The Chosen
A group of 5 individuals directly selected by Jadifar II to be the embodiment of his core tenets. These tenets are Curiosity, Cunning, Fervor, Devotion, and Insight. To receive an instruction from one of these individuals is to be given a command by the emperor himself. They each bear significant power, but also immense responsibility as the representations of the ideal soul of the empire.
Rowena Deepdelve
Known for insatiable curiousity and mechanical tinkering, Rowena established herself even before attending the Arcane University with her research on tying magical items to extraplanar anchors proving her ingenuity and thoroughness to the universty's masters. After graduating she focused largely on executing her thesis which gained her entry, attempting to uncover the methods of creating items referred to as Tokens but has proven largely unsuccesful in her endevaors. However she has designed new methods of enchanting and magical attunement in the process that have allowed practitioners to create far stronger magical items than previously thought possible.

Edmar Cu
An immigrant from Subet after he sought a life beyond what the trader nation could provide. Edmar found his purpose in serving the military arm of the empire. He became known for his tactical prowess and ability to wield information as a weapon, preventing calamity from inside and outside the empire's boundries. Edmar has been deployed in the northeastern section of the empire near Kebbik after Kespia attacked Tyrian citizens on Tyrian land to direct and resolve the problem as he deemed neccesary.

Isolde Stormclaw
A rare sight in Tethys, Isolde is a Wyvernkin, a decendant of a well recorded lineage of humanoids who made pacts with Wyverns before The Age of Malediction that have survived in the isolated area known as The Deadlands. Her lineage lends her unrivaled strength and durability in hand to hand combat, and her uncanny ability to intuit her opponents on the battlefield with ease has elevated her to the status of a Hero long before she was selected as a Chosen. However her desire to face conflict directly puts her at odds with her peers as her ingenuity makes up for her lack of prepardeness. Rumors say that she was last seen near The Deadlands crossing the Karsk Mountains as part of an empire mission.

Orik Ironroot
You will likely hear Orik before you see him, as he proclaims the wonders of the Empire, the Gods, and the need for all to devote their lives to them. He has a long history of mixing magical studies with religious teachings and pushed for the inclusion of places of worship at the Arcane University, believing that through prayer greater insight will be gained. He was exiled from numerous institutions for spreading the concept of what he called "The Unified Body". A theory that each self aware creature contains a natural connection to each plane of existence, and therefore each Diety. The living beings have the ability to create imbalance between these planes, for example if massive amounts of people become vengeful and hateful, it will cause disruption amongst the planes as each person adds the smallest of weights to the scale that is the perfect balance of the Unified Body. When this happens it will reach a tipping point where the planes will attempt to rebalance, taking the excess "weight" and dumping it back onto the plane where Tethys resides, creating pure chaos.

Thalendir Moonshadow
If there is anyone who could pry information from an ordinary stone it would be Thalendir. Believed to run a spy network across the empire, He has been in the information game since he was a child growing up destitute on the streets outside of Arx. Playing the game of politics within the upper echelons of those chosen to run matters of state by Jadifar II comes as natural to him as breathing. It is believed that Thalendir and Edmar are partners due to how often they were seen in the capital before war with Kespia began 15 years ago.
