Editing Arminia (section)

==Early Life==

Arminia was born in the year 154 to Queen Sayphay. Her father was a royal consort, officially anonymous and with no legal claim to her, and he left before Arminia was born. Her mother did her best to juggle her responsibilities as monarch with those of a mother, but knew she had to place the nation first in most respects, so Arminia grew up raised by her nurses and tutors as much as her mother. Surrounded from birth by the highest level of Astaria's politics, Arminia was deliberately taught a deep respect for her subjects and title. Due to their similar lots in life, and Varangia's alliance with Astaria, Arminia's closest friend, despite the long distance and rare meetings, was then-Princess Jannel of Varangia. The two met whenever the affairs of statecraft allowed, and corresponded regularly.
