Pyra Emberflare, Human Female Mage
Pyra stands at an average height with a slender and graceful figure. Her dark hair cascades down her back. Her eyes shimmer like molten gold. Pyra's attire is a mix of flowing red and orange robes over finely banded metal armor.

Sent by the mages of Honor Island, Pyra's primary motivation is to prove the strength and mastery of fire magic cultivated on her island. Winning the Royal Tournament would not only bring honor to her people but also strengthen alliances between Honor Island and the Kingdom of Ierendi. Honor Island is known for its mastery of elemental fire magic. Her participation in the tournament is not just a personal journey but a diplomatic gesture aimed at fostering further collaboration between Honor Island and Ierendi. (Honor Island is a self-governing entity within Ierendi. Traditionally Ierendi relies on the Honor Island mages for a special security force and the mages rely of Ierendi for goods and supplies.)

Seraphina Wavecaller, Half-Sea Elf/Half-Wood Elf Female Mage
Seraphina has chiseled features of wood elves and sea elves alike. She carries herself with regal poise. She has lustrous pale blue-grey skin. Her dark hair has a silvery blue tint in the light. Her eye color ranges from deep green to black. She has delicate pointed ears and fin-like webbing on her forearms and calves. Her lithe bodies looks well adapt to swimming. She wears armor made from coral and shells.

Seraphina was once a merchant prince of Minrothad but due to 'misrepresenting' the interests of the Minrothad Guilds abroad she was forced to leave her order. She migrated to Ierendi.

(The island nation of Minrothad holds a long tradition of magic used aboard ships to aid in seafaring. Since most elvish captains knew a little sea or weather magic, the combination of merchant skill and spell casting led to the order of the Merchant-Princes of Minrothad. Merchant-Princes are elite experts of seafaring, trading, navigating, and spellcasting. Only a few are admitted to the exclusive academy which trains its students in the arts of sea and air magic. Also, Minrothad is the adjacent island nation to Ierendi.)

Pippin Shadowstep, Halfling Male Rogue
Pippin Shadowstep stands at a mere 3 feet tall, with a stout build that belies his exceptional agility and stealth. His curly blond hair is disheveled, and his sharp green eyes exude a mischievous glint. Pippin wears attire that allows him to blend into the shadows, his dark cloak ready to conceal him at any moment. He has vials on his belt and a very short sword that humans may consider a fine dagger.

Pippin was put forward by the most influential halfling family in Ierendi. He hails from that family. His family's wealth and connections within the Tribunal have propelled him into the limelight. Pippin's proficiency in espionage and his success in carrying out secretive tasks for the Tribunal have solidified his reputation as a reliable asset.

KaeKae Storm, Human Makai Male, Ranger
KaeKae Storm stands at an impressive 6 feet tall, with a thin but well-muscled and agile build. His skin is a warm dark bronze, bearing the sun-kissed tones common among the Makai people of Ierendi. His jet-black hair has intricate dreadlocks in an old Makai style. He is dressed in light and flexible clothing and leather armor equally suitable for journeying through the tropical wilderness, acrobatics, and spellcasting.

KaeKae's self-proclaimed motivation for competing in the Royal Tournament is to honor his Makai heritage. His extensive knowledge of the landscape, wildlife, and vegetation of Ierendi's islands has led him to, at times, employment by both Thorne Wildheart, the Safari Island's Wilderness Preserve Headmaster and Vance Ironclaw, the Safari Island Adventure Arena Director.

Captain Zephyros "Swiftclaw" Sunblade, Rakasta Male Fighter/Navy Captain
Zephyros stands 6 feet tall, with the sleek and muscular build. His fur is a mix of grey and brown stripes. His right ear bears a small notch, a memento from his past life as a pirate. Dressed in a cardinal red naval uniform adorned with golden trim, Zephyros carries himself with the disciplined posture of a seasoned officer.

Zephyros is a reformed pirate who after serving a prison sentence for piracy, reclaimed his honor and joined the Ierendi navy. The Rakasta was once a notorious pirate captain, but a run of bad luck and a near-fatal encounter with naval forces led to his capture. Serving time in prison provided him with an opportunity for reflection and redemption. Upon release, he chose to enlist in the Ierendi navy to defend the kingdom he once preyed upon. While initially met with skepticism and mistrust by fellow sailors, Zephyros's dedication and exemplary service have earned him the respect of his comrades. He harbors no ill will toward his former pirate life but strives to distance himself from it through his honorable service in the navy.

Tribune Grakk, Master of Military
Tribune Grakk, a colossal figure of Makai heritage, commands the role of Master of Military within the Ierendi Tribunal. Renowned as an ex-military general, Grakk's towering presence and strategic ability set him apart.

His involvement in excursions to the southern continent of Davania solidified his reputation as a formidable military leader. Grakk's ties to Thyatis inadvertently entangled Ierendi in the Battle of Raven-Meet, marking the Thyatian conquest of the Davanian Hinterlands, and advancing diplomatic connections with Thyatis. Now, as Master of Customs, Grakk employs his acute military insight to oversee the kingdom's borders, ensuring both security and prosperity.
