History
Tamar of the Bagrationi dynasty ruled Georgia from 1184 to 1213, the height of the Georgian golden age. She was the first woman to rule in her own right, and the fresco at Betania shows her as king, the title she used. She died on 18 January 1213.
In 1178 she is not queen yet. The bookmark lists her at Kakheti, age 18, and rates the seat Advanced. Her father George III is still the reigning king. The character screen shows whether she is independent or someone's heir.
Her reign from 1184 set aside a first husband, the Rus prince Yuri, after a rebellion, and continued with David Soslan. The golden age attached to her name is that later reign. In 1178 it has not started. She died on 18 January 1213.

How to play
Goal. Climb from Kakheti toward the Georgia of Tamar's later reign.
The card is Princess Tamar at Kakheti, age 18, one county, Orthodoxy, rated Advanced. George III is still king. The character screen shows whether she is independent or someone's heir. The climb from this county toward the kingdom of Georgia is the campaign. One lost war can swallow the only county. Read claims, the marriage, and the heir before you fight a neighbor who can call a liege.
Where this run fails. A neighbor swallowing the one county, a claim on Georgia you cannot press, or an heir problem before the realm is safe.
