Maeve

A Valg queen who fled her own realm through a Wyrdgate and, hiding her true form in a Fae body, convinced the world she was a third Fae sister-queen. From Doranelle she ruled by blood oath and manipulation, seeking the Wyrdkeys through Aelin. She imprisoned and tortured her niece, sought an alliance with the enemy at Morath, and was killed by Aelin at the Battle of Orynth.

1. Maeve slips out of the Valg realm through a Wyrdgate into the Dagul Fells, and leaves her Stygian spiders to guard the vanished gate. source
2. In Wendlyn she binds her essence into a Fae body and rewrites the minds of the sister-queens Mab and Mora and everyone else so that she is remembered as their sister. source
3. The three Valg Kings follow her with Wyrdkeys; she steals the keys and banishes Orcus and Mantyx until Brannon Galathynius suspects her and takes them. source
4. Maeve kills Athril, who has hidden Silba's ring of protection in the sword Goldryn, before she can find it. source
5. She withdraws to Doranelle, builds a stone palace over a river basin, and binds her strongest Fae to the Cadre by blood oath. source
6. When Terrasen is attacked, she refuses to help, punishing the kingdom for the loss of Aelin. source

1. At Mistward she meets Aelin for the first time and sets training as the price for answers about the Wyrdkeys. source
2. In Doranelle she has Rowan whipped to pressure Aelin, then trades Rowan's freedom from his oath for Athril's ring; Lorcan steals the ring soon after. source

1. Maeve's armada attacks the Eyllwe coast and is beaten back by Aelin's allies. source
2. She captures Aelin and Elide, strips Gavriel and Lorcan of the blood oath, and carries Aelin away sealed in an iron coffin. source

1. Stygian spiders in the Dagul Fells reveal her Valg origin and history to Nesryn and Sartaq. source

1. Aelin is tortured on a river island in Doranelle under Maeve's rule while Fenrys is forced to watch. source
2. Maeve leaves to fetch a collar on a false rumour; Fenrys breaks his oath, Rowan reaches Aelin, and Cairn is killed. source
3. Maeve flees to Morath, feigns an alliance with Erawan and strikes a deal with Dorian; Dorian blocks her power to open portals and wrecks much of Morath. source
