CHARACTERS OF THE KROVIC EMPIRE:
Members of nobility:
HOUSE KAZBIRATI |
Ruling family of the Duchy of Mechi. Rose to power as the royal family after usurping previous ruling family's power and ending their bloodline. Renown for their 'tiger-taming' skill, something implemented with each new generational line. Each heir of to the position of power (previously as Duke but more recently as King) is expected to be able to catch and tame a wild snow tiger to prove to the gods that they are worthy of the Kazbirati blood. Despite the danger of such an endeavor, deaths rarely occur.
