Empress Zafira Araunya Asiran's SIBLINGS ::
Brother :
Brother :
Prince Kairos Ibram Asiran
- Age: Deceased (35)
- Role: Elder brother to Empress Zafira and Viviana’s father.
- Cause: Kairos' death in the Mis'aru civil war was a direct result of his staunch loyalty to the throne and his unwavering commitment to preserving the stability of the realm. As a respected military leader, Kairos was deeply involved in the conflict, fighting for the current monarch and the traditional order of Mis'aru.
- His marriage to Lady Mireya of House Narul was both a personal and political alliance, one that symbolized unity between the nobility and the common people, strengthening his position as a key figure in the conflict.
- However, his loyalty to the throne ultimately led to his tragic end. As the civil war intensified, Kairos found himself at the forefront of battles that not only threatened the throne but also the very fabric of Mis'aru’s societal order. His role as a military leader made him a primary target for insurgent factions, who sought to dismantle the old power structures. His deep love for Mireya and their shared vision for Mis'aru made him a symbol of the old guard, and this painted a target on his back.
- In a particularly decisive battle, Kairos was ambushed by enemy forces, and despite his martial prowess and bravery, he was overwhelmed. His death marked the loss of one of Mis'aru's most loyal and capable military leaders, dealing a significant blow to the throne's efforts to maintain control during the war. His passing also left his daughter, Viviana, without both parents, further entrenching the narrative that the conflict not only destroyed families but also the heart of the kingdom itself.
Brother’s Consort :
Lady Mireya Narul Asiran
- Age: Deceased (24)
- Role: Wife to Empress Zafira elder brother and Viviana’s mother.
- Viviana’s mother, Lady Mireya, was born into the Narul family and, from a young age, was instilled with a deep love for the land’s lore and ancient customs. As the eldest daughter, she was taught the sacred responsibilities that came with her family’s name, from ceremonial duties to fostering the Narul legacy through acts of charity and diplomacy. She was known for her compassion and gentleness, as well as her subtle strength—qualities that made her beloved among the people of Mis'aru and the noble families alike.
- Mireya married Prince Kairos Asiran as part of a strategic alliance that sought to unify the royal family with the Narul house, blending their mystical heritage with the Asiran family’s political influence. She took to her role as a royal with grace, offering counsel in matters of diplomacy and tradition. During the civil war, however, Mireya’s gentle nature became her vulnerability. She was fiercely committed to protecting her daughter, Viviana, and in the chaos, she managed to hide Viviana before falling to the violence that erupted around her and Prince Kairos. Her sacrifice left an indelible mark on House Narul, which honors her memory through various rites and festivals that celebrate her spirit and compassion.
- Mireya's death in the Mis'aru civil war was ultimately the result of her deep devotion to both her family and the kingdom, paired with the inherent vulnerability of her compassionate nature. As the eldest daughter of House Narul, Mireya carried the weight of her family's mystical legacy and traditions. Her marriage to Prince Kairos Asiran was a pivotal political alliance, meant to unite the power of House Narul and the Asiran monarchy, blending mystical traditions with the political power of the crown. Despite the often harsh nature of royal life, Mireya was known for her gentleness, empathy, and diplomatic skill, making her well-loved among both the nobility and the common people.
- However, in the chaos of the civil war, her desire to protect her family—especially her young daughter Viviana—became her undoing. Mireya’s natural instinct was to shield her daughter from the horrors of the conflict, and in doing so, she made personal sacrifices, often putting herself in harm's way to ensure Viviana’s safety. This selflessness, though admirable, left her vulnerable to the violence and bloodshed of the war. In the midst of the chaos, as Prince Kairos fought to protect the throne, Mireya took the critical step of hiding Viviana from the conflict’s brutal forces. Tragically, this act of love and devotion was what led to her untimely death.
- Mireya was caught in the violence that engulfed the royal family, and despite her efforts to shield herself and her daughter, she succumbed to the onslaught. Her death became a symbol of the sacrifices made by those who sought to protect the future of Mis'aru. Following her death, her memory was honored by House Narul through various rituals and festivals, ensuring that her legacy of compassion and selflessness would never be forgotten. Her passing not only left a void in her family but also a lasting impact on the kingdom, as she had been one of the last figures who truly embodied the old spirit of unity and tradition in a time of profound division.

Known for her charitable work and interest in foreign cultures, Lyria is a popular figure among the people of Mis'aru. She welcomed Viviana’s return warmly and has been a strong advocate for integrating her into the royal family fully.
Brother :
Lord Siran Darius Asiran
- Age: Deceased (25)
- Role: A general and military strategist; younger brother to Empress Zafira, and paternal uncle to Viviana,
- Cause: Siran’s death in the Mis'aru civil war was ultimately the result of his unwavering loyalty to his sister, Empress Zafira, and his dedication to defending her rule. As a highly respected military leader within the royal forces, Siran was known for his tactical brilliance and ability to maintain order and discipline in the midst of conflict. His commitment to preserving the stability of Mis’aru and supporting his sister’s reign was not only a personal duty but a core element of his identity.
- When the civil war erupted, Siran took command of key strategic positions to protect the crown and ensure Zafira's authority was upheld. His strength in battle and experience made him a formidable leader on the front lines, and he became a key figure in the defense of the royal forces against both internal and external threats.
- However, his loyalty ultimately led to his downfall. In the midst of intense fighting and political turmoil, Siran was thrust into direct combat with those who sought to destabilize the throne. In one fateful confrontation, Siran faced overwhelming odds as he worked to hold off enemy forces and protect the royal family. His leadership and tactical skills kept his forces organized, but his unyielding dedication to his sister’s rule meant that he took risks others might not have, positioning himself at the heart of the battle.
- In a final act of defiance, Siran was fatally wounded in an effort to safeguard Zafira and ensure the survival of the royal house. His death, though a tragic loss to the kingdom and his family, became a symbol of the extreme sacrifices made by those who fought to defend Mis'aru’s throne. His loyalty to Empress Zafira and his belief in the preservation of the royal bloodline ultimately cost him his life, but his memory lived on as an emblem of the unbreakable bond between siblings and the cost of loyalty in a time of civil strife.

House Narul :
A Legacy of Heritage and Mysticism::
A Legacy of Heritage and Mysticism::
Matriarch:
Lady Samira Dae Narul
- Age: Deceased
- Role: Head of House Narul and Viviana’s maternal grandmother
- Cause: Lady Samira's death in the Mis'aru civil war was a result of her status as both a revered spiritual leader and a key figure within the Narul family. Her wisdom and strong connection to the ancient traditions of Mis'aru made her an influential and powerful figure in the court, one that many political factions sought to either sway or eliminate to strengthen their own positions.
- As the head of House Narul during the war, Samira was a target for those who wanted to weaken the family’s cultural influence, especially given her deep involvement in the spiritual and ritualistic practices that gave House Narul its prestigious status. Her leadership was not only based on mysticism but also on maintaining the stability and unity of her family, which made her a figurehead of both hope and resistance during the civil unrest.
- However, her strong attachment to her late daughter Mireya and her emotional vulnerability regarding Viviana’s reappearance left her somewhat isolated. While she had the support of the Narul family’s more loyal members, her leadership could not fully overcome the internal strife and external pressures placed on her. Additionally, her profound spiritual devotion made her a symbol for those seeking to preserve Mis'aru's traditions, but it also painted a target on her back for those who viewed her as a threat to the new political order they sought to impose.
- In the chaos of the civil war, Lady Samira’s refusal to abandon the values she held dear — values that clashed with the agendas of rising factions — led to her downfall. She became a martyr for the old ways of Mis'aru, fighting to uphold her family’s heritage until the end. Her death, while a tragic loss, also marked the collapse of House Narul’s power during the civil conflict, as it deprived the family of its spiritual and political backbone.
Patriarch:
Lord Amiran Narul
- Age: Deceased
- Role: Former head of House Narul and Viviana’s maternal grandfather
- Cause: Lord Amiran's death, which occurred just before the onset of the civil war, played a pivotal role in the Narul family's tragic downfall. As a charismatic and respected leader, Lord Amiran was a unifying figure within House Narul, holding the respect of both his allies and rivals. His death created a power vacuum, leaving his wife, Lady Samira, to step into a leadership role at a time of great political unrest. While Lady Samira proved herself strong and capable, her position was not as universally accepted, particularly by those who opposed the Narul family’s influence.
- In the chaos of the civil war, Amiran’s absence was keenly felt. His diplomatic skills and personal charm had allowed him to broker peace and alliances that kept the family strong and neutralized many threats. Without his leadership, House Narul found itself vulnerable to internal factionalism and external forces eager to seize power.
- Amiran’s passing left the family without a charismatic male figure at the helm during the war, which made it easier for rival houses to challenge their influence. The loss of Amiran’s diplomatic prowess also meant that House Narul struggled to maintain alliances, and their position in the court became increasingly precarious. His death left Lady Samira with the daunting task of holding the family together under intense pressure, and though she did so with great strength, the inability to fill Amiran’s shoes ultimately led to the weakening of the family during the war. This internal destabilization made them an easier target in the civil conflict, and, despite Lady Samira's efforts, the family’s influence was significantly diminished, contributing to the deaths and hardships that followed.
Daughter:
Lady Mireya Narul Asiran
- Age: Deceased (24)
- Role: Wife to Empress Zafira elder brother and Viviana’s mother.
- Viviana’s mother, Lady Mireya was born into the Narul family and, from a young age, was instilled with a deep love for the land’s lore and ancient customs. As the eldest daughter, she was taught the sacred responsibilities that came with her family’s name, from ceremonial duties to fostering the Narul legacy through acts of charity and diplomacy. She was known for her compassion and gentleness, as well as her subtle strength—qualities that made her beloved among the people of Mis'aru and the noble families alike.
- Mireya married Prince Kairos Asiran as part of a strategic alliance that sought to unify the royal family with the Narul house, blending their mystical heritage with the Asiran family’s political influence.
- Mireya was caught in the violence that engulfed the royal family, and despite her efforts to shield herself and her daughter, she succumbed to the onslaught. Her death became a symbol of the sacrifices made by those who sought to protect the future of Mis'aru.
Son:
Lord Arian Narul
- Age: Deceased
- Role: Lady Mireya’s younger brother and Viviana’s maternal uncle.
- Cause: Arian’s commitment to protecting House Narul’s legacy and his loyalty to the crown made him a target during the civil war in Mis'aru. His gentle yet resolute leadership style was respected among his allies but perceived as a threat by insurgent factions who saw the Narul family’s deep-rooted traditions and influence as an obstacle to their ambitions. His decision to uphold the ancient customs and remain publicly loyal to the Asiran dynasty only heightened tensions with rebel leaders seeking to reshape Mis’aru’s hierarchy.
- During the war’s height, Arian was directly involved in negotiations to broker peace, risking his safety to protect both his family and the kingdom. However, his reputation as a steadfast royalist made him a symbol of resistance. Ambushed by insurgents while attempting to secure a safe passage for his family, Arian was killed in the conflict. His death became a rallying cry for House Narul and the loyalist faction, but it also deepened the scars of the civil war, with his loss marking a tragic chapter in Mis'aru’s history.
Daughter, younger:
Lady Hala Narul
- Age: 43
- Role: Lady Mireya’s younger sister, high priestess of Mis'aru’s central temple, only remaining living member of Narul, and Viviana’s maternal aunt.
- Cause: Cause: Lady Hala's survival during the civil war can be attributed to her position within Mis'aru's religious and spiritual structure, which granted her a certain degree of protection from the violent upheaval. As a high-ranking member of the central temple, she was seen as an important spiritual leader, deeply revered by both the common people and the nobility for her role in preserving the ancient faith of Mis'aru. This elevated status within the religious hierarchy granted her a kind of immunity from the worst of the political and military violence that engulfed the realm.
- Despite the chaos and bloodshed of the civil war, Lady Hala’s position as a spiritual figure made her a symbol of continuity and tradition, which allowed her to remain untouched by the conflict. Many factions, even those opposing the Empress, respected the sacred nature of the temple and the religious leadership it provided. Additionally, Lady Hala’s focus on guiding Viviana in the Narul customs and beliefs, as well as her role in protecting the family’s heritage, meant she was seen as a custodian of the spiritual legacy rather than a political threat. This perception allowed her to stay out of the crossfire and remain a stabilizing force for both her family and the broader realm.
- Her continued survival was also aided by her influence over Viviana, as Lady Hala was considered crucial to the reintroduction of the lost royal heir to court life. Those who sought to disrupt the royal family understood the significance of Lady Hala’s role in the preservation of the Narul lineage, and her survival was seen as important for maintaining the family’s legitimacy in the eyes of the people.
Son younger:
Lord Nadir Narul
- Age: Deceased
- Role: Lady Mireya’s youngest brother, a diplomat / envoy of House Narul and Viviana’s maternal uncle.
- Cause: Nadir's diplomatic expertise and position as a trusted advisor to the Empress made him a crucial figure in the lead-up to the civil war in Mis'aru. His popularity and skill in forming alliances across noble houses and foreign courts earned him both admiration and suspicion. As tensions within Mis'aru escalated, Nadir's efforts to broker peace and maintain the delicate balance of power made him a prime target for those seeking to destabilize the kingdom and challenge the throne.
- Nadir’s reintroduction of Viviana to the court was viewed by insurgent factions as a direct challenge to their power, as it reminded them of the legitimacy and strength of the royal bloodline. His diplomatic missions, while aimed at preserving peace, were seen as acts of defiance by rebel factions who sought to weaken the Empress's reign.
- During one such mission to negotiate a ceasefire, Nadir was caught in a trap set by those seeking to dismantle the royalist cause. His calm and calculated nature, which had served him well in court, could not protect him from the increasingly violent and unpredictable nature of the war. His death was a devastating blow to House Narul, as his political acumen and ability to maintain alliances had kept the family and the kingdom from spiraling into greater chaos. Nadir's assassination marked a turning point in the civil war, pushing Mis'aru further into turmoil.
