In truth, he is but a puppet ruler – and loathes it. Arvacullas’orv VII believes it has long been time for the Royal Family to take true control of the City of Depths once more. The Sacred Council of Elders, however, is equally loathe to have their authority taken from them and are well aware that this new Sea King is no pushover like the current Sea King’s father, the previous Sea King Arvacullas’orv VI. As such, the Elders keep a constant vigil over Arvacullas’orv. Though his wisdom and benevolence have made him a loved ruler, his true supporters – like Larvatii’oz, current Sword of the Elders – are always kept far away from him; the seventh Sea King is constantly surrounded by the Elders’ spies and servants loyal to them. The Sea King is constantly trapped in his glorious palace, rarely allowed out under the pretence of ‘keeping him safe’, and only during events, announcements, or similar activities, can he come out and observe his underwater city and denied birthright. Arvacullas’orv VII is known to be an avid learner and an admirer of surface culture and artworks, and has at times taken fancies to the few surface women he has come in contact with.</em><br/><br/><strong>Warrior Skills</strong><br/>-   <strong>Fighting:</strong> Capable<br/>-   <strong>Tactics:</strong> Impressive<br/>-   <strong>Strategy:</strong> Impressive<br/><br/><strong>Mage Skills</strong><br/>-   <strong>Summoning:</strong> Adept<br/><br/>-   <strong>Call of the King:</strong> <em>A unique skill that is passed down through the blood of the Royals, the Call of the King is an ancient and ritualistic skill that all Sea Kings have been able to instinctively use. As long as they are near a body of water, they need only let out a single drop of their blood into the water and call out to their servants of the deep. Responding to this call are an astonishing amount of creatures, ranging from common fish to exotic piranha, friendly dolphins to ferocious sharks, tiny but lethal jellyfish to gargantuan whales, and most feared of them all, a terrifying beast that is said to slumber deep beneath the Royal Palace rumoured to be the ultimate weapon of the Royal Family. This creature has not been seen in many a year, but its name is still well-known: Leviathan. </em></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Name:</strong>  Larvatii’oz<br/><strong>Race:</strong> Nagai<br/><strong>Rank:</strong> Sword of the Elders <br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Violent, Hotheaded, Fanatically Loyal<br/><strong>Biography:</strong> <em>Larvatii’oz is the current Sword of the Elders, a military rank of the Nagai similar to the rank ‘Field Marshal’, or ‘Chief Commander’. The Sword of the Elders is appointed by the full council assembly and the highest obtainable military rank of the Nagai; such a rank is considered to hold great prestige.  Larvatii’oz was born into a poor Nagai family; his father was a scholar, but he did not do well with his writings. Though his father tried – in vain – to teach Larvatii’oz the way of the scholar, Larvatii’oz showed no affinity for a way with runes. Rather, the young Nagai proved himself a potential warrior. After his father died, Larvatii’oz inherited what little was left of the family fortune with no real family – they had all died before his father. As such, Larvatii’oz sold the property and set off a journey to improve himself. The unknown Nagaii went from being a completely unheard-of sellsword to a powerful and feared warrior in the underworld. Eventually, Larvatii’oz participated in the Grand Tournament held in the honor of the Sea King. Wanting to prove himself to a worthy master, Larvatii’oz tried to enter the tournament, but commoners like him were not welcome. Only noble warriors were allowed into the fray. Unwilling to let up the opportunity, he stole a noble’s armor and wore it to the tournament. Eventually, he was victorious, but guards rushed into the ring announcing he was an imposter and the real noble had been found. At this, he threw his helmet to the ground and declared, “I am Larvatii’oz! Born a commoner and raisssed in hardship! Yet, I have besssted all you pretentiousss noblessss, and I am to be arresssted? Sea King, your humble ssservant asssks for your judgment!” Impressed with the audacity of the upstart warrior, the Sea King Arvarcullas VII made Larvatii’oz an honorary noble of his line. Larvatii’oz shot up the ranks of the army, and was brought into the presence of the Sacred Council of Elders that so despised him when he first appeared, and appointed the Sword of the Elders. Ironically, in spite of his title, Larvatii’oz is in fact the Sword of the Sea King, as he feels no loyalty towards the Elders who loathed him and feels indebted towards the Sea King who willingly took a stranger under his wing. </em><br/><br/><strong>Warrior Skills</strong><br/>-   <strong>Fighting:</strong> Impressive<br/>-   <strong>Tactics:</strong> Capable<br/>-   <strong>Strategy:</strong> Capable<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Name:</strong> Saedalar'sevi<br/><strong>Race:</strong> Nagai<br/><strong>Rank:</strong> Elder Lord of the Sacred Council of Elders, Most Faithful Servant of the Serpent God<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Cunning, Greedy, Vicious<br/><strong>Biography:</strong> <em>Born into a wealthy family that has been in power for the last century, Saedalar’sevi is the Elder Lord – an Elder of Elders, in short. He rules over the Scared Council of Elders with an iron fist; merciless, and determined to bring Mu’urth-Doriel out of the depths in order to start vigorous expansion across the realm, his fiercest opposition comes from none other than the being he is meant to serve with utter loyalty – the Sea King himself. While the Sea King believes they should pursue peace and uphold tradition as they always have, the Elder Lord looks upon the surface-dwellers with disdain and would like nothing more than to wipe them off the face of the world, or enslave all of them. Saedalar’sevi thinks of anything non-Nagai as vermin, and it is in part because of him that trade with Mu’urth-Doriel has become so strained, and why so few  commoners have even heard of it.</em><br/><br/><strong>Warrior Skills</strong><br/>-   <strong>Fighting:</strong> Adept<br/>-   <strong>Tactics:</strong> Adept<br/>-   <strong>Strategy:</strong> Adept<br/><br/><strong>Mage Skills</strong><br/>-   <strong>Charms:</strong> Impressive<br/><br/>-   <strong>The Siren’s Wail:</strong> <em>A subtle skill that seduces the mind into believing the unreal; a Nagai’s natural pheromone excretion can be rapidly increased and accelerated to result in a huge burst of pheromones forced upon a victim, resulting in them becoming disoriented, giddy, and start to see hallucinations.

The ranks of the Nagai Military are classified by parts of a Sword, with the lower parts of a sword being the lowest ranks, and the highests part of the sword being the highest ranks. As such, from lowest to highest, the ranks are Pommel, Hilt, Guard, Blade, Edge, and Tip. Interesting to note, the rank known as ‘Scabbard’ is the equivalent of a specialist protector, such as the Palace Guards. As second-highest in the standard rankings, Ulrasha’doi is of rather high standing. Ulrasha’doi was part of a patrician family; her family wanted to marry her off to a potential suitor, but were unable to do so as she was seen as undesirable, brash and tomboyish. She also had a great love of weapons, and would train relentlessly by day, study the arts of war by night, and be enraptured whenever a military parade was run. Her potential was seen one day by the Nagai who would eventually become the Sword of the Elders, Larvatii’oz; he paid a personal visit to her parents and beseeched them to let her pursue her chosen path. She joined the army shortly after, true of heart and loyal to Larvatii’oz, and to that end, the Sea-King, whom Larvatii’oz worships reverently. She proved her worth quickly, and is well-known as one of the few females to have made it into the harsh life of the Army – and one of the only ones who reached a rank as high as the Edge. She is Larvatii’oz’s most trusted subordinate, being the thinker at the great yet brash Nagai’s side.</em><br/><br/><strong>Warrior Skills</strong><br/>-   <strong>Fighting:</strong> Capable<br/>-   <strong>Tactics:</strong>Capable<br/>-   <strong>Strategy:</strong>Capable<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Name:</strong> Yuweiku’amn<br/><strong>Race:</strong> Nagai<br/><strong>Rank:</strong> Scabbard of the Sword<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Hospitable, Warm, Liar<br/><strong>Biography:</strong> <em>One of the elite protectors of the Sea-King himself, Yuweiku’amn is a Scabbard – one of the most honored and feared ranks in the Nagai military.

As it is the intention of the Elders –with the approval of the monarch – to establish relationships with the other nations after years of isolation, a diplomat had to be selected to be sent there. The Elders fear the Sea-King forming a secret alliance with the foreigners, and hence selected a man loyal to themselves.
