's claim to the throne rendered null and void, Emmelisa chose to assume rule over the Plane of Water.

Queen Emmelisa intends to vote to close the gate to Elderain, and is such an ally to the player characters. Indeed, Anouk acts as one of Emmelisa's retainers for the duration of the Conclave. However, following her ordeal with the void creature, she has been left physically unwell and needing special care.
