Shameus Payme

Dwarven Emperor whose family built the glorious city of Xalyon’s Crest and has ruled it since the beginning of recorded history. Just before the Great Flood, Shameus set sail on his annual voyage to the Crag of Kymia and was never heard from again. He became Emperor at the age of 34, just a young dwarf, and had yet to choose a wife at the time of his disappearance, leaving no heir to the throne. His closest cousin, Haegar, son of Shameus’s uncle, staked his claim of the throne as the closest kin to Shameus. Without proof that Shameus is dead, Califast remains steadfast in his rule, maintaining that Haegar cannot ascend the throne while Shameus is still alive.
