CastKing Varulus III, King of Throal[ Spoiler ]
King of Throal, Varulus has been hailed as a visionary and great leader in this new age, as the people of Barsaive struggle to find a sense of direction in their shattered world. Throal has risen to greatness under Varulus, becoming a leader in modern Barsaive, with influence across the region.
Varulus himself is considered a wise and well respected leader across most of Barsaive. He has a reputation as a scholar and an intellectual, traits that have served him well thus far. Over the past few years, the King has begun to spend more of his time at his studies, ceding much of the running of the kingdom to his only son, Prince Neden.
Prince Neden[ Spoiler ]
The Crown Prince and only child of the King and Queen, Neden is a Warrior and independent thinker. He spent many years working and fighting with the Arm of Throal, the military of the kingdom, also training as a calvary rider and a leader. He prefers the straightforward manner of the battle field over court intrigue, although he has had to come to grips with the reality of his life, as his father has set more of the responsibilities of the kingdom on his shoulders. Now finding himself dealing with his houses' rivals in the court, he has had to find ways to change his habits and tactics.
An adult dwarf of some 30+ years, Neden is a man in hiw own right, although his father casts a very long shadow.
Merrox, Master of the Hall of Records[ Spoiler ]
Merrox is a name as well known throughout Barsaive as that of the King himself. Merrox's own accomplishments and integrity have earned him the respect he is awarded, to the point where the Master Scholar has even come and gone freely to the Theran Empire to learn first hand the knowledge he would need for an accounting of that entity. Merrox is, on top of his duties to the Library, an adivsor to the King, and some say a good friend. Rumors also suggest that he tutors Prince Neden on how to handle the Court, and perhaps other things that the King cannot handle personally.
