But his Queen, Elhana, was supposedly stricken with the same fatal disease that had killed her father, King Aldreas. She lived due to the sorcery of Sephrenia, instructor of magic to the Pandions, encased in a block of crystal and doomed unless a cure could be found within a year. The corrupt and ambitious Church Primate Annias had made Ehlana's bastard cousin, the weakling Lycheas, Prince Regent and now ruled through him.
