== The Royals ==

=== King Ropert V ===

A strong ruler in his 60's, Ropert has been unable to cope with the rapid societal changes of the modern generation, and still tries to rule the kingdom of Branmir through the strategems of his ancestors which no longer function.  On some level, he realizes that his influence is waning, but he lacks the courage to really try what's new.

=== Queen Sira ===

The Queen is not un-intelligent, but she is intensely egotistic, caring only about herself, her close acquaintences and family, and the petty intrigues of her court.  She could care less about the modern world, and would be happy to play her games until the kingdom falls down around her ears.

=== Crown Prince Ropert ===

The Crown Prince is a man much in the mold of his father.  He is smart and perceptive, but unwilling or unable to look outside of the heavy trappings of tradition that bind his family.  He idolizes his father and the family's history.

=== Princess Elin ===

The King's younger sister, Elin, in her early 50's, is a realist who understands the modern world, but has been frustrated in her attempts to open her brother's eyes to the world.  She is married into the Roget Alliance, and has recently considered turning her attention to gaining power within that institution, rather than continuing her frustrating quest to shake up her family.

=== Princess Saphia ===

Ropert V's oldest child, Saphia is a woman of little intellect or capability.

=== Princess Pola ===

Ropert V's youngest child, Pola is in her 20's and is a child of the modern world.  Currently, she's more interested in the wonders of the modern than the plight of her family, but if she ever turns her attentions to reversing her family's fortune, she could be a powerful voice for change.

=== Duke Wran of Edver ===

Elin's older son, Wran is a realist who understands the need to loose the shackles of tradition and accept the modern world if the Royal Family is to regain its former glory.  Thus far, he, like his mother, has been frustrated in his attempts to get the more influential members of the family to see this.

Wran has a wife and three children, the oldest of whom is only 14.

=== Duke Usker of Velaria ===

Elin's younger son, Usker is an alcoholic and drug addict whose occaisional lucid moments are less productive than his week-long drunks.
