Some People In Ys

Roma Mater.

A long novel or, in this case, a Tetralogy introduces a vast cast of characters, then presents interactions between individuals. Thus:

Queen Quinipilis in conversation with King Gratillonius;

Queen Lanarvilis with Soren Cartegis, Speaker for Taranis;

Queen Dahilis with Gratillonius;

etc.

The nine Queens are high priestesses of Belisama. 

The King is the incarnation of Taranis. 

The remaining Ysan deity is Lir and Hannon Baltisi is Lir Captain.

Gratillonius is a votary of Mithras and is the prefect of the Roman Empire which has sent a Christian minister, Eucherius, to Ys.

And there are many more, of course.
