+==== Algaroth ====
+=== Fell Witch Ysaura, Sorceress of Sorrow ===
+**Name:** Fell Witch Ysaura, Sorceress of Sorrow\\
+**Player:** Gwen T\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**Bio:**\\
+Four years ago, a dark storm raged over the capital of Algaroth. None dared to leave the confines of their homes - even the Dread Court stayed locked away in the safe stone walls of the castle they had wrested into their control.
+They barely heard the knocking on the gates at first. It must have been wind, or branches, or rocks. When the gateguards finally decided it was worth investigating the sound, the girl they found on other side of the door barely had strength to raise her hand again. Wrapped in a thin, torn cloak, her tatty boots stained with the blood of her blisters, she was a sorry sight to put before the Grand Warlock, but despite her weakness she still stood tall before him, met his eyes and told her tale: she was a sorceress from a kingdom to the East, whose magic had urged her to travel to Algaroth and offer her power to Skarn's rule. The Court laughed at first, for how could such a wretch be of use to their cruel king?
+A moment later, at a gesture from her cold, dirt-streaked hand, half of the court guard fell to the floor, their screams of agony filling the room. The hideous melody lasted until her hand fell again, her eyes never leaving Skarn's, proud and determined, sure of her power and her new place in his court.
+The next day, washed, warmed and restored to the cold beauty that had been concealed by her hard journey, Ysaura took her place at his side.
+And when Leona returned from Camelot with the blood of the warlock and archon on her sword, Ysaura stood with her. Algaroth is her salvation. She is devoted, loyal, and faultlessly faithful to her new kingdom and its Axioms, whoever sits on its throne.

 Many of the people of Silfrfold have known her since long before she became a queen and will happily tell stories of her as a child in a village, usually involving brandishing a wooden sword at some invisible beast whilst escaping the clutches of her terrible captor Fliberis - her exasperated teacher.

+==== Sera ====
+=== Acot Sellsword ===
+**Name:** Acot Sellsword\\
+**Player:** Richard M\\
+**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
+**Bio:**\\
+Acot Sellsword led the IronSides Mercenary company until a dispute with the former king of Sera over payment on a contract let to an unexpected regicide and civil war. After the war the current Monarch has provided Acot a permanent position in her court.
+=== Brielse Aimar ===
+**Name:** Brielse Aimar\\
+**Player:** Louise B\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**Bio:**\\
+Brielse hadn’t always been the General but there were some days when she wondered if anyone actually remembered that her first name wasn’t “General”. Renown for her strategy, snappy dress sense and her long term close personal relationship with Queen Niniveh Glamorgan. It’s widely known that Brielse and Niniveh grew up together, one the daughter of the King and the other the daughter of Duke Aimar – the King’s closest advisor and General of his forces, in a court where women were mere pawns to gain money and power. Both dreamed of something better for themselves, for the power to choose their own destiny.
+General Brielse is a fair and even-handed authority figure in Sera, who came to power after a  group of jealous nobles attacked the court, killing the king and several of his closest advisors, Brielse’s father among them. With the help of a group of mercenaries who were in Court at the time, Brielse was able to escape with the princess, now Queen whilst the mercenaries put down the rebellion and saved the realm.
+=== Dwyn ===
+**Name:** Dwyn\\
+**Player:** Simara P\\
+**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
+**Bio:**\\
+Dwyn is a bard. He collects stories and tales and writes them up as poems. Inquisitive and some might even say nosy, he particular favours tales of romance and friendship unless he's having a bad day when all he wants are tragic losses and noble sacrifices. He's also fiercely loyal to his Queen, her family, advisors and companions. If asked he'll claim his job is to make them all look good – not that they need the help.
+=== Matilda Glamorgan ===
+**Name:** Matilda Glamorgan\\
+**Player:** Ellie G\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**Bio:**\\
+Matilda Glamorgan, sister of Niniveh Glamorgan. Devoted sister and loyal handmaiden to the Serian queen.
+=== Queen Niniveh Glamorgan ===
+**Name:** Queen Niniveh Glamorgan\\
+**Player:** Ninfa H\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**Bio:**\\
+The Glamorgans were, originally, a family of wealthy merchants and land owners. The first king of Sera, Dannyl Glamorgan, was a shrew businessman and a political force to be reckoned with. He established the realm, unifying the region under his banner, with clever use of words, gold and his personal guard.
+He was a good ruler, and so was his son, who succeeded him.
+His grandson, however, was an avaricious and selfish man, with no talent for ruling. He cared not for the well-being of his people, nor for anything that did not enrich the royal coffers.
+It was, for many, a relief when he died, officially due to a coup d'etat where nobles of his court tried to overthrow him. A band of mercenaries in his service tried to intervene, but the king and many of the court died. They did, however, manage to save the two Princesses. The eldest Glamorgan daughter, Niniveh, is now Queen. She is smart, ambitious and ruthless in the pursue of her realm's safety and prosperity.
+Extremely devout to her Gods, she is the first Serian Monarch to ascend to the throne with the title of Queen and High Priestess.
+===Raine Silvervale===
+**Name:** Raine Silvervale\\
+**Player:** Kay S\\
+**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
+**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.
