-
King Dorn the Founder, also called the Unifier, turned the city state of Mythhold into the kingdom of Agranor.
-
-
Helm the Builder expanded Mythhold and the roads connecting it to other, growing towns
-
Grim, an adviser to the king, very briefly usurped the throne before being defeated by Ydrid the Golden
-
Ydrid the Golden studied with diviners and priests, and she appointed the Rainbow Council as official court mages (perhaps to make peace with the dangerously powerful mages)
-
Dorn the Gilded inherited from his mother Ydrid the Golden, but was soon slain by agents of future king Erdal. Dorn's son Helm the Gilded met the same fate the next year
-
-
Erdal the Bloody killed the heirs of Ydrid after patiently waiting for the powerful queen's passing. He founded his new dynasty in the blood of the old.
-
Brodhelm the Strong continued Erdal the Bloody's use of violence to eliminate his enemies, expanding the kingdom beyond Agronland in a short 5 years.
-
Erdal the Righteous garnered the support of various temples, expanding kingdom and faiths alike.
-
Erhelm the Bright and his eldest died in battle, leaving the youngest son Mordarel the Sorcerer to take the throne.
-
Mordarel the Sorcerer, child king born to Erhelm and Gwethyr, had advisors and his mother governing in his stead, while attempts were made to control his wild magic. His death at age 12 was presumed to be an assassination, spurring his mother's vengeful conquest.
-
Gwethyr the Conquerer, dowager queen between the deaths of Erhelm the Bright and their son Mordarel the Sorcerer, became one of the most aggressive monarchs, relentlessly pursuing her family's killers and trampling her enemies. She took no other husband and had no more children, leaving the throne to Erhelm's uncle Erdal the Old.
-
Erdal the Old inherited from his nephew's wife Gwethyr who had relied heavily on the Rainbow Council. The wizards eventually grew tired of the old man and deposed him shortly before his death.
-
-
-
Rendric Bear-Voice, a large and charismatic noble, rallied the people and reestablished the monarchy in a time of growing distrust in mages.
-
Rodwolf "the Cub" lived mostly in the shadow of his father Rendric Bear-Voice, but managed to hold onto the fledgling dynasty despite the ambitions of several wizards, leaving it to his brother Remwael.
-
Remwael the Great, Rendric Bear-Voice's second son, expanded Agranor to stretch from the Kyrvals to the sea. The new monarchy was firmly established as a lasting institution.
-
Aeryth the Substitute, sister of Rendric II, was crowned in the prince's absence until his return. She was thus King, not Queen Regnant.
-
Rendric the Wise was away when his father died. Rendric's sister Aeryth was instated as intermediary king on his behalf until his return. His reign was prosperous for the kingdom.
-
Kewyn the Good, spelled 'Kuen' on coins, benefitted from the prosperous state of the kingdom left behind by Rendric the Wise. They are theorised to be some flavour of not-cisgender.
-
Remwyl the Tall was known for his stature and fondness for towers, which he erected many of, much to the mages' liking.
-
Rendric Silver-Heart opened many new mines and minting houses, vastly increasing the crown's wealth, but mostly just to fill his own coffers. His name and profile appear on a lot of old coins.
-
Remwyl the Old had been a militant prince, but as king, he was mostly just an old man who enjoyed luxury.
-
Rendric the Pious (Prince Aleric before his coronation) was a highly religious man, who spent most of his short reign financing temples.
-
Arthold Green-Thumb was famously fond of botany and greenery. He created a number of parks and "hired" druids from the border regions to tend to his gardens.
-
Remwyl the Pious continued his predecessor Rendric IV's financing of temples, and had shrine built into every park and castle.
-
Rendric the Righteous turned the recent decades' religious trend towards war. This eventually got him deposed by his cousin Arthold the Bold.
-
Arthold the Bold deposed his militant cousin Rendric V, but had to contend with the enemies he made doing so for the entirety of his reign.
-
Remwyl the Fat was also the Duke of Imwyrth in the modern-day Kalruun Fields, a rich and fertile land. He disliked a lot of the nobility, and frequently shifted estates and titles around for his own amusement. The aristocracy quickly decided they didn't like this, and so they had his son instated prematurely.
-
Rendric the Stubborn came to power when the aristocracy got tired of his father (they didn't kill him, he was just deposed). The nobles demanded Rendric undo Remwyl V's chaotic decrees, but since he didn't, they rallied behind his rival Korond.
-
-
Korond the Great deposed the increasingly disliked Rendrican dynasty and founded his own with the nobility's support, and restoring order to the aristocratic hierarchy.
-
Omond the Beloved maintained his father's successes. Quite uneventful, politically.
-
Korond Long-Legs was known for his travels all across the kingdom, hunting in the country with nobles, visiting borderlands, and extending the borders to the north (although that didn't last).
-
Omond the Wise was closely involved with the appointment of mages across the land. In 272, he exiled Kalarel, Magus to Imwyrth, at the behest of the rest of the arcane society.
-
Leomond the Accursed faced the first demonic army of Kalrath, losing many battles until the Rainbow Council managed to drive the fledgling lich out. He didn't manage to reclaim much land from the orcs before the next wave of demons struck from across the sea.
-
Omond the Lost only ever suffered losses against the Demon Tide.
-
Leomond the Brave conscripted new soldiers and armed his people against the Demon Tide, losing most battles, but holding back against others.
-
Korond the Coward hid from the invading forces of Kalrath and from his royal responsibilities. When his vassals called for aid, he refused to answer.
-
Omond the Boneless cowered in his castle until his eventual successor Omond the Strong convinced him to take up arms against the Demon Tide. Omond the Boneless was killed by Kalrath and used to fuel dark spells.
-
Omond the Strong focused his attention towards holy warriors when strategising agains the Demon Tide, prioritising the divine over the arcane. His funding and arming of temples saved the major cities, but he failed to protect the smaller settlements, leading to worsening famine.
-
Leomond Demonfodder made a valiant attempt at leading his paladins into battle against the Demon Tide. Unfortunately, he was eaten by ghouls.
-
Korond the Castellan, much like Korond the Coward and Omond the Boneless, fortified himself in his castles. Unlike his predecessors, however, he had to contend with flying demons, and actually managed to prevail in most battles.
-
Omond the Sign was considered a good omen, as his coronation was shortly followed by the turning of the tide in the war against Kalrath's armies. In 384, the lich was driven back and destroyed at last, and Omond's restoration had begun.
-
Landor Half-Elven continued Omond the Sign's restoration of Agranor following the end of the Demon Tide.
-
Leomond the Sharp was known for his resoluteness and viciousness during the post-Demon Tide restoration. His reign was eventually contested by his nephew Omund the Holy, to whom he lost a brief civil war.
-
Omund the Holy defeated his uncle Leomond the Sharp. He funded the paladin orders founded during the Demon Tide, and relied on them rather than the still-recovering mages.
-
Lander the Conquerer mobilised his paladin knights and the recovered mage cabals to annex the weakened kingdom of Virdenia to the south.
-
Omund the Kind inherited an expanded kingdom, now including Virdenia, but rather than ruling the annexed land with an iron fist, he allowed the locals to practise their own faiths and traditions, albeit overseen by Mytholese mages.
-
Omund the Blessed was favoured by the church of the Morninlord from birth, and he was raised and tutored by healers. The paladin knights expected to gain his favour for a crusade to eliminate the remaining undead on Tol'Anar, but this didn't pan out.
-
Lander the Lame was considered an excellent statesman, even if he struggled to socialise with the aristocracy and rarely visited his dignitaries. He relied almost solely on mages and priests to communicate at greater distances.
-
Korund the Young was the adopted child of Lander the Lame. Due to his inexperience and unroyal heritage, he abdicated and left his father's chief advisor Yector the Magus in power.
-
Yector the Magus was chief advisor the Lander the Lame and later Lander's adopted son Korund the Young. Korund abdicated, leaving Yector in power until a new king was appointed. As a mage himself, Yector worked closely with the Rainbow Council, and strengthened their bond to the crown, which had lessened after the Demon Tide.
-
Omund the Stern was chosen as the new king a few years after Korund V abdicated. Due to viceroy Yector's influence in those years, Omund worked closely with the Rainbow Council and other cabals. He also raised taxes to fund his mages, and ordered more frequent and thorough inspections of the common folk for many things, including tax evasion, perceived disloyalty, and sorcery.
-
Lander the Fair was known for his beauty and for his just rule. He loosened up on some of his father's regulations and taxes, and traded a little popularity with the wizards for a lot of goodwill with the people.
-
Lander the Unloved was an unfortunate successor to Lander the Fair, and he was neither popular with wizards, nobles, nor the common folk. He is thought to have ended himself, or perhaps just disappeared.
-
Omund the Just restored faith in the crown after the pitiful Lander V was presumed dead. Omund named his eldest son (Lander VI) the principal lord of Westhaven, and had a palace built there for him.
-
Lander the Expansionist had spent at lot of time in Westhaven as crown prince and principal lord of the city, and he became fascinated with the lands across the water. During his reign, he seized Ballasair in Costanor and greatly expanded the Yondrian territories to the north.
-
Vosmarch the Kind took over from Lander the Expansionist, and though he didn't relinquish the new territories, he was known as a kind man within the old borders. Unfortunately, he had his enemies, who managed to kill him and soon after also his son Emeric the Child.
-
Emeric the Child was murdered by his father's killers months after his coronation, leaving the crown to the enraged wife and mother Sybil.
-
Sybil the Rainbow Queen was the wife of Vosmarch I and mother of Emeric the Child. After their murders, Sybil convinced the mages of the Rainbow Council to back her as monarch in return for more influence, and she began her quest for vengeance against the killers. Her long reign was marked by a resurgence of high magic as well as merciless retaliation against her enemies. Much like Queen Gwethyr before her, Sybil never remarried.
-
Omund the Old, a cousin to Vosmarch I, was already an old man when he acceded to the throne after Queen Sybil's death. He frequently warred with Kavaad, and after he lost South Virdenia in 721, he granted more power to the southern margraves and barons. Just six years later, he demoted the very same lords.
-
Lander the Venerable impressed the world with his ability to not suddenly drop dead… for about two years.
-
Dorn the Restorer took over from old men losing wars, and had to relinquish Velantia (north Virdenia) to the south in 733. After successfully stabilising the new border with the aid of Baron Callumpold of Kernenvale, he set his eyes on other lands, to regain what was lost. His vassals successfully expanded in Costanor and found new resources to import.
-
Korund Sunshine followed in his father's footsteps, continuing King Dorn's restoration of Agranor. He funded the church of the Morninglord more than the others, helping his acolytes to restore old temples in the wilderness ruins, and build new ones over in Costanor.
-
Omund the Stag famously had a lot of children. With a lot of women. All over. The next three kings were all sons of Omund XIII.
-
Vosmarch the Seafarer was the first son of Omund the Stag, and the first to inherit. When he was lost at sea, the next brother inherited.
-
Omund the Affable was the people's favourite legitimate son of Omund the Stag. He took over after his older brother Vosmarch II, but tragically died shortly after his son Korund's birth.
-
Lander the Renn-Slayer was the third crowned son of Omund the Stag, and a renowned warrior in Costanor against the Rennamen. He adopted his nephew Korund and named him crown prince.
-
Korund the Good, later also called "the Recluse", was adopted and named crown prince by his uncle Lander VIII after the death of his father Omund the Affable. He became reclusive around the same time the Rainbow Council disappeared. His wife Haelric is mother to his three children Vosmarch, Torace, and Marlotte.
