Menassel
Prince of Dimrillien at the start of the New Empire.
Menassel was the only child of Sabtezan and Hannal. Through his mother, he was descended from the royal family of Dimrillien. Too young to travel to Tanurel, Menassel thus escaped The Ruination.
Throughout The Anarchy, the young Menassel was sheltered in Cen Callin. When the New Empire was proclaimed, the remaining High Elf rulers accepted a reduced status as princes rather than kings. Menassel thus became the first Ruling Prince of Dimrillien.
Menassel married Sarel, a noblewoman from a cadet branch of the old Imperial family. They had two children, Rebriel and Tonebah.
Menassel emerged as the most important Elf in the New Empire. He ruled Dimrillien for half a millennium, and advised many human Emperors. He promoted trade and banking, and was seen as a patron of the merchant classes. Menassel also ensured that the Second Library remained in elven control by annexing the land around it as an enclave of Dimrillien during the Siggish Wars.
Menassel was succeeded by his daughter, Rebriel.
