Thonica was an empress regent of the Septim Empire. She was the imperial consort of Emperor Uriel Septim V.[1] In 3E 285, Thonica gave birth to their son, Uriel.[1] In 3E 290, Uriel V was killed in Akavir at the Battle of Ionith, leaving Thonica a widow.[1][2][3][4]

Uriel VI was too young to rule in his own right, so following her son's coronation in 3E 290, Thonica was given a restricted regency until he reached his majority.[1][3][UOL 1] The Elder Council held the real power in the imperial government during Thonica's regency, and it had the unlimited and unrestricted freedom to make laws.[1] She reportedly enjoyed her time as empress regent and was reluctant to allow her son to assume full power.[1][UOL 1] Uriel VI began slowly taking over the reins of the imperial government until, in 3E 307, he was finally allowed to rule on his own, ending Thonica's regency.[1][3][UOL 1]
