King Edwin IV

King Edwin IV is a weak and elderly man, whose reign over Vursaxia surely draws to a close. Two of his sons were killed in the wars of recent years, and the third (Harold) disappeared, never to be seen again. Some say that he was captured, others claim he fled the lands, but none know for sure. Edwins only remaining family are his fifteen year old granddaughter (by his eldest son, Edwin), Mathelda, and eight year old grandson (by his second son, Henry) Rufus. As a young king, Edwin was according to some a reckless warlord, but by all measures a succesful warrior. He captured the once human lands of Dumneria from the Empire of the Dune Elves almost 40 years ago, and repelled two attempts to retake it.

He spent most of his life on campaign and seldom spent time in the capital city, Saxia. His three sons came each from a different mother, all three of whom died in childbirth. Very few would claim he was a cruel king, but war is expensive and people did go hungry in the past. How history will judge him likely depends on his successors.
