Editing Dreams of a Fallen Crown:Characters (section)

====Tri-khan Ardashir Hal'zahn III====
Overlord of the Delzahn Horde and the first Dragonblooded Tri-khan in three generations, he is the direct descendant of Assif the Hal'zahn (Assif, the Desert Wind) and ruler of the great southern port city of Chiaroscuro.  Now in his thirty-fifth year, Ardashir is starting to show signs of maturity, his orange hair taking a deeper reddish hue, and small lines etched in his brow.  He is the father of seven sons, one of the deadliest swordsman among the Del'zahn, and a troubled ruler.

For the past five years, the Tri-khan has been playing a careful balancing act with the Great Houses of the Realm.  Chiaroscuro is an economic superpower of the south, and one of the largest ports in the world.  By playing the Houses against one-another since the disappearance of the Emperess, the Tri-khan has managed to sever the lines of tribute connecting his city to the realm. However, in order to maintain this stalemate, the Tri-khan has been forced to create a strong alliance with another organization.   Chiaroscuro has been opened as a free-trade city, and two years ago was declared a hub-city of the Guild.  Not everyone is happy with this change, but it has so-far kept the Realm at bay, and the economy of Chiaroscuro has soared.
