I. The Farukan Kingdom

---

Click to view more about the Faruka.

Beginnings—Taikon was born to Queen Naya and King Mardok. He is the firstborn son and thus was the heir of the Farukan Kingdom until his exile at two years of age. As a royal of the Faruka, Taikon learned much about the ways of other cultures and religions. He has retained a desire for the pursuit of knowledge despite no longer agreeing with the methods used by the Queen.

Exile— Being a prince, Taikon was betrothed to a woman from an early age. He noticed that he felt no sexual attraction toward her or anyone else. He met Cella, a coyote from an enslaved clan, not long after his second birthday. Strangely, he felt desire and romantic attraction toward her, and wed her in secret. Queen Naya discovered this unworthy coupling and had Cella killed not long after she announced that she was pregnant to Taikon. Queen Naya exiled him and stripped him of his title, forever staining him with bitterness.
