Darious the Bold

The ruler of the city-state of Xahar. Darious is a Chosen — touched by divine forces, similar to the Fellowship's members. Rules under the Haboon religious tradition. In later episodes, Darious kidnaps Lady Livia — an act of aggression that transforms Xahar from a distant reference into a direct antagonist. Represents a fundamentally different model of power from Titus: bold action and religious backing vs. moral authority and the Dream. [Later campaign arcs]
