King Pastoria of the Land of Oz & the father of Princess Ozma

More about King Pastoria of the Land of Oz & the father of Princess Ozma

Pastoria adopted Ozma when she was a baby fairy.

Pastoria was kind, but does not appear to have been a very powerful King, as the land of Oz was still inhabited by four Wicked Witches who had enslaved many people. The Wicked Witch of the West had a Golden Cap which allowed her to command her Winged Monkeys, who were slaves to the cap, while the Wicked Witch of the East used the magic of her Silver Shoes to keep the Munchkin people in bondage. The only ones who stopped them from completely conquering Oz were the two Good Witches: Locasta Tattypoo aka the Good Witch of the North, who lived with the Gillikins; and Glinda who lived in a ruby-red castle with the Quadlings of Oz.

At the time Ozma was restored to the throne, it was believed that Pastoria was dead. It was later revealed that Mombi had enchanted Pastoria and transformed him into "Tora the Tired Tailor." He was later discovered and disenchanted, but he no longer had a desire to rule and was happy to concede rule to Ozma, preferring to open and run a tailor shop under his own name.
