Dreaming Autumn (Patreon)

 One of royal family. Long ago in his ever lasting sleep.

This one's name is Gharay, also known as "Paleblood".
His  rule was shortest though remembered with grateful smiles - he found his  end because of barely working lungs and was also seen in red clothes  most of the time - so that blood he was coughing with won't be visible  on his robes.
He lined the longest trading route across the  continent, was dealing with thieves on royal service. Greatly expanded  capital territories.

Same as he, his sister met up early end - and his descendants are now the ruling hands of the race.
Though  these two, brother and sister, carry the same blood as their father -  and are aware of the possibility of meeting the same early end as their  ancestors.
