"INT: An ancient throne room, built and bathed in the light of Law. On a throne of fire sits the KING WHO SPEAKS. On a throne of obsidian sits the KING WHO WARS. They are the TWIN KINGS OF ELEUTHERIA, united in ruling."[1]
The King who Speaks was the other half of the Halved - the brother of the King who Wars.
Cleft in Twain
In a time when Eleutheria was still bright, the King who Speaks ruled alongside the King who Wars as a duumvirate, and were known collectively as the Binary.[2] The Binary was petitioned by the nascent Solonacean Conjunction to adopt an ideology similar to the Liberation of Night;[1] the King who Speaks expressed interest, but his brother shot down the plan.[3] As the meeting passed, the King who Speaks lowered his guard and submitted to the Conjunction as their disciple - and then he was brutally assassinated by the vengeful members.[4] The betrayal and death of the King who Speaks led his brother to slaughter the Solonacean Conjunction, and their leader was condemned to the Well of Wonders.[5]
The King who Speaks might have been a ruler who valued change, as opposed to his brother, who preferred stagnation and preservation.[3] He claimed that he and his brother were growing dim, so he resolved to "let the old Order fall" to allow the Binary to become greater than what they already were.[6]
