Saga(born 15 March, 1978) is the Duchess of Tynam and Storlund. She has held this title since 17 June, 2010. The eldest child of Duke Ögge of Tynam and Gazny Nurai, Saga also took control of the Tynam Egendom and most of the House of Tynam's estimated 20 billion SHD net worth.
Childhood
Saga was born on 15 March, 1978 at Symningborg Castle near Tynam. Her father was Duke Ögge of Tynam. Her mother was Gazny Nurai, the only daughter of Gazny Chīrén, then the Governor of Gazny Khot.
Saga had one twin brother, Turlan. In accordance with typical local naming conventions, Saga and Turlan were given separate Tynami names - Turyana and Siban respectively. As a result of their parents' often tumultuous marriage, both Saga and her brother spent much of their childhoods with their mother's family in Gazny Khot.
Education
Saga was initially raised in Gazny Khot before returning to Leidenstad and enrolled in the Eglistanes Secondary School. She later declined to apply for a deferral or exemption from Cryria's National Service System and elected to complete the full two years of mandatory service with the Regiment of Coastal Jaegers, apparently out of a desire to not return home to Symningborg where circumstances remained tense. At this time, it had been assumed that her brother, Turlan, was the favored successor to the Duchy. However, an apparent tryst and later marriage between Turlan and Alessia Ciresi in Charlottesborg generated the disapproval of both the Duke and the Duchess and created new rifts within the household.
Saga went on to attend the Leidenstad Military Academy and graduated in 2002.
Foreign Legion(2002-2010)
Saga was commissioned as an officer in the Cryrian Foreign Legion just prior to the beginning of the Volscine Civil War and the Cryrian Millennium Crisis. The outbreak of the Charlottesborg Mutiny and the storming of the Cryrian consulate there resulted in Turlan's death. This left Saga as the sole viable successor to the Duchy of Tynam, in part due to the difficult of imparting the Egendom's assets to non-immediate family members under Cryrian tax regulations. Saga herself was soon afterwards among the Foreign Legion units deployed to evacuate Cryrian citizens from Charlottesborg International Airport.
She briefly entered the public spotlight when the Ministry of Defense published imagery of her drinking with an unidentified Charlottesborger officer at a partially destroyed Royal Rodoka coffee shop. The recordings were utilized to promote the legitimacy of the operation and to maintain the image of Cryrian-Charlottesborger cooperation at a time when relations between the two parties were coming under severe strain. Saga was also reportedly present at a physical altercation that broke out between Cryrian and Charlottesborger commanders over the treatment of captured rebels.
CDF records indicate that Saga remained in the Foreign Legion for several years afterwards and was among those deployed during the Ellesborg Emergency as well as other Cryrian operations during the Millennium Crisis. She later ended her commission in 2010 as the executive officer for the Legion 1st Infantry Battalion.
Duchess of Tynam(2010-Present)
On 17 June, 2010, Duke Ögge of Tynam passed away from lung cancer. A brief legal battle over the inheritance of the Egendom ensued between Saga and her cousin, Gjur Tynam. The matter was ultimately settled in Saga's favor.
Saga also inherited the House of Tynam's seat on the Första Kammaren, which marked the beginning of her involvement with Cryrian politics. The Duchess was one of the key organizers of the Remembrance of Sixty-Four, a political committee whose name referred to the sixty-four Cryrian citizens killed at the Charlottesborg Consulate. The group harshly criticized the failure of the Schaumann Government to evacuate Cryrian civilians prior to Charlottesborg's exit ban alongside the general paralysis displayed during the early days of the crisis. Remembrance was ultimately a major contributing factor in both destroying the Green Party's bid to regain power and in removing Schaumann himself as leader of the party.
