Steward Quint, King's Royal Advisor
Steward Quint, the King's Royal Advisor, stands as a stoic figure in the court, his origins shrouded in an air of mystery. At 60 years of age, he has witnessed King Palfrit's journey from youth to royalty. Quint's enigmatic aura is amplified by his rumored connection to the king's alleged Glantrian wizard mother. His pale complexion and cold demeanor evoke whispers likening him to an old vampire. Quint's role as the royal advisor is marked by a sharp intellect and an almost preternatural understanding of courtly intricacies. Known for his discretion, he navigates political waters with a subtle hand, leaving an indelible mark on Ierendi's governance. Whether harboring arcane secrets or merely reflecting the passage of time, Steward Quint remains a figure of intrigue, casting a mysterious shadow on the corridors of power.

His friendship with King Palfrit blossomed after the king's triumph in the Tournament of Adventurers, a camaraderie fueled by a shared affinity for vibrant nightlife. Drawn to Palfrit's exuberance, Moa found himself helping the foreign king navigate the island's social tapestry. Moa volunteered for the role of Royal Courtier, asserting his ability to guide Palfrit through the nuanced realm of Ierendi politics and, more importantly, its pulsating nightlife.

Foreign Ambassadors

Bartolomeo Fiori, Ambassador from the Minrothad Guilds
Bartolomeo Fiori is the suave Ambassador to Ierendi from the Minrothad Guilds. Hailing from the rich guild islands of Minrothad, Bartolomeo navigates the diplomatic waters with the finesse of a seasoned trader/diplomat. Well-versed in the art of negotiation, he represents the economic interests of the Guilds with a shrewd intellect and a silver tongue. His attire reflects the opulence of Minrothad's merchant lords. Despite the diplomatic formality, whispers suggest that beneath his composed exterior lies a rogueish charm, earning him the nickname "Corsair Diplomat" among the Ierendi courtiers. In the intricate dance of trade and politics, Bartolomeo Fiori stands as a bridge between Minrothad's mercantile might and Ierendi's tropical kingdom.

Bartolomeo has expressed his concern to the Ierendi Tribunal regarding the fact that Seraphina Wavecaller, former and disgraced Merchant Prince of Minrothad, is competing in this year's tournament. He explicitly has stated that if she were to win and become Ierendi's queen, strain would put on Ierendi and Minrothad's relationship.

Hector Octavion, Ambassador from Imperial Thyatis
Hector Octavion, the distinguished Ambassador from Imperial Thyatis is tasked by his empire with securing the military alliance between Thyatis and Ierendi. Octavion vocally recognizes the strategic significance of Ierendi's presence in the Sea of Dread. Thyatis, relying on Ierendi to counter Minrothad's influence, views the tropical kingdom not only as a crucial military ally but also as a vital trade partner. Octavion's diplomatic finesse is mirrored in his maintaining a strategic relationship with Tribune Grakk, the formidable Master of Military within the Ierendi Tribunal and who is renowned as an ex-military general with ties to Thyatis.

Gherynid, Honor Island Representative
Gherynid, is the representative from Honor Island, the self-governing island within the Kingdom of Ierendi. Honor Island is inhabited and controlled by an order of mysterious mages who are know to posses secret fire magic, and a powerful magical fleet. Ierendi relies on Honor island for national defense while the mages rely on Ierendi for food and supplies. Gherynid himself is enigmatic, usually displaying a sour short-tempered demeanor in his appearances before the Tribunal. He has not been withholding regarding his support for Pyra Emberflare in this year's tournament; although he vehemently denies that the mages have attempted or will attempt to influence the contest's outcome magically or otherwise.

Elandra Stormblade, Adventurer's Club Guildmaster
Elandra Stormblade, the Adventurer's Club Guildmaster is in charge of the Adventurer's Guild in Ierendi City. She herself is a ex-seasoned adventurer.

Many contestants in the tournament who do not win the crown become members of her guild and receive benefits as such. The winning king and queen automatically become honored members of the guild.

No one knows what land Elandra originates from, but it is thought that she is not native to Ierendi. She has a rough rustic demeanor. She is bold and outspoken. Traditionally she, along with Thorne Wildheart, Safari Island's Wilderness Preserve Headmaster and Vance Ironclaw, Safari Island Adventure Arena Director are tasked by the Tribunal to plan, organize, and enact the Annual Tournament of Adventurers. This year Madagast Circus has been hired by the Tribunal to handle the details of the Tournament.

Thorne Wildheart, Safari Island's Wilderness Preserve Headmaster
Thorne Wildheart is Safari Island's Wilderness Preserve Headmaster. She is a foreigner to The Kingdom of Ierendi, originally hailing from The Grand Duchy of Karameinkos. A ranger who loves wilderness and wildlife, she meticulously maintains her preserve and sets a significant portion aside for use in the annual Tournament of Adventures. In previous years when tournament events are to take place outside of the arena in the open wilderness, Thorne has been tasked by the Tribunal to assist Elandra Stormblade, Adventurer's Club Guildmaster, and Vance Ironclaw, Safari Island Adventure Arena Director in planning events.

Vance Ironclaw, Safari Island Adventure Arena Director
Vance Ironclaw, the ostentatious Safari Island Adventure Arena Director, comes across as a vain thespian to any who engage with him. His arrogance is as pronounced as the dramatic events he orchestrates. Believing himself to be the sole mastermind behind the Annual Tournament of Adventurers-despite the fact that the Tribunal tasks Thorne Wildheart and Elandra Stormblade to work with him as his equal, Vance has overseen many contests in his domain, which is The Safari Island Arena. He presents himself as a historical figure in the tournament's legacy, though he is not the first to hold the title of Safari Island Adventure Arena Director.

Vance's dramatic disposition reveals his jealousy toward Ringmaster Madagast. The territorial rivalry (on Vance's part anyway), stemming from a complex history with Madagast carries echoes animosity.
