This is a list of attendants to the sovereigns of Attolia, Eddis, and Sounis.

Attolia

Attendants to the King of Attolia

Many of the attendants to the King of Attolia were chosen because of their rank as the sons and nephews of barons of either considerable power or favour to Attolia.

• Cleon is one of the king's attendants. After the king woke up screaming from a nightmare, he told Costis that they did not have a key to the king's bedroom.
• Dionis is the nephew of a baron. His family has never supported the queen.
• Hilarion is the oldest of the king's attendants, and the second son of a coastal baron. He is one of the queen's supporters. He once tried to take the blame for one of Philologos's pranks on the king, since Philologos was the heir of a baron, but the king declined to punish either of them. He promised to pay Costis any price if he would help convince the king to get down off the palace walls.
• Ion is one of the king's attendants. He was once sent to bring Costis to the queen's guardroom. Later, the king assigned him to attend Sophos during his stay in Attolia. Has a sweetheart named Zenia. Has enough tact and nerve to stand up to the Mede Ambassador Melheret.
• Lamion is one of the king's attendants. After condescending to Philologos, Philologos responded by calling him an idiot.
• Pelles is one of the king's attendants. He was sent by the king to cancel a meeting with Baron Meinedes.
• Philologos is the youngest of the king's attendants, but the highest in rank, as the heir to a baron. Although he felt uncomfortable about all the pranks they played on the king, he himself was responsible for putting a snake in the king's bed. He was the only one of the attendants who believed that they should be punished more harshly for their misbehavior, and he is somewhat more perceptive than the king's other attendants.
• Sejanus, the second son of Baron Erondites, a former lieutenant of the Queen's Guard, one of the king's attendants. He leads and bullies the other attendants into playing pranks on the king.
• Sotis is one of the king's attendants.
• Verix, one of the king's attendants, assigned to attend to Sophos during his stay in Attolia.
