King Zaeem

The current King of Sardania, and one of the many sons and daughters of his father’s polygamous marriage. He came to power in 1899 after the death of his father, King Jafaar, and reorganized the previous military structure that predominantly consisted of the magic-based Jashari army and incorporated modern technology into the newly formed New Model Army made up of conscripts from all social classes. King Zaeem has also made attempts to incorporate modernised technology with the teachings of magic as he perceived from his own studies as a young man in Kondor, notably starting with the Sassani Academy of the Arcane Arts. King Zaeem summarily executed his rival brothers and half-brothers a day after his ascension to the throne and disbanded the High Council shortly afterwards, causing unrest within the kingdom.
