The planet of Gaea was never the most developed one.
Previously but one of the latest habitable planets seized by humanity for colonization, it was settled by peasants, its cities built by architects who appreciated medieval castles. And so, when contact between humanity (of all varieties) and other Terran-born races of all planets and constellations disappeared, Gaea was left to fend for itself. With the lush forests and fields provided by Gaea, the settlers of the planet survived, but fell into a medieval state of existence.
While most of the settlers were baseline humans, some were posthumans with rather... specific features. Some called them draconians. Some called them demons.
Moryne Archimedine Cerzei was one of them.
Moryne VI (18 July 2837 – 4 September 2939) was the queen of the Demon Kingdom of Diagonia, and perhaps one of its most famous monarchs. The only child of Morezia XI and Archimare III, the so-called "Great Teachers", she was among some of the most educated people on the planet at the time. After the death of Morezia XI during a trance, young Moryne became the queen of Diagonia, bearing the burden of rule while being surrounded by hostile humans. As a result, she gained the title "Demon Princess", which was popularized during her reign.
Nonetheless, under Moryne, Diagonia thrived. Moryne brought reform and liberalization of some of the touchier subjects of the Daigonian Law, such as the Law for Vengeance, prevented the "fanatics, abusers and grafters" from ever taking hold in schools and courtrooms and dedicated the people of Diagonia to education. Moryne VI, notably enough, was a great diplomat, and she was able, for the first time in decades, to normalize relations between the demons and the humans of Gaea. She was also able to deal with the issues regarding the historically anti-demonic Knights of the Order of De Buy. Of course, Moryne was also spiteful and a polygamist, surrounding herself with various partners.
On 4 September 2939, the youthful Demon Princess passed away while visiting the city of De Buy, allegedly because of an illness. Moryne VI would be succeeded by her equally popular daughter, Attanacia Mertida Cirzei. She was the third eldest of Moryne's children, and took the throne due to Prince Daimonius's death and Prince Sateriasis (future Sateriasis IV)'s self-imposed exile.
