**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** the Prince La Fireez, Prince La Fireez

**First appearance:** 0011-viii-the-first-expedition-to-impland

## Snapshot

A prince of Impland who throws his lot in with the Demons against Witchland, bound by old allegiances and the perilous arithmetic of a small kingdom caught between two warlike powers.

## Who they are

La Fireez rules Impland, a realm whose loyalty to Demonland is tested every time Witchland's fleets darken the southern sea. His position forces him to weigh honor against survival, since open defiance of Gorice invites fire and sword, while submission forfeits the friendship of Juss and the Demon lords. In the war's middle movements his choices help decide whether the Demons find friends or silence along their flanks.
