His last name, Falenas, is constant) However, there are rumors of his name being Faroush, a rough mixture of Ferid and Arshtat, his parents. Alias: N/A Origin: Queendom of Falena Age: 16 Race: Human Rune: Dawn Rune Family: Arshtat Falenas (mother), Ferid Egan (father), Lymsleia Falenas (sister), Sialeeds Falenas (aunt) Haswar Falenas (aunt), Skald Egan (grandfather), Bernadette Egan (aunt) Affiliation: Queendom of Falena Previous Affiliations: Prince of Falena's rebel army BIOGRAPHY The Prince of Falena is the eldest child of Arshtat Falenas and Ferid . However, as a male, he is unable to inherit the throne to the Queendom. The Prince, since he cannot inherit the throne, performs mainly ceremonial functions. Some nobles respond that princes in Falena are only good for waving to the crowds and marrying off to foreign relations. The Prince himself is fairly indifferent to nobles like this. Because his sister Lymsleia is quite young, the Prince goes out on tour to visit the nations in the kingdom, often with his aunt, Lady Sialeeds . Often accompanying the Prince is his bodyguard, a Queen's Knight apprentice named Lyon, and Georg Prime , a soldier recruited by Ferid . The Prince went on tour to the desolate town of Lordlake, and was appalled at the sheer devastation that happened there. The area was a dried-up, desolate wasteland that was arid and waterless. After rescuing the child Toma from a pack of Ulse, the boy angrily spits on the Prince's offer of help, stating that his family, or rather, his mother the Queen , caused such devastation to Lordlake. The Ulse attack people because there is no other food around due to a lack of water. When he returns to Sol-Falena, he receives a warm welcome from his father, and goes to see his mother. She welcomes the Prince home with open arms, and thanks his entourage. When they move onto the discussion of Lordlake, however, things change. The Queen is initially saddened by the news, but she immediately changes her attitude. The people of Lordlake were loyal subjects, but they rebelled and stole the Dawn Rune. The Queen had to enact judgment on them, and she used the Sun Rune, a powerful relic that caused the devastation the Prince had seen. When the Prince speaks out that there are innocent people who had nothing to do with the rebellion, the Queen barks angrily at him. But Ferid enters, and the Queen calms down. She dismisses her son and will hear the rest of his report later. The Prince is upset and concerned about what he witnessed, but figures he should find his sister, Lymsleia . He searches around the palace but cannot find her. So he decides to wait with Queen's Knight Kyle in the Queen's Knights barracks, figuring Lymsleia will come there eventually. There, he witnesses a political dispute between Kyle and Alenia . Alenia is a militant who wants to use the Sun Rune aggressively, an opinion relative of the Godwin faction she supports, while Kyle prefers peaceful accord, like the Barows faction. It gets heated until another knight Zahhak reminds the two they are acting disrespectfully in front of the Prince. Ferid enters, and tells the Knights that, although discipline is important, the Knights may speak openly in this room. He also consuels his son into listening to the Queen's Knights; they all have good wisdom to impart. Lymsleia enters and finds her brother there, and latches onto him, hugging him tightly. The Princess's bodyguard Miakis also enters, and finds the scene adorable. Now that the Princess has found her brother, she wants to spend some time with him. Miakis suggests going to the Senate to see the list of candidates for the Sacred Games, a festival to choose the next Commander of the Queen's Knights and Lymsleia 's eventual husband. In town, the Prince encounters Salum Barows, and is not too pleased with the foppish lout, nor with his son Euram. After noticing the list, and how both Euram Barows and Gizel Godwin are on the list, Lymsleia reutrns for afternoon studies, while the Prince heads into town. After this, the Prince must go to Stormfist to oversee preparation for the Sacred Games. There, he meets Gizel Godwin for the first time, and, although he is pleasant enough, the Prince quickly becomes suspicious of the man. After touring the arena, the Prince is approached by Shoon, a gladiator. After hearing the Prince voice his discontent on the treatment of the gladiators during his tour of Stormfist, Shoon decides that the Prince is the one who can help him. There have been strange noises coming from the basement of the arena of late, and someone needs to check it out. After investigating, the Prince learns that Euram Barows's gladiator, Zegai, is conspiring with Armes. Gizel's victory seems almost absolute, and it's clear that Arshtat , Ferid , and Sialeeds are not pleased with this. However, a mysterious swordsman, student of the Rolundier Haia, the famous instructor from Kanakan, is winning like lightning. His name is Belcoot, and Ferid asks the Prince to go investigate him. A foreigner, Belcoot is in danger from patriotic people who want a noble to marry the Princess. The Prince rescues Belcoot several times, but that doesn't prevent him from losing to Gizel in the final match. Belcoot appeared to have been drugged, although Dr. Murad could find nothing wrong with Belcoot. Gizel is the victor. As the royal party leaves, Gizel sees off the royal family. The Prince notices just how calm and cool his family is, despite how they know Gizel's treacherous actions. He attempts to follow their example. The Prince takes Lymsleia to do her engagement ceremonies, where the two children discuss with Sialeeds about the missing Dawn Rune. After the ceremony, some time passes. The engagement banquet is coming up, and the royal family, minus the Prince and Lymsleia , have been planning what to do with the Godwins. The Prince goes to see his mother one night, and the Queen talks to him. The famliy has been planning, and they will not let Lord Godwin have his way with the country. But the Queen does fear that things will become much more difficult for both the Prince and Lymsleia . She hugs her son closely, and tells him she's quite proud of him. She tells him he'll probably have to do a lot of difficult things in the future. Gizel comes to Sol-Falena for the engagement banquet. The Prince is angry with the farce of this banquet, but Sialeeds calms him, saying he must act like the Royal Family is ignorant of Gizel's schemes. When Gizel springs his trap, though, the family is ready. Gizel's troops are amazingly strong, and soon overwhelm the palace, but the Prince and Sialeeds fight off some assassins. They meet with Georg who tells them the Queen and Ferid have perished. Saddened, Georg informs the Prince that they must flee. But the Prince wants to go rescue his sister. He knows they'll use Lymsleia as a puppet Queen and won't stand for it. However, the Prince would never make it to her. The Princess is with her bodyguard Miakis and Galleon , so she's in good hands. But the Prince refuses to listen to reason and is punched out by Lyon or leaves with the crew by choice depending on the selected path. The Prince eventually leads an uprising against the Godwins. Initially housed by the Barows, but the Prince leaves them after he discovers that the Barows faction, and not Lordlake, had stolen the Dawn Rune. The Dawn Rune then chooses the Prince as a host, and with that, he is granted the power to fight and rescue his sister. The Prince recruits the disenfranchised factions of Falena to lead against the Godwins. Lordlake, Lelcar, Estrise, Sable, Beaver Lodge, and finally, the dwarves. Through the tactical advice of Lucretia Merces , the Prince successfully leads campaigns against the Godwins. Sialeeds betrays the Prince, however, and uses the counterpart to the Dawn Rune, the Twilight Rune, as well as thwart the Prince's attempt to rescue Lymsleia . But, despite overwhelming odds, the Prince succeeds in taking back Falena from the Godwins. The Prince is known to be like both of his parents, possessing the political savvy of his mother and the strength of his father. He is devoted to his family, he dotes on his little sister, and, despite his aunt's treachery, he will not allow Georg to hurt her. TRIVIA
