There is a group of elves that council her on important decisions concerning the realm: the current members are outlined in the Last Mythal novels written by Mr. Baker; the first two are currently in print.

Berzerker_prime 09-15-05, 11:14 PM	As for the offspring of the royal family, most of them are dead/disappeared/or elsewhere. Or, not officially recognized because they're part Human... To which I say "go Prince Lamruil! Go! Who needs Evermeet, anyway?" Berz.

Lamruil (em Ftr) The youngest child, and now the bearer of his fathers moonblade. Betrothed to Maura (hf Rgr), the bastard daughter of Laurel Silverhand Arunsun Ilyarana (ef Clc of Anggaradh) In defense of Evenrmeet in the year 1371, Ilyarana becomes an avatar of Anggaradh to battle the Ithyak Ortheel( Elf-eater) Zhoron and Xharlion (twin males) The death of one of the twins was witnessed by Ilyarana on the Moonshae Isles during their battle with the Ithyak Ortheel Chozzanster (em Wiz) Passed to Arvandor voluntarily at an early age. Shandalar (ef Ftr) Was slain accidentily by a fellow student during her training as a bladesinger. Tira'llara and Hhora (ef Clc Hanali Celanil) Lazziar and Gemstarzah (twin ef Ftr) Ship bearing them sank during a diplomatic mission. Amnestria (ef Ftr) Betrothed to Elaith Craulnober, and impregnated by him. She entrusted the infant son to a human. While attempting to bring Elaith back she met and fell in love with Bran Skorslun, and later bore him a daughter, Arilyn Moonblade. Zandro and Finufaranell (em Wiz) For more information on the isle of Evermeet, I suggest reading the novel by the same name. Most of the above information was derived from this novel.
Old Sage 09-16-05, 09:22 AM	Here is Elaine Cunningham's thoughts on the subject of the offspring of King Zaor and Queen Amnestria:- "One of Evermeet's mysteries and tragedies concerns the Lost Children. Many of the offspring of Zaor and Amnestria have died, but the fate of several of the princes and princesses has not yet be determined. The royal issue, and their current state, follows in order of birth. Ilyrana, the first born, a priestess. Her body currently lies in deep stasis in Moonflower Castle, and her spirit abides in Arvandor. During battle she acted in some mysterious, hard-to-define way as an avatar focus for the goddesses she served, and the result was a titanic battle maid comprising her spirt as well as power borrowed from the elven gods. It is unlikely, but not absolutely impossible, that she will return to Evermeet. Even before her sacrifice, she was not at all eager to take the throne. Xharlion and Zhoron, twin sons. They are mirror images of each other and their father, the king. The rowdy, robust elven lads seemed destined for the warrior's life. The queen sent them to the Moonshaes for fosterage among the elves of Sonoria. One of them - it is not certain which one - was slain when the Ityak-Ortheel attacked the Moonshaes. It is not known if the other survived, or if so, what became of him. Chozzaster, the next-born son, became a High Mage. He passed on to Arvandor at a young age, not because of illness or accident, but simply because the call of the ultimate elven homeland was too strong for him to resist. Shandalar became a bladesinger, trained in the art by bladesinger Shanyrria Alenuath. She was accidentally killed by a fellow student, a spell-singer, during a training drill. It is not certain whether Shanyrria, her mentor, survived. If so, the bladesinger will be eager to avenge the death of this princess, her student and namesake. Tira-allara and Hhora were female twins, both devoted to the service of Hanali Celanil. Both were excessively devoted to the cult of love, and each in her own way met the fate of those who love not well, but immoderately and unwisely. Tira-alara became involved with a rogue who used her wealth and position, then broke her heart. Elves are capable of wishing themselves dead, but few take this grim option. The princess was an exception, and she literally died of grief. Hhora left Evermeet determined to wed a commoner she met and loved during a seasonal festival. Perhaps she found her love, perhaps not. She disappeared into the High Forest, and no one has been able to learn what became of her. Another set of female twins, Lazziar and Genstarzah, both trained as warriors and served as diplomats to mainland elves. They were lost at sea, and their fate has never been established. Amnestria was a battle mage, and King Zaor's favorite child. She was betrothed to Elaith Craulnober, a distant kinsman who served as captain of the King's Guard. When Elaith broke with her over a personal disgrace, she followed him to the mainland - and fell in love with his human friend, Bran Skorlsun. In secret she gave birth to Elaith's son, and hid the child in secret fosterage. She later bore a girlchild to Bran, but she was slain before she could train her daughter in the secrets of the moonblade she would inherit. This half-elven child, Arilyn, was able to claim the sword - the first person of mixed blood ever to do so. Lamruil, the youngest son, has been an adventurer for years. He was not widely liked by the nobles of Evermeet, considered too young and frivolous to rule, but he held the throne briefly following the sacrifice of Amlaruil. He happily abdicated the throne back to his mother, and undertook the task of planting the Tree of Souls on the mainland. He has chosen a hidden valley far to the north, a place surrounded by incredibly inhospitable terrain. He will be kept very busy recruiting a following, subduing the land, and establishing the colony. His consort, a mostly-human woman named Maura, will probably prove to be equal parts help and hindrance. It is unlikely that their children will succeed him as ruler. Maura is a teenager, but she is also impulsive, a warrior, and a human. None of those things lend to an impressive life expectancy. It is likely that the elves tolerate her, believing that they can put up with her for a human's relatively short span. Lamruil will undoubtedly be urged to take an elven consort and produce suitable heirs - either before or after Maura's death. Or perhaps another form of government, one not based on monarchy or hereditary nobility, will evolve. One thing is certain: Lamruil will return to Evermeet to rule only if he feels the island has no other acceptible options. He would gladly throw his support behind a likely candidate for the throne. Like most of Toril's elves, however, he hopes that the end of Queen Amlaruil's reign will be very long in coming."
