Main Cast
Ivan Folgore
The young prince of Kirin, Ivan, is someone who is prideful, calm, and typically stoic. He uses logic and sound reasoning to solve his problems. However, he can be sarcastic and snarky too, a side to him that many have yet to see except for his trusted horse companion, Alexandrite. Trained by the royal militia from a young age, he hones his skills of combat and agility. Despite growing up as royalty, he leads a very sheltered life. His mother, the Queen, does everything she can to protect Ivan from the outside world, including secrets of his own family. Ivan seeks to explore the world, and start solving the mystery of his true heritage.
Vera Samoon-Atlas
Vera is a runaway royal from the Land of Luloba. She has always dreamt of life outside her family's influence and has finally made that dream a reality. Her whole life she was seen as the black sheep of the Samoon-Atlas line, her interests unbecoming of a princess. She was consistently being bested by her older sibling, much to her grandmother, the queen, disappointment. Having enough, Vera decides it is best if she cuts ties with her family and goes to a place where she can pursue her passions and cultivate her talents.
Xiomaris Umbra
After being banished there as a child, Xiomaris grew up in the lawless expanse of the Badlands. Shaped into the person he is today by the constant fight for survival against the dangers of the void and the unique sense of community among the Badlands' protectors. He was drawn to the Arcanum wondering if it was possible to coexist with the void the way one could with spirits. This question drove him to seek out the Arcanum. It's dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and political neutrality made it the perfect place to dabble in magic of the void without attracting unwanted attention.
