Marquis Razaq Vorr'Khal
Title: Marquis of the Dyensur Strait | Ruler of Huzachi & Ral'Veda
Age: 23 (Born 451 AEL)
Race: Human (Vorr’Khal Dynasty)
Personality: Brash, indulgent, and ruthless—mistaking power for entitlement.
Domain: The island south of Granheim, governing the bustling Port of Huzachi and the mountain city of Ral'Veda.
Background & Rise to Power
Born the son of Lady Nadira Vorr’Khal, who ruled the island for over 40 years before her untimely passing in 473 AEL under mysterious circumstances.
Razaq was not raised to rule—his mother had favored his younger sister, but upon her unexpected death, he was thrust into the role of Marquis before he was ready.
Arrogant and resentful, Razaq sees his title as a means to indulge his vices, treating Huzachi as his personal playground.
He spends lavishly on extravagant feasts, private mercenary companies, and brutal entertainment, disregarding the welfare of his people in favor of personal pleasure.
Razaq’s View on Power:
"What good is power if you do not use it? If you do not take what you want, someone else will."
Current Rule & Conflicts
Huzachi thrives on trade, piracy, and river commerce, but Razaq’s heavy-handed rule has made foreign traders wary of dealing with him.
Ral’Veda, the inland city near the mountain base, is in decline, as Razaq neglects infrastructure and governance.
Pirates and rogue mercenaries grow bold, seeing Razaq’s lack of discipline as an opportunity to carve out their own power.
The Sultan tolerates him for now, hoping he will either learn or fall before becoming a true liability.
Relations & Reputation
Sultan Grada Vorr’Khal (His Uncle): Frustrated by his recklessness, but unwilling to remove him just yet.
Other Nobles: View him as a disgrace and a child who wields a sword too heavy for his hand.
Milim Tsunemori: Sees him as a fool who will eventually ruin himself—but is willing to exploit his recklessness for her benefit.
Ellenore Basara: Wants nothing to do with him, but keeps a careful eye on Huzachi’s growing instability.
On Nobility:
"The others whisper about me. Let them whisper—I drink from a golden cup while they drown in duty."
