It was because of this that she was believed to have the ability to learn the art of magic. When she was old enough to learn one of the Court Mages attempted to train her in the art but it was quickly discovered that she was not able to practice the art. She has a very intense sense of duty to her father and her kingdom, while she does wish for her freedom to marry who she wanted, like her father did before her, she is willing to do what it takes to help her father and her home succeed. [b]Other:[/b] Annalise was born blind in her right eye so she can be a little clumsy at times and lacks proper depth perception.[/hider] [hider=Prince Gil Jalal] [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPk5zLIUcAEsIe0.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Gil Jalal [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Bio(optional):[/b] The 3rd son to the King of the Orc ruled desert Kingdom of Afdan.

Many nomadic tribes existed within the country each filled with fierce warriors. Orc were viewed by the rest of the kingdoms as brutish and savage. In most cases they were correct. Many kingdoms took to exiling criminals, traitors, and deserters to the country, intending it to be a punishment. Those who were exiled here soon found out that though the Orcs of the country were indeed brutes, they were also willing to learn about the world outside of their own realm. The Orcs of Afdan accepted those who were exiled into their tribes so long as the individuals respected their rules and ways of life. Slowly as the tribes took on more people of all races a true country began to form. The dwarves brought with them knowledge of metal and ore, the humans agriculture and livestock, the elves magic. As the country grew it became a melting pot of many different cultures and the nomadic ways of the old Orcs, though not entirely gone, became less of a necessity and more of a way of distributing goods from one tribe to another. However each tribe still saw themselves as separate from the others, only trading among the others because it benefited them. Eventually, as with most new civilizations, a power struggle began, as each tribe, with their own Chief, began fighting for land and resources. After all, resources were few and far between in the desert. Simple squabbles became full blown wars until finally one of the Orc Chiefs, came up with an idea. The Chiefs of each tribe would fight in 1v1 battle against another, moving up the ranks as they won until only one was victorious. The winner would be made Chief of Chiefs and their tribe would become the new united nation’s capital. All losing Chiefs would answer to the winner but still maintain their tribe. Any disputes on land and resources would be handled by the Chief of Chiefs and his word would be final. The official Kingdom of Afdan is a fairly new kingdom only about half a century old, still consisting of a variety of tribes, each with their own Chief who answers to the “Chief of Chiefs” or to other kingdoms, the “King” of Afdan. The Orc Dumag Jalal, the winner of “The Great Chief Battle” Became the ruler of this new Kingdom at the Young Age of 20. His human wife Daphne Jalal, the Queen, has been instrumental in assisting the tribes in coming together. The pair have 3 sons. Dumag Jalal II, 25, the eldest and heir to the throne. Uram Jalal, 23, the middle and commander of the Afdan army. Gil Jalal, 19, the youngest and the one who was sent to marry a Princess of the Astalian Kingdom.[/hider] [/hider]
