Cast
- King Saul d'Antioch: Diarch of Thanast. Old and tired, Saul d'Antioch has mostly withdrawn from the public eye. He instead spends his time in the many chapels and tribal shrines of the country, enjoying his twilight years debating religion with the various priests and scholars.
- Prince-Anointed Mattias d'Antioch: The anointed heir of Saul, Mattias is seen as progressive leader who merges the secular needs and religious basis of the nation. Young, but popular. Acts essentially with the full authority of his father.
- King Jezeriah d'Brecht: Second of the Diarchs, Jezeriah is a middle aged warrior who has spent much of his life questing for relics and protecting his county directly. However, his wife has yet to produce for him a male heir. Instead, Jezeriah is known for having a number of daughters who often fight along side him, including the eldest, Norah-Elysia. Rumored to be soon anointed, she is also is rumored to be illicitly involved with Prince Mattias, a fact which could spell scandal and, some grave voices say, disaster.
