The late ruler King Itchlari Raekarr Krouccark III and his wife Queen Aial. Ixal's parents who were very much love birds.
Itchlari became king roughly a little over 300 years ago when his father had passed away after his long reign. He looks drastically different from his father which is common for the Phoenix Clan. Like his ancestors before him, Itchlari had gone on a pilgrimage when he was around 50 and had adventured around the world. He had a reputation of being flirty and charismatic being well liked by his companions and subjects. He was a talented ranger and a warrior like his father though he preferred to make friends rather than enemies. He had two wives previously, both who had passed away due to age. He had loved them dearly and had statues erected for the previous queens around Cormyr. Rumor had it that his feathers and blood could cure most diseases and injuries. Unfortunately, the beloved king had contracted an unknown disease and passed away despite still being in his "youth."
Aial was the former captain of the royal guard of Cormyr. She has a strong demeanor with sass. Itchlari had fallen for her almost immediately when she came into his service and took about 2 years to win her affection. The two eventually got very close and had Ixal after some time. Due to Itchlari's untimely passing, she became the de facto ruler of Cormyr. Despite that, she has remained relatively down to earth. Like the late king, she is popular among her subjects due to this and further helped due to helping defend Cormyr from criminals and similar threats in person despite her status.
Both Itchlari and Aial had immense love for Ixal. Despite being the king, Itchlari would spend his free time with his wife and son, several times of the year going to one of their many homes among Cormyr to vacation alone. Much of the secrets of the Phoenix Clan is only known among these three along with Aurithax and Kashak.
