The Everchildren are those princesses of Avelorn that are daughters of Ulthuan's current Everqueen. Each Everchild is kept in a secure place far away from the Court. This is in part because the Asur had learned long ago from the loss of Aenarion and Astarielle's children. Never again would their royal family be assembled all in one place - able to be killed in one fell swoop - or saved only by an accident so unlikely it smacked of divine intervention.[1a]
It is also because of their ancestor Yvraine, that each Everchild, and thus all Everqueens after Astarielle, are of Aenarion's Bloodline.[1a]
