Temertain is without wife or children, so his immediate family consist of just himself. .
Temertain has assembled a ring of advisors - the so-called Philosopher's Ring - consistent of six literate counselors (Redbird, Gordius Silverus, Orstandrin the Upright, Chalranna the Exile, Aransand the Grey and Dunorl the Leech) mostly recruited from various Lhankhor Mhy libraries in the Holy Country. They are who Temertain relies on for most questions - they are a very well read group. Redbird and Gordius seem to be the most influential. Orstandrin and Dunorl seem to be the least influential.
Temertain has appointed several folk to various household positions. Korlmhy Orlgardsson has been appointed priest of the Sacred Flame. Umathkar Goodcandle has been appointed Royal Librarian. Saronil the Fat (a wealthy Boldhome merchant) has been appointed Dishthane. Brenna Harnkorlsdottir has been appointed Watchman. I'm sure there are a handful of other Kingsmen.
About 30 servants run the Royal Palace and carry out the household duties (caring for horses, cooking meals, purchasing stuff, maintaining and cleaning the palace, etc.). Most are Sartarites, but Haloric and Lilith (from Esvular) are the head servants.
Temertain and his ring are assisted by about 10 scribes who handle correspondence between each other, with the Lunars, with the various cities and tribes, and so on. This number includes a scribe who keeps track of all household accounts, 1 who acts as a paymaster for the Prince, and 1 who takes notes for the Prince. Most are Lhankhor Mhy apprentices from Sartar, but four are Tarshites on loan from Fazzur.
Finally, Temertain's houshold guard consists of 100 fierce Telmori warriors led by Goram Whitefang. They outnumber the rest of the household and scare the willies out of Temertain (and most right-thinking folk).
This household of about 50 folk form the "government" of Sartar, such that it is. Fazzur actually has a much larger household.
