- "That is the secret to a peaceful court, Chancellor. Regularly having the High Lords for dinner."
- ―Dread Empress Sanguinia I, the Gourmet[1]
Sanguinia the First, also known as the Gourmet, was a former Dread Empress of Praes. She frequently engaged in cannibalism and she instituted death by hanging for eating subpar food.[2]After her death she returned either as undead or as some sort of wraith and became even more vicious in court. She reigned centuries before the events of the book.[3]
