Family and intimacies:

 

Frigid Flake: [Best friend/ secret lover] Your personal guard since youth, you grew up together and are closer than anypony else, promises he'll always be there for you as a loyal bodyguard, and while he has romantic feelings for you his loyalty and friendship is his priority. He was a unicorn but an accident with the royal wizard in 271 tuned him into a pegasus, you haven't talked about it much but he's adjusted well. Born in the year 255. Goes by the nickname of Fringe, better known than by his real name. Has begun to practice using a gem prosthetic horn. Can be a bit moody from time to time. Currently in a secret romance trio with yourself and Bloody Chalice.

Bloody Chalice: [Official Consort and Lover] A bat pony who is the Heir to the Bloodroyal family, your Consort and father to your first foal. Born in the year 258. Sweet and a little naive, was quite sensitive for coming from a tough family, but he's grown since you've first met into a proper adult (mostly). Currently in a secret romance trio with you and Frigid Flake. His family bloodline requires him to consume pony blood for his magic and stamina but he has opted to consume blood of lesser animals as to avoid offending you or any mainlander. After having a crisis of faith, he has decided to keep his path of becoming a still-pious pony but no longer engage in more scandalous acts.

Hooks: She did assist with an assassination attempt against you, but nobody else in your kingdom knows exactly who she is… unless you want them to.

Inky Tome: The royal librarian who guards the books and tomes of the royal family

Hooks: A little blunt at times, and one of the few living ponies who knows the way to access the secret chamber of the library (She cannot read anything within by magical blackout). She came to the position unplanned and with little records, so she’s not great about filling in the gaps...

 

Prisoners in your dungeon:

 

Rosesong [Imprisoned and bound]: A sadistic gray scarred pegasus with pink and yellow hair that resembles a rose petal, who is a very capable and effective combatant. A former general and lifetime friend of the warlord Heartbuck who both deceived and attacked you in an attempt to have you attack Screwbuck. She barely failed to kill you, failed to kill herself or her surviving subordinate before capture, and was under long-term interrogation personally with your spymistress. After an exhibition of Nymphadora’s threats inflicted on a different pony, she broke, and now she remains imprisoned in a near-catatonic state.

Hooks: You have her in your dungeon and broken her, you don’t think there’s anything more to get from her...

 

Dahlia Grace [Imprisoned]: A thief an con artist of many noble families, and recently, a murderer in her attempt to escape a bad score. Infamously agile, charismatic, and resilient to force, she holds many secrets about associates, fence caches, and the location of the Solarian Grimoire, though you had originally transferred her to your dungeon as an 'example' to use for Rosesong's interrogation. She provided you the location of a nearby cache in return for linens and good meals, but is no longer as happy to co-operate after having Nymphadora’s eggs actually stuffed into her.

Branch Sandsea: Half Saddle-Arabian commoner born in 251, brown mane in a bow and sandy mane covered by traditional Saddle Arabian dress is her regular look, another distant cousin you've met for the coronation and memorial of the old king.

Hook: One of the inheritors listed in the blood charter. He really doesn’t like you.

 

Governess Gallop Goldwind: A yellow and bronze earth mare, mother to Galehaut Goldwind and Governess of the eastern state of Seatrot. You haven’t seen her since you were a young filly, but you remember that she’s as stubborn as her son, though much more intelligent and mature in most regards.

Hook: The Goldwinds have a massive influence on other nobility, and unlike her son, Gallop seems to approve of you… or at least doesn’t seem to dislike you

 

Baroness Temple Melody: A noble unicorn mare of high standing, you know of her family from your childhood to be stiff and traditional. She was the most recent owner of the Solarian Grimoire before it was stolen by a thieving mare

Governess Sunrise Ripple: A noble born in 246 who’s usually in the capital to attend to the royal court, travels to get news and updates from some noble families.

Hooks: During your last visit, a unicorn went mad with dark magic, and while he understands the dangers of dark magic, he seems to operate a work environment that encourages risky behaviors for progress. He does, however, take responsibility and saftey precautions for all his subordinates when he can, even over his own desire for glory.

 

Blanca Wyrmheart: A unicorn stallion who was studying either potions or enhancement spells depending on his current whim, though a little arrogant whenever he made progress; he had fallen into using dark magic and went mad, and after a chance meeting with you during your visit to the magic guild, he attempted to enchanted your clothing with a dark armoring spell and ran away to avoid arrest.

She is a good friend of yours whenever you’ve had time to spend with her.

Hooks: She just so happens to be a distant cousin of yours AND Esker by means of a great aunt who disappeared from the family. She may be a valid inheritor on the blood charter...

Warlords, enemy tribe leaders, foreign leaders, and lackeys:

 

Graph Stormwing: A griffon pirate lord, born 251 under a lunar eclipse, almost always on the seas or in a port, but a fierce enemy who can contest any navy.

Hooks: His name still commands fear in your lands after the lost war against the pirates. Proceed with caution in any affairs he may be involved with. He is, however, possibly available for marriage if you play your cards right.

 

Adamant Hail: A pegasi warlord who rules over the Skypouncers to your south and SW.

Hooks: Your sale of lands to his envoys didn’t quite go as expected, leaving him without a key area of western Honeybark he wanted in his bartering. It’s hard to say what his opinion of you is, as you have not been acquainted in person nor received any new trade offers from the Skypouncers yet, only a warning that their trade price expectations will remain high

 

Shining Lake: An older pegasi stallion, with a jade green coat and a scar, who is the loyal trading diplomat of Adamant Hail and the Skypouncers. He has a knack for bartering, and for recognizing the positive traits in creatures around him.

After the sudden death of Steel, he failed to anticipate the treachery of his sister and is now fighting a civil war in his lands for control. He is talented with close quarters combat, and a viable to threat to most soldiers.

Hooks: Likely a colt with a stallion supremacy mindset like his father and many stallions in his lands. You may have a hard time dealing with him diplomatically. He is also a follower of Strength, any creature who follows the ‘new’ order elements will face a 50% diplomacy penalty.

 

Heart Buck: A female earth pony and would-be usurper of Steel Bucks lands, sibling of Screw Buck. With a stomp of her hoof on the ground, she can cause moderate to severe body tremors to any creature in the range of two meters, and commands the attention and loyalty of the ponies in her lands who reject the status quo.

Hooks: She tried to send an assassin party after you in a way that would blame Screw Buck. She doesn’t know that you know it was her doing all along. Your spy network also suggests she will lose the civil war without outside help.

 

Silver Scream:A female griffon who was once a hoofmaiden to the Buck twins, she did not hesitate to side with Heart as soon as she was taught to fight, and remains close to her side whenever possible, no special talent notable but she is very skilled with her claws and wing blades

 

 

Sonata Regal: A female unicorn and powerful unicorn wizard who avoided a humiliating fate by directly serving Steel Buck as his personal wizard and concubine. Might be the reason he’s suddenly dead. She has multiple combat spells, and a unique spell that exhausts any creature in its range aside from herself.
