Editing Kingdoms: The Web of Harmonies (section)

=The Dominant Actors of the Court=
==KING: Arachnos, The Ebon Monarch==

Twice the height of a man, and several times the mass, Arachnos could be considered monstrous. To his subjects, however, he is a thing of beauty, with his flawless black carrapace and perfect form that shows all that is good and right about the arachnid form. To them, he is an avatar of the universal spider deity, and rules by nothing less than divine mandate. They applaud his ruthlessness, his predatory instincts and his talents at stealth and deception. They marvel at the webs he weaves, both those literal and metaphorical. True, the human denizens of the kingdom seek to overthrow the Ebon Monarch, but the true citizens of the realm, the spider-folk, are truly devoted to him. Can there be any doubt that Arachnos is the rightful ruler of Arcadia?

==KNIGHT: Taleros, the Sword-Mouthed==

Almost as large as the King himself, though marred with the brown-mottlings of the lower castes Taleros is nonetheless an exceptional warrior. The power of his mandibles is spoken of across the Kingdom, and it is well known that Arachnos considers Taleros to be his personal champion, highest amongst all in his esteem.

==BISHOP: Umbrak, the Invisible==

Born of a near-extinct breed from the Southern Jungles, Umbrak has the rare and uncanny ability to shift his colouration to camouflage himself near perfectly. This, combined with a cunning and incisive mind, makes him one of the kingdom's most feared agents.

==ROOK: Eserius, the Centre of the Web==

Eserius is a small and unimposing spider, no larger than a wolf, but one possessed of great intelligence. Through engineering and ingenuity he has found ways to tap into the jungle-spanning webs, and to listen in on just about anything that happens within the Kingdom. This information he gathers and hoards, and when his King demands it, places in service of the realm.
