Captain Loman Estar

**Loman Estar** is a Captain in the Griffon Kingdom Armed Forces. He was Lith's main subordinate during the mission to reclaim the Nestrar Region.

## Background

When ex-Ranger Alman Quaron rebels and seizes power in the Nestrar region, the Royals send Lith to resolve the situation. Estar's superior officer Lieutenant Colonel Xolman Pelan, perceiving Lith to be a political pawn instead of a soldier, comes to a head against Lith in their first encounter but is field demoted to Captain due to his insubordination. Estar succeeds him as Lith's second in command.

Estar takes the lead on the journey to the city of Zeska due to Lith's unfamiliarity with the region. The mage regiment deploys around the city, but Lith decides to negotiate alone in order to avoid casualties and wasting time on a siege. Lith reasons with the city guard and citizens, attempting to discredit Quaron with logic about the circumstances surrounding the ex-Ranger's plot to paint himself a hero. Lith delivers an ultimatum - summon Quaron to fight Lith in single combat, or Lith retakes Zeska by any means necessary. Contrary to expectations however, Lith plans to lure out Quaron and his accomplices, take them out without anyone knowing, and quelling the rebellion while also investigating Quaron's backers.

After Lith disposes of Sergeant Throq when the latter attempts to sneak attack Lith in single melee combat, Estar reminds Lith that the latter's equipment bears the Royal seal and needs to be returned. Lith proceeds to infiltrate Zeska alone while leaving a decoy of himself behind. He later returns with news of a mysterious "god" that is working with Quaron behind the scenes.

Quaron answers Lith's challenge at dawn, but is quickly overpowered and defeated. However, he is revived upon the emergence of the "god", which turns out to be Syrook the Black Dragon. The Divine Beast's presence oppresses the army of mages, but Lith summons his ally Tiamat to combat the Divine Beast (which in reality is just Lith, with Solus posing as Lith in the Scalewalker armor). The regular humans inside and outside of Zeska fall into a panic as the fight between the two Divine Beasts ensues.

Solus rouses the army regiment to fight, though they are forced to retreat after spending most of their mana for an ineffective barrage, leaving only the Captains to stand by "Lith's" side to face the army of lesser undead that Syrook summons with his bloodline ability. Lith summons his Demons to combat Syrook's undead, and Solus manages to kill Quaron with the unexpected return of Captain Locrias as one of Lith's Demons. In turn, the backlash from Quaron's death gives Lith an opening to kill Syrook.

When Lith attempts to take away Syrook's corpse, Estar and the other Captains attempt to negotiate the distribution of loot, but the Tiamat instead leaves with Syrook's corpse and loot while the army accepts Zeska's surrender. The other cities in the Nestrar Region follow suit after news of Quaron's death.
