King Emild was the ruler of Emild. The party never gets to meet him, as the real King Emild was sacrificed to Iom by Warderer early in the war between Cypress and Iom, and no hint is given of who his successor would be. The King seen is actually Gordon of Iom, who impersonated the diseased king for a time, using Emild as a base of operation to steal the Sword of Hajya from Cypress. When the Cypress army came for the sword, however, he abandoned his disguise.
Chester and May, the only other citizens of Emild seen in the games, were concerned more with avenging the blow struck against Emild than with the ascension of a new king, though Chester at least expressed optimism that the country could be rebuilt.
