Ki'Ar
The kingdom of Ki’Ar was established as a necessity in order to fend off the continual advancements of Mik’Tash’s military. Founded in the middle of the Second Age, Ki’Ar is broken down into two regions, Ki’Ar proper and Rindall.
The Karismon War didn’t have much of an impact on Ki’Ar, as most of the war took place in the south west. Over the 32 years since the war, the King of Ki’Ar has begun to see a movement in the former Rindall to revolt and establish its own king. In order to stop this the king has formed a council from major families of both regions in a hope to avert any problems. The council is to take control once the king dies.
The king has two sons, the eldest of whom supports the council and does not want to rule, however, he has a wife who has enough desire for the both of them. The younger son has always had ambitions for the throne, but has always had little chance at gaining it.
The king of Ki’Ar is now an old man, and many think he has gone insane with the loss of his beloved queen. Any gathering he has, there is always a place set for her, and he is often seen talking to her, even though she has been dead for over 10 years.
There are times when he gathers his troops together and rides them out to the battle field to defend against the invading Mik’Tash only to wake up the next morning and wonder where he’s at and what’s going on.
Many people are amazed that the king is still alive, and some want him dead, but he just won’t die. There have been many assassination attempts on him, but all have failed and many believe he is protected from on high.
