The younger two of the three Enchanter Kings. Art by Dave Windett.
The Enchanter Kings are three middle-aged foxes that rule over the Nameless Zone. Two of them are unnamed, while a third, Shirob, was once captured and turned into the monstrous Trogg, before reverting back to his former self. The trio are fairly cowardly and pacifistic, now sharing their rule with goblin Roubal.
History[]
There was once a time where the three Enchanter Kings ruled peacefully over the Nameless Zone, acting as kindly advisors to their kingdom. The more elderly and vastly superior magic user Shirob accidentally contacted "The Evil One" (perhaps a precursor to The Dark One), the experience driving him insane and turning him into what we now know as Trogg. Without informing his fellows, Trogg fled to the Land Beyond and began his own goblin army, building up an invasion force capable of overthrowing his former home. Fearful of this, the two remaining Kings summoned their champion, Miles "Tails" Prower, to fight Trogg and prevent him from crossing the Dimension Bridge. Tails was accidentally successful and prevented the third King from returning home.
Angered, Trogg tricked the Kings with a faint message stating that Shirob was still alive and needed help. The Kings sent Tails and Errol Blackthorn to rescue him, but discovered Trogg's origins and fled home, vaguely inferring what happened to the Kings. However, they were later captured by Trogg's forces and forced to turn into monsters by the power of Trogg and The Dark One. With the help of Knuckles the Echidna and Morain, Tails threw the Dark Orb into the Non-existent space and reverted all three Kings into their fox selves.
This time of peace lasted for many years, until the goblin kingdom decided to rise up even stronger than before. Fearful of an all-out war, the Kings negotiated a peace treaty with Roubal that saw them lose some of their power and forced to serve them one day a year. The Kings were understandably unhappy with the terms but agreed to avoid a battle. Things would get worse with the introduction of a trade route between the two regions, but the Kings appeared resigned to prevent such progress.
