Template:Queen-Mother Thian Tini'duran (Thian Ta'a Chume Tini'duran) (678–769) was one of the most popular monarchs throughout Hapan history, and third ruler from the Tini'duran dynasty. She had a lengthy reign during the Antiquity Era in which the Consortium experienced a cultural awakening, to which she contributed greatly. She is also credited with designing the feudal nobility system that the Hapes Consortium used to maintain a chain of command until 4000.
Early Life
Thian Tini'duran was the only daughter of Princess Zelin and Lord Dal'kuran, born on Hapes Prime in 678. Princess Zelin had abandoned all hope of ever sitting on the throne and decided to groom Thian to succeed her mother, Queen-Mother Tini'duran II, as monarch of the Hapes Consortium.
Tini'duran grew up in the Royal Hapan Palace in Ta'a Chume'Dan and received lessons in etiquette from her mother, as well as the Royal Handmaidens. She spent much time with her grandmother, the Queen-Mother, in preperation for her own reign. In her diaries, she noted how frustrated her grandmother seemed with various colony leaders who had often experienced difficulty getting their subordinates to carry out duties. She began outlining various methods of sorting this by designing different hierarchy structures she planned to bring in to effect once she assumed the throne.
