+**Player:** Tim K\\
+**IC Pronouns:** He/They
+**Bio:**\\
+Ainghyll was a small, pleasant farming village, nestled in the Dales of Jorvik. Was is the appropriate word, it was too close to Algaroth, which for years had been a blessing, but during the civil war Ainghyll was used as a battlefield, and afterwards the realm of Algaroth claimed what was left of it. The people of Ainghyll fought a losing battle against the regime, with King Eirik swearing fealty to Skarn in return for his people's safety, though they would be forever more scattered throughout the Hundred Realms. After the fall of the grand warlock Eirik aided the remnants of Algaroth as general until they were safely into the Alliance of the South, at which point Eirik foreswor all realms and travelled the land trying to find both their place in the world and their people, during which time they were known as the King of No-one and Nowhere.
+Eirik now rules as Monarch of Camelot, reclaimed from the Realm of the Lost

-Mildreth is her daughter. When the Witch of Shadow Wood has need of something from beyond the borders of her forested domain, it is most often Mildreth who takes the errand. The folk of Barrowfell know to avoid her if they can and to treat her with wary deference if not, for she is her mother's eyes and ears and a witch in her own right.

+Best described as a survivor, Lana made it through her first home being burnt to the ground and the second being overrun by a raiding band of beasts. Her hamlet was not so fortunate. Life went on.

 **Bio:**\\
 Robert Kyngeston is the austere commander-in-chief of the Legion forces. As the husband of the reigning monarch he enjoys a secure position and wide remit. Despite his apparent despotic appointment he is very popular amongst his people. Approval ratings gathered in the yearly census have scored regular 100% satisfaction several years in a row. In his brash and excitable youth Robert was often seen spearheading the mighty Legion armies’ grand offensives. These days it is said he prefers subtlety; rumours suggest he has been training half the realm in specialised covert tactics. Robert often does his duty in receiving visiting dignitaries in the Eternal bastion. He does so gracefully and with delicate tact for the most part, it is unfortunate that he is somewhat forgetful, always having to rudely leave the room to fetch some misplaced item. Robert and Griselda do not have any publicly recognised children, though a significant amount of Legionnaires bear a very strong resemblance to Robert himself.

+**Name:** Queen Arianwen\\
+**Player:** Reesha D-E\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**Bio:**\\
+Queen Arianwen, like many Rhyfellian monarchs before her, takes a direct and active interest in the well-being of her citizens. Renowned for her gentleness, her fairness, and her love of song, she is equally a friend to her human subjects as she is to the many animals that dwell within her nation. Since her occupancy on the throne, many are the stories of a kind and mysterious stranger in light blue quietly intervening in people's lives to bring lovers together, to find lost children, and to rescue woodland creatures from inconvenience. When asked about her possible involvement in such tales, the Queen will merely smile, and comment that there are ever so many good-hearted people in her Realm.

 **Bio:**\\
 Morcades Pellimar is a political advisor to Queen Niniveh.  She was a childhood friend of the then-Princess when her father was the advisor to the former King, Niniveh’s father.  Her mother died when she was very young and her father was killed in the coup that unseated the King.  When Niniveh was crowned Morcades pledged her undying fealty to the new Queen.  Fiercely loyal to both the Queen and the Realm, Morcades is also a talented mage, specialising in healing magic.  Having grown up in court, she is a skilled diplomat, although around those she trusts she is much more blunt.  She is deeply religious, and she sees birth and death as the two 'book-ends' to a person's life. In between what matters is the story that a person tells and what sort of character they want to be in their own stories and other people's.

 **Bio:**\\
 Daughter of a farmer, Raine grew up in a simple country lifestyle. She never knew her mother, who her had died before she was born. Raine was a restless child, rarely content with the slow pace of farm life and often getting into, scrapes in her quest for adventure. She liked to go down into the local village in the evenings, persuading passing travellers to tell her stories. She bought a sword and spent hours practicing the moves she'd seen in the few tourneys she'd managed to sneak away to and, over time, gained some measure of proficiency. Eventually she joined a mercenary band hoping to fulfil her dreams of glory and to prove herself more than just a farmer’s daughter. She travelled with the group for several months, moving from job to job before they were recruited to the service of the King of Sera. During an uprising of his court they defended the royal family but, hugely outnumbered, only managed to save the two princesses. Raine remains, along with the rest of her group, in the service of Niniveh who is now the Queen.

 As the viziers of Stratiotora depart for Camelot, the powerful men within the court feel the sharp sting of uncertainty and emptiness. Reticent as always it goes unspoken and a collective breath is held amidst all ranks and titles while they await the return of their Lady Luck.

 **Bio:**\\
 Fiery, proud and impulsive Meliae is the Autumn Queen. As quick to jest as to anger, she is unpredictable and rules by the heart, not the head.  She cares deeply for her people and the Fury Realm and will defend them with a passion bordering on madness. She is a powerful (if unfocused) mage with a deep connection to nature.  The fall of Camelot and the rise of the Realm of the Lost has piqued her interest and she has chosen to investigate further what this event may mean for her and her people.
