King Cassius Estagund & Queen Karmina Asante-Estagund

The current king and queen of Ormond. Best known for how their marriage came to be, a tale still told and laughed about around the court. Cassius was always a hopeless romantic, more interested in finding someone to shower in affection than a lover to throw away as his brothers did.

His father had arranged a marriage to a foreign princess. The sickly, stuck-up, sort who took no interest in him. It only made matters worse when a young woman caught his eye. Karmina was a common merchant girl, who came to sell gemstones. Her beauty was what caught his eye, but as they began to meet more, and talk with each other, he found himself falling in love with her.

The king disapproved of their union, but they were determined to marry. After long weeks of bickering, the king weighted his options. Though the king had sons who could take the throne instead, Cassius was his favorite, and the one he had poured the most resources and preparation into. The king relented and allowed the two to marry
