Bleobaris the Bold
pronounced (Blay OH bar EES)
An image of his youth.

A.C. 2781 - 2785
Rumors flew in of the great battles taking place over the mountain to the West. Within the nation however a period of peace finally settled in.

My wife Queen Aurora and I had a daughter adding a certain vibrance to the royal chambers.

A great project was authorized for future generations to take advantage of. The cultivation of the Akasian Hills.

A.C. 2786 - 2790
Maradoc proves a faithful advisor, his unique abilities and experience are invaluable to me. Aurora and I have discussed it at length and shall ask him to tutor our eldest.

Strange tales seem a common day event here yet what do I do with green children of unknown origin and people with no shadows? Fortunately we have the strong presence of the Grail to hold us all together.

Yet with that it appears we have a branch of religion called The Way of the Sword. They have taken to martial skill and preparedness above all.

A.C. 2791 - 2795
Ah the Hills, the hills they tell me are transformed and the people there fully joined together as one with the Crusader States.

Our second daughter comes as I’ve given orders yet again to those that surround us in court. Sir Galahant the Bold, a man of mighty repute gladly accepted a mission of diplomacy in Regaldros. It didnt hurt he was able to participate in the Lists I’m sure. Ah to be free enough to join in such entertainment again.

My funeral of my friend Duke Calvin was a hard thing. He was such a young man. Another arcane advisor Vincent passed away peacefully his life spent in the service of the States. Of him I remember little, of his deeds I remember much.

A.C. 2796 - 2800
The sound of hammers and construction continued throughout the night again in preparation for a relief mission. Galahant the ever faithful servant of the nation will be sent along the coast to Elenuil with 30 vessels and some two thousands of men. If I were not King, he would make a fine leader for any situation including that of a Nation.

While others expand homesteads, provide help and build the economy of Crusader States the Queen and I enjoy a bit of quiet time where we have several more children. Finally a son, then another, and yet another daughter. A man could not be happier. Frightening to me, my eldest seems to have the power of magic. Sword play and hard work I know well, the mysteries of these other forces they are more strange to me.

A.C. 2801 - 2805
Two hard facts come to fruition.
First off the northern Horde of horsemen threatens the entire area. Not only have they ravaged lands beyond the mountains, but now they come into the Lyodan River valley itself. Quick messenger was sent to Elenuil recalling the troops.

Second, should something befall me my eldest has been officially recognized as a Princess of the people.

Amazingly bypassed, Ianthe to the south comes under heavy assault. The outcome seems inevitable.

A.C. 2806 - 2809
The H’rethek and the Airnim Horde threaten the region, so those vassals and forces at our disposal we hunker down in the event of assult. In the glorious days of my father we would not sit behind these walls but ride forth and sweep them from our doorstep. Now however there are so many more people to consider and a nation to protect. Alas I do the best I can, forgive me those future peoples that see differently.

Another problem we have not encountered, refugees. Vast numbers of folk flee the war torn nation heading northwards to our borders. As we are a vast and diverse people I agree to let them into the city and we will do the best we can.
