House Loaf
Realm: Ceresia
Ceresian house of the late Concordant Emperor Harlan. Steady, foundational, bureaucratic. Present at the emergency succession by custom, but barred from the throne this cycle by Concord law (no consecutive same-kingdom rule). Lord Knead serves as Imperial Court Representative — voice of process and the unfinished investigation into Harlan’s death, not a candidate for crowning.
