Important Royals

Queen Magdelena Moretti Hexenthal - Dunsany
Lady Moretti died young back in Dunsany, some say the target of a spurned suitor. Aaron Hexenthal, Prince of Dunsany, was so taken with her that he intended on making her his wife and queen, but she died before that could happen. Using a True Rezz spell, Aaron raised her from the dead and put her under his vampiric command. She speaks the Ancient tongue, as well as a few others that a woman of that time would learn in noble courts. She has been learning the current common tongue as well. She has a toddler son...Aaron ripped Hampton out of his mother's womb, killing her, and gave the child to Magda to raise as their child. The child had an unholy baptism - what that did to him we do not know quite yet. When Aaron died, and the control was gone, they could not find any relative of the child so Magda has decided to raise him. He is a beautiful child, with curly blond hair, and green eyes with a tendency to get into lots of trouble. Magda has her hands full, and is fully convinced she will be able to raise him up in a way that he will not follow that unholy path formed into his soul by Aaron Hexenthal's unholy baptism.

Serpent-King Rohan Cheverny - Madder
The Serpent-King of Madder is worshipped as the incarnation of the ancient serpent god Nit Gia Zudok, and everyone within Madder is expected to worship him above all others. You may worship the other gods and goddesses you honor, but above all the Serpent-King is the highest. This has brought hatred of Madder to an all time high from the other realms of the land, as most feel that the Six Primal Gods should be worshipped above all.

Jarl of the South, Leif Manne - Alzorc
Though very insular, the most well known of the Jarls of Alzorc would be Leif Manne. Some say if a king were to be named in Alzorc, it would be him. Though many disagree, and say he is too old and fat.

Princess Pryda Riverlan
In her mid-twenties, beautiful, kind and generous, Princess Pryda has made a name for herself throughout Sarkotos. Her appearance paired with her noble kindness and wisdom beyond her age makes her to one of the most loved members of the current royal family. It is rumored that she intends on taking a commoner as a husband. She is not without a temper as injustice, ignorance concerning the need of the ill and poor and greed especially can enrage her and then she can find precise words which nail down the problem and will silence any opponent. But her voice is never sharp and she would never attempt to purposely hurt anyone.

Queen Kethryllia Hatharal - Kir'viir
She was visiting family in the south of Kir'viir when the Scarring struck, killing her entire family. She now resides in Rimion, and has focused on assisting the Scarred elves who are coming into Kir'viir seeking a new home and new life. She is often found at the Iron Gate, bringing water and kind words to those passing through.

King Annar Silvershield - Thrangstonn
He is king of the largest dwarven kingdom in the Knockskulls, if not in all of Arith. Though all dwarves are known for their craftsmanship, the Thrangstonn dwarves are unmatched in reputation. No other metal workers compare to the quality of the fine armor and swords made in the smithies deep within the Knockskulls. No buildings are built as strong or as beautiful. They are responsible for most of the stone buildings in Rumeria and Alzorc in the area of their kingdom. The dwarves of Thrangstonn built palaces, towers and keeps for those that would hire them and their expertise continues into the present day. The dwarves of Thrangstonn are also famous for a unique material found only in the northern Knockskulls, skystone.

Khan Hayfa
The Khan of Marakech is a genie of earth known as a Dao. This is known only to a select few, but it is why the city has thrived so easily yet is not considered as vast as the Healing Lanterns. Khan Hayfa has ruled Marakech for generations carefully steering its wealth and using his various skills to locate gem and mineral deposits around Marakech and beyond whilst protecting the city from raiders. He is incredibly strong and possesses the natural charisma of all genies, his skin is the shade of wet sand and physically appears to be in his early forties though he is infinitely older.

Governor Anton Berengaria - Anoi'pua Islands
Anything that leaves the islands is approved by the governor, and anything that comes in to the civilized areas is also approved. He is the key to any other area in Arith getting the juicy fruits and spices from the islands; in that he is quite well known to at least the merchants and ship captains in Arith. He has two daughters, Hana'lee and Annyth and one son, Adrian. At this time both Hana and Annyth reside in Sarkotos, while Adrian is being groomed to take over when his father retires. He has grown up his entire life in the islands, his grandfather was the first Governor of Anoi'pua.

Grand Duke and Duchess of Kullyr, Bjarn and Anne Lofgren - Kullyr
They rule their wild land from the largest and most settled city in Kullyr, Rood. The Lofgren family has ruled Kullyr ever since they fought Dunsany and ripped the land in half, ages ago.

Dowager Queen Aideen Dalcassian - Shalott
The Dowager Queen is still in great health, brilliant and insightful. She loves a game of chess. She has great foresight of future events and intrigues hatching in the lands. Her fragile, delicate beauty conceals stubborn bravery, and a mind that notices everything. She is approaching a hundred years of age. She is a great help to the Regent as she spends all of her time in court, sizing up folk who come to court, learning of their doings and sizing up their moods. Her first son died at the hands of an assassin 75 years ago, and she has never truly gotten over it. Those who wish to anger or wound her need only mention her son, Thorven. She has taken weapons training with daggers, and shortsword.
