Mirza

Mirza is the son of the Divine King, one of the very few heirs born to the Great Lion of the Lion's Regency. He was the first child born in nearly 300 years to the King.

Mirza was raised as a prince within the royal palace, his education orchestrated by the Regent. A quiet child rarely allowed outside the palace walls, he had few friends, mostly from the children of the staff and guards. He was taught primarily court skills, including music, several types of stitching and crafting, and an extensive history of the Lion's Regency. He was not instructed in politics or defense on the command of the Regent. This oversight was secretly corrected by members of the Royal Guard and his childhood friends but still remain weaknesses.

Mirza came of age in year ### with the next council set for two years after, when he was twenty. Mirza went missing several days before the council began. While his disappearance was officially kept a secret there were rumors among the general public. Whether he had been assassinated (as many previous heirs had been), kidnapped, or had left of his own volition was not known.
