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.
Reign
Tini'duran assumed the throne on May 29 700, seven days after the death of her grandmother Queen-Mother Tini'duran. During the first two years of her reign, she visited many of the Hapes Consortium's worlds. She met with colony governors and community leaders, taking notes of conditions on the various planets. Upon her return to Hapes Prime, she established the Royal Architectural Guild. The guild was tasked with designing destinct Hapan architecture to be used throughout the Hapes Consortium, with minor modifications depending on the type of planet and conditions there.
In 702, she announced the establishment of the nobility and had the titles, with privileges and duties, added to the Laws of the Hapes Consortium.
