Characters
Kurtis
Coming from a long line of dragon slayers, Kurtis made a name for himself during the Archendi-Dragon War. Revered as a hero, he became the Yhmszindr; one given authority to act at his own discretion for the well-being of the Archendi, unbound by laws. In the post-war era, Kurtis’ duties involve routinely inspecting the Sealed Dungeons, and occasionally thwarting the Zahnbala Clan where they appear. Kurtis lives on the west-Ragan countryside with his family, and has spent a great deal of the last decade training his son, Kris, for the fated day that Archend will need him.
Helena
Helena met Kurtis through interfamilial connections, as she too is of a dragon slayer lineage. Having lost many to dragons, Helena eventually opted for a non-combative life, resolving to always be there for her family. As fate would have it, she fell in love with the dragon slayer Kurtis, who promised he would always come home. Despite knowing very well the capabilities of her son Kris, she will still worry as he sets out to find his father.
Kris
Trained from a young age by his father Kurtis – renowned dragon slayer and Yhmszindr, Kris in his adolescence is remarkably skilled and resilient. He has also long shown some magical tendencies – notably a first for his bloodline. After embarking on his quest, Kris begins to hear strange callings from somewhere intangible, and finds himself able to uniquely interact with certain objects and locations.
What destiny awaits the young hero, and have it anything to do with the Yhmszindr’s vanishment?.

The White Witches
Blastelle, Metriya and Genessa. Graduates of ARGAAM, at the height of the war they were assigned to the Yhmszindr’s party. Discoverers of the dragon-sealing ritual, they were instrumental in many victories of the war, especially where dragons were too powerful to be slayed. Now residing in Gonrad Forest, they don white, as though in reverence to something. As trusted friends of Yhmszindr Kurtis, they may be of help in finding him.
Born to the magical elite of the capital’s Third Retention, Blastelle would eventually break free of the pretentious (in her own words: “stuffy”) lifestyle she loathed upon enrollment at ARGAAM.
Palpably a genius, Metriya once had a solitary life in Nadrog before a patrolman took notice and referred her to ARGAAM. Very few know anything more about her.
A native of the once standing Gonrad Village, Genessa would first learn of magic after a wandering archeologist lent her a book. A joyous energy about her, she was quick to make friends out of Blastelle and Metriya at ARGAAM. She once claimed to have met a friendly, talking dragon as a child.

Rykard
The former Minister of of the Archend Royal Guild of Applied Alchemy and Magic (ARGAAM), Rykard Zahnbala was stripped of rank after the war because of a certain catastrophe which came to light. With nowhere else to go, Rykard reunited with and now leads his dishonoured clan. Fueled by a burning hatred for Archend’s rulership, and for the Yhmszindr who continues to obstruct the Zahnbala Clan, he swore brutal vengeance upon them both.
Princess Lorena
Princess Lorena, like many before her, is heir not only to the Kingdom of Archend, but also a form of light magic that runs in her family. Upon the recent emergence of the magic bequeathed to her by her mother, the King had arranged that she receive personal training from the highest magical talent in the kingdom. It is of vital importance that she master it, as some facilities in Archend will only respond to those who wield the power of the late queen.
King Charilias
Archend’s current King. Also in power during the last decades of the Archendi-Dragon War, Charilias himself led the final charge in the Valley of Eldra. Alongside Yhmszindr Kurtis and his party, the Archendi forces were able to quell the Dragon of Blackest Night, thus putting an end to the war. Now, King Charilias oversees a land of peace from the capital, Archendria, confident in the Yhmszindr’s ability to keep the streets free of danger. It pains him to go even a day without seeing his daughter, Princess Lorena, as she undergoes training for her newfound magic.
