Arshtat was the reigning Queen of [[Queendom of Falena|Falena]] at the outset of the [[Sun Rune War]]. She was the wife of [[Ferid]] and the strict, but gentle, mother of both [[Lymsleia Falenas|Lymsleia]] and the [[Hero (Suikoden V)|Prince of Falena]]. She had met Ferid in a visit to the [[Island Nations]] as a youth and the two had quickly fallen in love. In the year 433, Arshtat would sponsor him in the [[Sacred Games]] and his victory in this tournament would allow him to ask for her hand in marriage. | Arshtat was the reigning Queen of [[Queendom of Falena|Falena]] at the outset of the [[Sun Rune War]].

The following year, with the aid of strategist [[Lucretia Merces]], she would fight off an invasion from the [[New Armes Kingdom]] and would later institute a ban on cruelty to slaves. These, and other acts, would lead to Arshtat being lauded as a virtuous, benevolent ruler. | ||
This would all change in 447 when, during the Lordlake riots, Arshtat would become the bearer of the [[Sun Rune]] on Lucretia's advice, to prevent it from being stolen by the [[House of Godwin]]. Although this would indeed protect the rune from being stolen, it would also make Queen Arshtat increasingly unstable in her rule. She ended the Lordlake riots by using the Sun Rune to dry up the waters in the region, forcing them to live in desperation and squalor. Since that time, bursts of anger were not uncommon. | This would all change in 447 when, during the Lordlake riots, Arshtat would become the bearer of the [[Sun Rune]] on Lucretia's advice, to prevent it from being stolen by the [[House of Godwin]].
