Philippa I of Velen (7th of Deep Cold, 1896), Also known as The Sleeping Countess or Philippa Illena von Reuss was the first born to Margravine Guinevere I of Velen and her first husband Harald Ragnarsson, making her the heir-apparent to the Margraviate of Velen. While she may have spent much of her time in childhood prior to her inheritance away from her homelands, she was beloved by the people of Velen as the jewel of their governing family. Upon her mother's abdication in 1914, Philippa returned to Velen to finalize the former Margravine's plans to erect a holding and township just east of their current Margravial seat at the most western border of the Aschenwald. Following a twenty-six year reign as Margravine of Velen, where the latter half was spent in regency due to her inhabilitating illness, Philippa died at the age of fourty. Following her death, her son was titled Margrave of Velen, the first male inheritor in two generations. Following her death she gained the moniker 'the Sleeping Countess' as most of her time as Margravine was spent gravely indisposed and what she was most known for was her time as her mother's heir under the titelage the Countess of Revedin.
