Rulers of Troy, guardians of prophecy, and witnesses to the fall of a kingdom.
The House of Priam ruled from the magnificent city of Troy, known in the ancient world as Wilusa and Ilium. Rising above the plains of Anatolia, Troy stood as one of the great powers of the Bronze Age, its wealth drawn from trade, diplomacy, and the strength of its royal bloodline. King Priam and Queen Hecuba presided over a vast household of princes and daughters whose lives would shape the fate of kingdoms. From the birth of Paris, marked by prophecy, to the fall of Hector, Troy’s greatest defender, the House of Priam became the heart of a war that would echo across generations. Here begins the lineage of Troy’s kings, queens, warriors, and daughters whose choices turned legend into history and history into myth.
Priam
King of Troy, last ruler of the Dardanian line. A seasoned monarch who chose duty to crown and kingdom above the bonds of fatherhood, Priam must face the consequences of that choice as prophecy unfolds and the fate of his children reshapes the destiny of Troy.\

Hecuba
Queen of Troy and mother of princes and daughters marked by prophecy. As the divide between herself and Priam widens, regret follows her choices, and grief hardens into resolve as she fights to protect what remains of her children and her city.
Hektor
Prince of Troy and steadfast defender of his people. As he takes command of the war against the Greeks, he accepts the burden of duty, fully aware that his fate is tied to the day he must stand alone against Achilles.
Andromache
Princess of Thebes and wife of Hektor, whose life becomes bound to Troy’s final days. A devoted mother and loyal wife, she endures the fall of her world and must find the strength to survive in the aftermath of war.
Paris
Prince of Troy, spared at birth despite prophecy that he would destroy the city. His choices force Priam to confront the cost of choosing fatherhood in defiance of fate, as love and desire pull Troy toward war.
