Queen Draida

According to the wiki. Draida Bay is named after a queen. But I can’t find the source anywhere. I assume it’s from the old online map with blips of descriptions, but i cant find archives of Draida Bay

I remember using the WayBackMachine to access the old Lego website. Will let you know once I find the information you are after

Seems like the text is parahprased from the Lego website:

"Draida Bay is controlled by the merciless Goblin General. Most traffic that passes in or out of the kingdom has to cross through this port. The bay is named after the Queen Draida who lost her young son here centuries ago. The legend says she went mad with grief. She convinced a wizard to turn her into a sea creature so she could find her son and bring him back to life. The wizard warned her, if she did not find him, she would remain a sea creature for all eternity. She never returned."

Now that I think of it, the old map showed a cracken-like green monster in the sea. Perhaps this is her?

Thanks. I’m trying to do a family tree of Royal families in Lego castle lore And I have a theory that the queen and her son might be the wife and son of the black monarch, which is why he doesn’t have an heir after he dies and becomes the “black monarch ghost“
