The Third Cast: Misaki Kuno, Ayaka Asai, and Mayumi Shintani! Character Details and Cast Comments Revealed!
The information for the third cast and characters are announced; Misaki Kuno will voice Sorghaghtani, the intelligent primary consort of the Fourth Prince, Tolui. Ayaka Asai will voice Moge, the fourth consort of the Mongol Emperor Ogedei. Mayumi Shintani will voice Kirgistani, the third consort of the Mongol Emperor Ogedei.
Sorghaghtani (CV: Misaki Kuno)
Tolui’s wife. She believes that “the world is wider than the steppe,” and is searching for “Elements,” a text containing knowledge from the West. She also possesses great insight, recognizing the danger that comes with imbalances in military strength and authority.
Moge (CV: Ayaka Asai)
Ogedei’s fourth wife, who deeply adores Boraqchin. While she proclaims that she “isn’t very smart,” she has an innocent and honest personality.
Kirgistani (CV: Mayumi Shintani)
Ogedei’s third wife. Incredibly emotional, she is very sweet towards Ogedei but makes no effort to hide her feelings of rivalry towards the other wives. Her drastic mood swings often lead her to lose composure and cause a scene when something goes awry.
Boraqchin
Ogedei’s first wife and Empress (the Great Khatun). Always calm, composed, and dignified, she is a woman of unfathomable depth. Believing that “in politics, it is crucial to pull strings beneath the surface,” she secretly devises strategies, deeply concerned about the empire’s future and the imbalance of power.
Overview
Story
A young girl and an empress.
Bound by a shared desire for revenge, the two will shake the mightiest empire the world has ever known.
After losing her mother and being torn far from her homeland, a young girl named Sitara is taken in by Fatima, a kind-hearted lady from a family of scholars.
“If you study and become wise, no matter what trouble befalls you, you’ll know the best way forward.”
Deeply moved by the words of Fatima’s son, Muhammad, Sitara comes to understand the possibilities and importance of knowledge and begins to deepen her education.
She dreams that one day, she might catch up with Muhammad, who has set off on a journey in pursuit of wisdom…
Meanwhile, under the reign of Emperor Genghis Khan, the mighty Mongol Empire continues its unstoppable march, conquering nation after nation and expanding its influence across the world. Before long, the tides of history reach the city where Sitara lives.
After losing everything to Tolui, the empire’s Fourth Prince, and being taken captive, Sitara resolves to use the only thing she has left, her intellect, to infiltrate the royal court and bring down the empire from within.
Though a flame of revenge burns within her heart, Sitara outwardly devotes herself to serving the empire. One day, she has a fateful encounter with Toregene, the sixth wife of the Third Prince, Ogedei. Haunted by a tragic past of her own, Toregene too carries a deep hatred for the empire within her heart.
Sitara and Toregene, two women who were never meant to meet. The moment they join hands, the wheels of fate begin to turn.
