WRITEBOARWALK FERRIS WHEEL DAY 7 | WILDCARD

CHARLES VI AETIER KNEW WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SINCE THE DAY HE WAS BORN. He is prince— not yet officially reilma-imperessor, but he might as well be—of Aetier, heir to the phoenix throne, the first vi Soresi king, his mother’s hopes and dreams. He is the apple of his parents’ eyes and the future of the court. Charismatic, well-loved, and one of the most eligible princes in the continent, he seems to coast through life as if he could do no wrong. He is the sole prince, the only heir; the child that his father gave his everything to have. His life is one of luxury; his destiny one of glory. And still, he yearns.

What Charles yearning for, he does not know. Truth, freedom, or maybe a purpose beyond what has been expected of him since he was but a twinkle in his mother’s eye.

 WRITEBOARDWALK DAY 6: FAMILY

MEIDIRA IS OFTEN REMEMBERED FOR HER RELATION TO KINGS. Daughter to Belisarius IV, king of Aranthia and Emperator of the Caldonian Empire; principal wife to King Karleon III of Aetier; and now, she is Queen Dowager and adoptive mother to King Dantalion. But in her own right, she is a woman of silver tongues and courtier’s games, an invaluable advisor, a skilled regent. 

She is a woman of damascus steel, stronger than mythril, and more cunning than the fairfolk. Even in the face of consort Rouena’s political connections, or consort Silvia’s nigh hypnotic hold on the king’s affections, Meidira’s power and station within the harem— and within court— never shook. Her choice to adopt Dantalion as her own child strengthened his claims to the throne, both through her connections and her access to Karleon’s ear. It baffles historians, however, as to why she agreed to such a deal, when many believed that consort Rouena (and indirectly Dantalion) was the culprit of her daughter’s demise.
