Agwene ni Gwydion is the second daughter of Corrina ni Gwydion and Immanuel ap Gwydion. For most of her life, she was not viewed as in line for a crown. However, when her older sister, Aiwyn, yielded the throne of the Resurgent Dream to claim the throne of Akaton by marriage, Agwene was granted the high throne of the Resurgent Dream.
In defiance of what was until recently a strong social taboo, Agwene is an open homosexual though political pressures made it necessary for her to agree to take a husband, High King Connor ap Daireann. While this marriage, to an Unseelie lord, and her sexual preference created a good deal of dissent and disagreement at the tradition minded high court, none of her nobles openly resisted.
Agwene's most notable political initiative was an attempt to bring a deeper peace and friendship between races. Agwene did much to bring about genuine equality between Fae and Humans in the Resurgent Dream. This includes the Edict of Racial Equality which makes all persons equal before the law regardless of race and consequently the Resurgent Dream has gone from having a racial cast system to being an active champion of racial equality in the world. Agwene's reign saw the election of the first human prime minister in the last five centuries of Danaan history, Vincenzo Lacau.
Agwene's reign also saw the opening of relations with many nations and the high queen has become something of a diplomat, making frequent personal state visits. The most notable of these state visits have been to Menelmacar, Pantocratoria, and Lavenrunz.
Agwene is the sister of Empress Aiwyn ni Gwydion and Grand Duchess Vicotira ni Gwydion. She is the niece of King Danwyth ap Gwydion (deceased), Grand Duchess Nianki ni Gwydion, and Grand Duchess Beatrice ni Gwydion. Agwene is fluent in English, Italian, Greek, Latin, Solimond, Paroseme, Mannikin, Glome, Quenya, Welsh and Ondine.
Agwene's reign came to a sudden end because of the Shattering, after which she joined the other Fae in the Dreaming.
