Yep. Here's (part of) what she has to say on the matter:
"The Kingdom of Arkacia sat between vast mountains and the Sea of Kacia, full of deep forests and placid lakes. Rich in timber and honey. I'm told it's very beautiful, though I've never so much as set foot there myself. Jassira was expanding aggressively back then, not too long after the Godswar. My ancestors refused to bow and become subjects of the sultan, so Arkacia was conquered by force. After the king died in battle, the crown prince was forced to marry one of the sultan's nieces, who become the amira of the new princedom; the queen and all her daughters were either sent to the royal harem or given to the Temple of Mallach to get them out of the way."
