Thesan

High Lord of the Dawn Court · the gilded healer-king

Thesan

The High Lord who glowed brightest of all seven. A healer crowned in permanent sunrise, ruling by light instead of force.

The quietest of the seven High Lords of Prythian — a diplomat among warlords, a court of healers and peacekeepers at his back, and a Peregryn captain at his side he hid under tyranny and claimed openly the moment it fell. The soft one. We noticed.
