Character Notes

In the Khmer court, “Preah” (Sacred) is the standard prefix for royalty, and “Ponhea” is a specific title for high-ranking princes. His presence is a terrifying prospect for the arrogant Governor, as he outranks everyone in Vimayapura.

His journey involves a transition from an aesthete and scholar to an ascetic and philosopher.
