The King's Council (Zar)

Iknis Thunderheart, High King of Zar, rules with advice from his Council. It is made up of influential, intelligent or powerful people, often all three.

Loma
A gnome, Loma is the King's Treasurer. He is often seen dressed in the gold and brown robes of his office. He is later revealed to be a traitor, working with the Low King, and eventually partly responsible for the situation at the Zaran Tree.

Justine LaCona
A human, Justine is the King's Spymaster. She dresses in a black silk shirt, black leather trousers, boots and, when outside, a wide-brimmed black hat.

Master Phyraxis
A human wizard, Master Phyraxis represents the magical populace of the city. Most city or town councils find it useful to keep a wizard in a position of power, whether it be to make use of their immense knowledge or merely to keep them happy. Master Phyraxis is often seen in long robes with silver stitching.

General Rika
A dwarf, General Rika is the chief of the country's army. He is almost always armoured; however, his black leather breastplate has silver scrollwork and designs, lending it the appearance of formalwear rather than practical.

Father Robert
A human, Father Robert represents the city's spiritual populace and is also most often aware of how the citydwellers are feeling. He provides the King with crucial information regarding general feelings in the city, disposition of key refugee or care locations in time of war and generally acts as the Voice of the People.
