House of Dol

House Dol is the royal family that rules Ornatir.

### Queen Noshishi Dol Noshi

Noshishi took the throne at a relatively young age, and has ruled well for 27 years. Crowned while pregnant with her youngest, Noshishi has taken time to raise her children when circumstances permitted, but has relied heavily on royal nurses and caretakers. She takes her responsibilities seriously and is naturally adept at not only navigating but directing the complicated Ornatirian legal and financial landscapes. She is civil, warm, and clever in her dealings. Those who know her well get the sense that there's always something going on behind the surface, some puzzle ever being solved behind a her gracious smile.

### Princess Nijiji Dol Niji

Nijiji was young when her mother took the throne, and felt a noticeable difference in her mother before and after taking the crown. She was always so close for the first few years, but to Nijiji's dismay as soon as she had power she would be whisked away from her daughter to attend to court matters. Nijiji grew resentful of the crown, but stood tall and grew to accept her responsibility. She married a lalafel man of high social standing, but one day when traveling, before the birth of their first child, their caravan was ambushed and destroyed by thri-kreen. Her husband and handmaid were both eaten while hiding her from the carnage, and when the druids came to the aftermath to revive who they could, the only fragment found was of Leora. Despairing, Nijiji rejected her claim to the throne which had twice now destroyed her chances of a happy family.

### Prince Jorvin Dol Tovin

Jorvin was always enamored by tales of daring knights in shining armor, and would wonder in his youth how many of the knights, paladins and guards of the palace were as brave as the tales told. The naivety faded with age, but his passion matured into a love of military tactics and the honor of defending a homeland. He never hopes for war, but strongly believes that if war should come to home someone needs to stand tall. When his brother-in-law was killed and the royal line passed to him, Jorvin took the matter very seriously and personally got involved in the Ornatir military. With further thri-kreen attacks, Jorvin intends to prove to the people that he will be a great king long before he takes the crown.

### Prince Trimmin Dol Tomin

Trimmin has enjoyed and taken advantage of a luxurious upbringing. His mother has been queen since he can remember, and Trimmin knows better than anyone that the fortune he enjoys is less a matter of lineage or military might, but from the strategic implementation of wealth. Nobles of all houses enjoy the same luxuries he grew up on, and many will employ all manner of underhanded schemes to increase it. Trimmin is not as eloquent as his mother nor as regal, but his skill in financial and political navigation are on par with the queen. He grew up accepting that he would never wear the crown, but with Nijiji's rejection and his brother's hands-on approach to military leadership the possibility is real. If nothing else, his brother will need help managing the kingdom, so Trimmin fully expects to make important political decisions in the future.

### Princess Monana Dol Mona

Monana is by far the most wary of her siblings toward political affairs, and has been since the beginning. She's always found the prospect of magic to be exciting, and as the last in line to the throne but still the daughter of the queen she was in a prime position to follow that passion as she saw fit. Matoya nearly ruined that passion for her. Being dropped off in a dark tower with a grumpy old woman quickly tempered her excitement, but on the other hand being around talking frogs and animated objects all the time was incredible. In time she found her passion was more toward the true, deep workings of the world than the quirky, fun magic she originally sought. Matoya saw fit to teach her in the arts of the astrologian rather than standard wizardry.
