Tomavaan Enturci, often known as the Hive King, is the eighth king of the Aerthis Monarchy.

As the Aerthis Monarchy has lived in a time of prosperity for at least 400 years, and his predecessor passed peacefully of old age at 108, one would expect King Enturci's reign to be uneventful and pleasant. Instead, Tomavaan Enturci's reign is fraught with controversy and rumors, the height of these rumors earning him the nickname Hive King.

Strange magic has existed in the swamp of Aerthis before Enturci, and before the Mjilikae, but it is unclear how one Mjilikae would be granted the ability to control an entire population's minds. After his coronation, however, a "sickness" spread in the castle, with symptoms including glassy eyes and the infected having a docile, unquestioning nature. People living in the castle would seem forgetful, losing track of tasks given to them easily - unless the person giving the task was of a higher rank.
