Theme Song
"Whistleblower" by Enter the Haggis
Conan is the unwitting heir to the throne of Evenheim, son of the missing king Felix Renaud, and a Noble. As a Noble, Conan has the power to command Magicians in binding Obligations, permitting them the use of magic but restraining their free will. Raised ignorant of his power, Conan is loathe to use it and would prefer to stay home, far from magic and monarchies. Unfortunately for him, he's already far more entrenched in the plot than he knows.
He is a stablemaster by trade and is currently dating his childhood friend, Lucie Fuller.

Din is the son of a Magician guildmaster and currently the head Court Magician of the Cymarian monarchy, the right-hand man of the late king of Cymaria. Despite his high rank in the court, Din claims his goal is to overthrow the monarchy and kidnapped Conan in pursuit of that goal.
He appears to have some connection to Conan's father, Felix Renaud, although he's unwilling to share much of his backstory. Whatever happened between them, Din is out for revenge against Noble—particularly Felix—and is known as "The Regicide" in some circles.

The High Priestess
Literally the ocean. Altiria is the grand daemon of water, a wild daemon comprised of every drop of water—as well as the souls of those who've drowned and their bodies never recovered. They can take the form of anyone they glean from a person's memories, or the form of a drowned person, and generally use the pronouns of whatever form they take, although they typically refer to themselves as 'we' (plural). They dislike most humans, particularly Noble, although they have a fondness and empathy for Magicians.
“Even without magic, they can still be commanded. The Gale’s law is absolute.”
