Arsaces is a dynastic name that recurs across the centuries, associated with Persian empires. The archive applies it to at least two figures who may be one or many.
Figures
- A king of about a thousand years ago, sick or crippled, who reigned in a castle.
- A mage who has taken part in combat against dragons. He is portrayed in miniaturist detail: turban and oriental robes, a rod and scrolls proper to magical practice.
Open questions
- Is the mage a descendant of the king, was the king a mage, or does the name simply recur, as names do in old houses?
