Ariathain Er'Olathe (ar-ya-THANE er-oh-LOTH)

Ariathain Er'Olathe is the younger brother of Fiaéain IV, the ruling Queen of Olathe. As Ariathain is the grandson of the previous monarch, Fiaéain II, he is a prince, but for most of his adult life, he has eschewed that title. Rather, Ariathain is known publicly by a lesser title of his, Duke of Olathe. His rejection of the title of prince is, to some degree, a practical one: as he is younger than Fiaéain IV, he has never had any significant chance of taking the throne, especially after the birth of his niece, Crown Princess Fiaéain V. Indeed, Ariathain has rather happily retreated into the shadows; never one to draw much attention to himself, Ariathain has quietly found a comfortable role for himself as a scholar and patron of the arts. However, he has taken care to ensure a place of power for his three children, who largely have greater importance to the nation of Olathe than Ariathain himself.
Unlike his sister, Ariathain faced few impositions upon his first (and only) marriage; though his family appreciated his choice of partner, a margravine who was the sole inheritor of the fortunes of the well-established House Uhl'Ithenan, his marriage was first and foremost for love. His wife, Lady Merai Uhl'Ithenan, is an adept court politician who has enabled her husband to remain in the background while maneuvering their children into roles of importance. Their three children include Lady Arhenna Uhl'Ithenan, Earl of Ithenan and Archknight of the Lordsworn's Order, Lord Arago Uhl'Ithenan, a well-educated and popular socialite, and Lady Arináea Uhl'Ithenan, a young but prodigious sorceress with a powerful Lunar Gift.
