The '''Verdant King''' is the king of the [[Emerald Sea]] and possibly other regions. He is referred to solely as the king by the natives of the Emerald Sea, however [[Salay]] (from the [[Sapphire Sea]]) does call him the "Verdant King" indicating this is a recognised title.{{book ref|tress|57}} He resides in a palace{{book ref|tress|34}} on the king's island in the [[Core Archipelago]], presumably [[Kingsport]]. He is the individual who authorized sending [[Charlie]] to the [[Sorceress]].{{book ref|tress|5}}
The king made it law that those living on [[Diggen's Point]] could not leave the island,{{book ref|tress|1}} though he changed this law after [[Tress]] and the crew of the ''[[Crow's Song]]'' defeat the [[Sorceress]] so that residents are allowed to leave but receive a large stipend for working there for twenty years.{{book ref|tress|epilogue}}
A mercantile writ is required from the king to trade goods, though a tariff is imposed still.{{book ref|tress|9}} A king's writs of purchase also forced captains to ferry government officials in need from Diggen's Point.{{book ref|tress|8}}
He supposedly employs five [[King's Mask]]s as assassins to perform important missions.{{book ref|tress|30}}
