THOLUS
Tholus is the Crown Prince of Andaraya, heir apparent and eldest child of King Paleon and Queen Retra. Although only sixteen, he has been trained through the palace military system from a young age and has already been elevated to the rank of Lieutenant. He tends to spend much of his time with Lady Lena of Aldragon, often oblivious to the fact that she loves him.

MAENUS
Maenus is the second child of King Paleon and Queen Retra, second in line to the throne of Andaraya and the second son of the Royal House of Draken. He is tutored by Lord Perik Aldragon and seems to be, compared to his brother, the level-headed one in the family. He is fifteen and, like Tholus, has been trained within the palace military system.

LENA
Lena is the second child and only daughter of Lord Perik Aldragon, of the Noble House of Aldragon of Delvallon.

She is sixteen years old and, although she does not want to admit it, has a deep crush on Tholus, the Crown Prince of Andaraya.

MYRREN
Myrren is a bit of an unknown, chancing upon Maenus during his travels one day. She is fifteen and rides a pure white mare, rarely revealing much about herself. She is carefree and intelligent and clearly loves to play with boys' emotions.

JOTTEN
Jotten is the eldest son of the House of Aldragon, however, he disinherited himself when he walked away from the nobility some six years ago. Lena is his younger sister and he keeps to himself in a makeshift 'castle' in the deep south of Andaraya.
