- "I’ve found that the best way to win at shatranj is usually to turn into a giant snake and tear my opponent’s throat out."
- ―Dread Empress Vindictive III[1]
Vindictive the Third was a former Dread Empress of Praes. Her face is on imperial coinage, particularly the silver denarii.[2] The coins are described as old but seemingly still in use, implying she reigned relatively recently in imperial history, perhaps around 1150 - 1250 AD.
