Orchenis Clunethar

Prince Orchenis Clunethar is the Prince of Thu-Athamar, husband of Uleviän Clunetharan, and son of the previous Prince, Orchena Clunethar.

Personality
Orchenis disliked the backbiting nature of Amalo's prelacy.

Life
Orchenis was the son of Orchena, and inherited the role of Prince of Thu-Athamar from him.

It's possible that the Tethimadeise wealth was "a strong motivation" in the arrangement for the marriage of Orchenis and Uleviän. Orchenis married Uleviän in Amalo just prior to the events of The Goblin Emperor. Varenechibel IV, Nemolis Drazhar, Nazhira Drazhar, and Ciris Drazhar were in attendance, possibly as a harbinger of peace between Varenechibel IV and the Tethimada. The Vermilion Opera put on The Masque of the Night Empress to celebrate.

Eshevis Tethimar, along with the last Duke Tethimel, a number of Curneisei, and sympathetic nobles, concocted a plan later known as the Tethimadeise Conspiracy wherein Eshevis would marry Vedero Drazhin, and then a bomb would be placed on an airship carrying Varenechibel IV and his three eldest sons, killing them, and placing Eshevis as regent for Idra Drazhar. The Curneisei changed the plan in order to avoid placing Eshevis on the throne, and placed the bomb on the Wisdom of Choharo after Orchenis' marriage, but before Eshevis was married to Vedero. During Varenechibel IV's and his sons' departure from Orchenis' wedding via the airship, the bomb went off, killing all four of them.

Orchenis attended Maia Drazhar's coronation, where he swore a vow of loyalty to Maia with a haunted look, and Maia told him, quietly, “Neither blame nor guilt belongs to you, so do not hold them so closely.” This seemed to startle Orchenis, but also made him more thoughtful.

Orchenis resided in the Amal'theileian.

After Eshevis' failed assassination of Maia, and the reveal of the conspiracy, Lord Chancellor Eiru Berenar recommended Maia summon Orchenis and Uleviän to the Untheileneise Court to affirm their loyalty. Maia sent for them, and Orchenis and Uleviän admitted to knowing nothing of the Tethimadeise schemes. After Tethimel's execution, and with Eshevis dead, Maia gave custody of Uleviän's three sisters to Orchenis.

Orchenis requested that the Archprelate assign Thara Celehar to Amalo as a clerical Witness for the Dead because the city had no Witnesses who could hear the dead.
