With the help of her childhood friend Erenville, this beloved member of Tuliyollal's ruling family has recruited the Warrior of Light to aid her in the rite of succession. Wuk Lamat must win the throne if she wishes to preserve a peaceful nation for her people, and so has joined the contest against rival claimants of formidable ability.

A member of the gleaners' guildship in Sharlayan, Erenville hails from the continent of Tural, and has taken on the role of guide for the Warrior of Light during the rite of succession. Though he appears to harbor reservations after learning the contest involves the fabled city of gold, the source of his misgivings remains unclear.

Belonging to both the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and the Students of Baldesion, this steadfast Lalafell possesses the Echo, allowing her to sense the intent of others. Eager to put her newfound pictomancy skills to the test, Krile sails westward in pursuit of answers, hoping to uncover the truth of her grandfather Galuf's dealings in Tural.

Respected for his brilliant mind and practical attitude, this adoptive son of Tuliyollal's ruling family hopes to usher his home into a new age of prosperity. It remains to be seen if technology and innovation will prove sufficient allies to overcome his fellow claimants in the rite of succession.

Thancred is an Archon in the Scions of the Seventh Dawn who specializes in survival and subterfuge, and a mysterious petition now beckons him to Tural to leverage these very skills. His compatriots have pledged their aid to Wuk Lamat, but will he join them, or perhaps walk an altogether different path?

An Elezen student of prophecy known for his cryptic utterances, Urianger is considered one of the Scions' most erudite Archons. Although he has joined Thancred on a journey to the distant continent of Tural, his reasons for doing so are as enigmatic as the man himself.

The First Promise of Tuliyollal, Zoraal Ja serves as the commander of the Landsguard, the redoubtable warriors who preserve the nation's peace. His martial prowess is rumored to rival even that of the Dawnservant, with many regarding him as the foremost candidate in the rite of succession.

Lacking direct ties to the Dawnservant, this vainglorious two-headed claimant earned his place in the rite of succession by triumphing in a martial tournament. He is loudly contemptuous of other peoples—his derision of "inferior" one-heads extending even to his fellow Mamool Ja.

Gulool Ja Ja is both founder and current ruler of the nation of Tuliyollal. A two-headed Mamool Ja possessed of impressive strength and shrewd sagacity, the Dawnservant is also known by the twin titles of the Vow of Resolve and the Vow of Reason. He appears to have a past connection with Krile's grandfather Galuf.

In the course of their journey, the Warrior of Light will encounter this maiden shrouded in mystery. What secrets lie behind that tinge of melancholy in her gentle gaze...?
