People: The King
The first king was Kenichi Abe, a Daemon who was instrumental in protecting Meridian before it was claimed by the prophets as the seat of the king (which was Hamlin's great idea to end the constant struggle for control of the city). He was crowned October 1st, 300 years ago (from 2007, the start of the game).

Our most recent king was Thongchai Saenamuang, crowned October 1st in the Year of Burning Mountain (2007). He disappeared in the mass disappearance incident in January of the Year of Determined Exploration (2009).

There was an interim, unnamed NPC king until October 1st 2009 when Jackson Willis was seated to replace him. Willis is an NPC that any player can use to effect change and move plot forward within the game.

The king's basic duties are to maintain the integrity of Parliament, to protect the people, and to ensure that the seat of power remains under his or her control.
