Mediev Zadeku

Duke Mediev Zadeku

Mediev Zadeku has been the long time ruler of Kowal. Once he claimed the title of Baron, though he was actually the singular ruler of Kowal as a city state. The title Baron had been awarded to his family centuries ago, and they held the title in honor.

In 5707, when Kowal rejoined the kingdom of Uthgard, Kowal was given extended lands and Zadeku was awarded the title of Duke.

His son, Arnexi, was silenced by the wizards at Eredar. He holds a deep grudge against them due to this. For a long time he supported the Red Guard, who arrested and executed hundreds of so called heretics and witches.

He now has a grudgingly neutral relationship with the Ministry of the Arts, who took over this wing of enforcement for the Uthard kingdom.

Nulthari

Nulthari is the name given to the mages who are a  branch of the Ministry of the Arts called the Arcane Assembly. They look to gain power over life, to end suffering and disease, and conquer death. Some see this as an avenue to power, others see this as a way to stop the pain of those suffering. They also claim to be able to commune with the dead, but many believe that they are only speaking with those of the Navirim or the Between.

History

In the 3rd Age the Nulthari were the advisors to the Warlock King and were the chief strategists of the invasions to the South and West (The Great War). They perfected extending life and healed many diseases that the people suffered. 

They also used ravaging magics to win the war leaving the world scarred.

In the 4th Age, the Nulthari are part of the Ministry of the Arts and publicly model themselves after the good parts of the Nulthari from the 3rd Age. Though in any institution power reigns and many within their ranks once again search for answers over life and death. They also seek knowledge of their ancestors’ destructive and powerful magics.
