Trivia
- In her third reign as queen, Gilyan Alienora of Clonmacnoise told the populace that for her first two reigns, she did not name any White Scarves as she was not certain that she truly understood the heart of that Order. However, after much discussion with the Queen's Men, she had come to that important realization, and named three White Scarves, one of whom was Mathias.
