Seiwe

Seiwe (སེན གཝོ སེཨིཝེ Sengwō Sēiwe, born 29 December 938 as Miw Āwciņ) is the reigning monarch of the Crescent Empire, the 52nd Crescent Empress of the Occidental naion. She ascended the throne in 989 after the death of her husband, Emperor Yewul (posthumously known as Tenggor).

Early life
Seiwe was born Miw Awcing (མིཝ ཨཽཊིཉ; Miw Āwciņ) into the affluent Miw family on 29 December 938 in the town of Shashia, in the Province of Truwong. Her parents were Miw Yuwl, a military general of noble descent, and Miw Siyeng (born Suyiw Siyeng), the daughter of a noble landlord from the Reshan Province. In 942 when Awcing was three years old, her father became the Deputy Governor of the Truwong Province, and they moved to the province's capital city of Iyang, where she would spend most of her childhood and teenage years. She was homeschooled by a series of wetnurses who took care of her in place of her sickly mother, who suffered from the jade disease.

In 952 Miw Yuwl becomes Governor of the Truwong Province and the family receives a congratulatory visit from Prince Wamgwu, a cousin and close friend of Crown Prince Teshung, who upon returning to the capital told the Prince of Bagwa about the young Awcing's beauty and charm, and mentions her as a potential future wife for the Crown Prince to Empress Qawng. In 953 Awcing is sent to the capital in order to be educated by Princess Imperial Yai, the Emperor's sister, upon the princess' invitation. Upon arriving to the royal court she became familiarized with the Crown Prince and his younger brother, Prince Sithai.

The Crown Prince proved to be sickly, suffering from the same disease as Awcing's mother. He would often convulse in court, much to the dishonour of the Emperor and his household. In November 954 Prince Teshung collapsed to never recover, and he finally died in August 955 after months of agony. Although the Imperial Family mourned for the traditional two-year period after the Prince's death, it was said neither the Emperor nor the Empress took their son's demise too badly. In fact, there were some who claimed they had seen the Emperor so happy after the funeral he would spontaneously burst into song, praising the day his second son would seat upon the Crescent Throne. This was one of the reasons cited by Prince Wamgwu to sever ties with the Imperial Family and abandon the royal life to settle in Ghur in subsequent years.

During the months following Prince Teshung's death, Awcing became increasingly close to Prince Sithai, now heir to the throne. The friendship was backed by the Empress, who found Awcing a befitting suitor to the Emperor-to-be. It was very much an open secret that the Emperor and Empress had already requested Sithai to propose to Awcing, but the increasing involvement of Du'yan in the Ghur–Tadhir War posponed several internal affairs of the Imperial family. Finally, in 957, for his 20th birthday Prince Sithai formally proposed to Awcing in court in a ceremony to which many noblemen and noblewomen of the Nine Provinces attended. The same year the war ended, and so many saw this as a good sign for the newly engaged couple. They married shortly after Awcing's 20th birthday in February 959.
