Zarchudi
Taslim of House Tallo, came to the throne at the age of eight, and was deposed from it an age when boys were coming of age - at age of 16. He has never forgotten this betrayal nor the betrayers.
And they have not forgotten him. Many think he was lucky to have escaped with his life, and some don't mind finishing the job.
But Taslim is protected by his older and powerful brother, Tasthair, and kept on a tight leash by same. Tasthair was the one who removed Taslim from the throne afterall, and while he cannot kill blood, he still worries that Taslim might nurse ambitions to reclaim the title.
But while Taslim and Tasthair worry about each other and rival lords scheming to take the throne, there are threats all about them. Rival Kingdoms hoping to conquer them, and worse, a supernatural threat that hopes to take them all.
This is not your average fantasy; the stakes are real, and the characters are hard, brutal and definitely not perfect. Alliances rest on cards and the Ancients, those powers that gave the House of Tallo the power to rule are coming. They know it all and will claim their due.
