Dax

Dax is the current king of Firgaard and Asha's brother.

Appearance
Dax is a handsome young man with brown hair and brown eyes. His fingertips are callused.

Early Life
During his youth, Dax spent the summers with the House of Song as part of an effort to foster peace with the scrublanders. There he became friends with Essie, Jas, and Roa, the latter of whom he fell irrevocably in love with; Theo, a rival for Roa's affection, bullied him cruelly.

Essie saved him from falling to his death when the roof began to break beneath his feet by pulling him out of the way, and she died in his place. Roa blamed him for her twin sister's death, causing their relationship to sour on her end. When Dax's mother died, the scrublanders turned their grief and anger on him, and Roa's father locked him in an interior room to protect him. Once it was safe enough to do so, he was sent home.

The Last Namsara
Dax, Asha's brother and the prince of Firgaard, is first mentioned when a messenger rides to Asha's dragon-hunting party to inform her that Dax and Jarek have returned from the scrublands, where they were attempting to negotiate peace with the scrublanders.
