Arkhon the Great, or the Hero, was a Prince of Estakeem and the first king of Kavaad
-
Rhygon the Bright
-
Aeshon the Slayer. The Demon Tide and the Archlich were finally defeated during Aeshon's reign. He named Lady Soliel a saint and made several trips to her dryad tree on Tol'Anar where his paladins cleared out enemy stragglers.
-
Rhygon the Enlightened. He wrote the Book of Angels and united the humans and gnomes in one faith under Manarakh. With no heir, he left the kingdom to his uncle Seraphon.
-
Seraphon the Winged. Younger brother of Aeshon I. He was an aasimar, lending credence to the claim that House Zokesh descended from the legendary Mithar and consequently from Manarakh himself. He was a beloved prince, but his reign as an elderly king was short.
-
Son of Seraphon, cousin to Rhygon II. King Khathar saw the start of the Infernal Invasion and fought a back-and-forth war with the devils, trending towards defeat near the end of his reign.
-
Aeshon took over Khathar's war with the armies of the Hells, continuing a ruinous struggle.
-
Kharo the Warrior. He led a successful campaign against the devils in his early reign, but the victory was short-lived. He spent the rest of his reign chasing the high of those early victories.
-
Rhygon the Victorious oversaw the driving-back of the Infernal Invasion. With the aid of the Mage to Balzamar, Xanthe Eshemekhu, his armies cleared Kavaad of devils. He then initiated reconstruction of the major cities that were damaged. Many smaller settlements were deemed unsalvageable and left to the wilderness.
-
Maro the Restorer continued the reconstruction in the wake of the Infernal Invasion. His attempts at restoring certain megastructures were opposed or outright sabotaged, as the courts deemed the work too costly and too ambitious. Thus, more of ancient Kavaad was left to crumble in the wilderness.
-
Aeshon the Invulnerable faced attempted usurpers from his extended family, but all attempts failed, and he remained on the throne. When peace was reestablished, Aeshon abdicated in favor of his eldest son Rhygon IV, and died a year later.
-
Rhygon the Defender. In his early reign, he kept the Agranorian king Lander VI out of Kavaad without much trouble, successfully deterring future Agranorian aggression.
-
Thaero the Wise. During Thaero's reign, the neighbouring kingdoms were focused on internal affairs, allowing Thaero to govern peacefully. He allied himself with merchant families and guilds and constructed several new buildings, including his own final resting place in Redgate.
-
Arkhon the Conquerer claimed Virdenia over a series of wars against Agranor, expanding the border in 721 and again in 733. His conquests were led by the Gosters, whom he awarded the land as a third barony and promised a noble sword.
-
Rhygon . His two eldest were twins and married the wealthy Meisent twins in an alliance with their father Borostan. He awarded the Gosters with the sword Stormrose, as promised by Arkhon II.
-
-
Tymas the Wealthy. His twin sister Tysanna married Aeshon Zokesh, the twin brother of Tymas' wife Cyra. Tymas' father Borostan Meisent arranged the alliance, but when Aeshon was named the heir, Borostan had Aeshon killed (and Tysanna too, though that may have been unintentional).
-
-
Jerestan the Mad ruled with grace for years before he became obsessed with a prophecy about his family's blood being used to free the demon Daeszal. To thwart the prophecy, he started a genocide of the Zokesh bloodline, leaving only four others behind when he died himself. His court magus Kanilm Foheen took over in the interim between the war and the coronation of Jerestan's youngest, Cyrsanna.
-
Jerestan's court magus Kanilm Foheen was viceroy in the year following the king's death.
-
Cyrsanna the Child Queen was crowned at age 5, so all real power was delegated to the royal advisors and secret organisations/hags using her to control her uncle Patriarch Corbin.
