Ryarna of Exponent (Ryarna Afiloi Palægos-Fenyzómar; 30 September 1741 - 2 April 1815) was the wife of Emperor Maximinius V and thus was Empress of Exponent. During her life she preferred to keep her Trellinese title of Duchess of Tkena, and is most commonly identified as such in Trellinese histories and Blackhelm Confederate histories since the dissolution of the Exponential Empire.

She was the third daughter of Elcmar IV, King of Trellin and the second of Tarien, Queen of Velar. Her eldest son became Emperor Titus VI of Exponent.

Early life

At 14, Ryarna travelled to Valle Crucis with her family to attend a massive fleet review as guests of the Emperor of Exponent. There she met Maximinius IV, three years her senior. The pair soon engaged in a year-long courtship by correspondence before finally marrying.

Legacy

Empress Ryarna Theatre in Bara ti'Emla is named for Ryarna. It was built in the 1880s under Exponential sponsorship but was seized by the Emlan government in 1913 shortly after Trellin entered isolation.
