Know, O Beloved Reader, that the lineage of our All-Beneficent King is most royal, descending as he does from High King Ar-Azal, through King Ja-Fr, thence Grandee Makala, who did marry the Grandeya Fanesh of Antiphyllos, thus endowing the line with the Phyllocid blood of the Meritorious Zizzeen. Nonetheless, his Royal Majesty's ever-glorious descendancy is assured in the persons of his eldest daughter Maraya, the Jewel of Satakalaam, his second-daughter Lakana, the Star of the Almandine, and the young Crown Prince Azah, the Lion of Antiphyllos.
