Gundrada Joveta was a Bio-Morph intellectual and 6th empress of the Bio-Morph Empire. Succeeding Ordway Nodons after his assassination. Her reign, 1100 AD to 1820, lasted for 720 years, making her the longest-reigning empress in the empires history. She was succeeded by Anu Fera after a coup d'état removed her from power.
Joveta was born in South Asoya as the daughter of Bero Joveta, an intellectual and misean in a romantic relationship with a didoli who remains unknown. Raised in the far west for the duration of her childhood. Later learning under Sero Fera around 535 AD. She was, at first, an advocate of Feraism but distanced herself once the tide turned against it. Much like Anshan Cyrus, Joveta stayed in the intellectual circles of Mergen. Teaching morph and non-morphs.
In 1100 AD, Joveta became empress. Signing a temporary peace with the skeke. Ruling an empire enjoying it's territorial apex but suffering a damaged popularity from anoists and non-morph subjects both still recovering from the Imperial Clash that ended just a year earlier. With the discovery of the Cuman four decades in the agreed peace, the war turned in favor of the skeke under Tamvis III. Eager to take advantage of the morph consolidation of former HR-territory. The first few centuries of her reign were dominated by the cuman raids as they teared away the frontier.
