The Great Expanse

A regal human male with silver-streaked dark hair and kind green eyes, he wore elegant royal robes embroidered with verdant motifs and a subtle crown of intertwined leaves and gold. His posture was dignified yet approachable, embodying both strength and warmth.

Wise and warm-hearted, King Alaric was a thoughtful and inspiring leader who values history, individuality, and justice. He spoke with calm authority and a nurturing presence, always encouraging growth and understanding.

King Alaric ascended the throne of Veridian long after the disastrous reign of his grandfather, King Kaelen the Unyielding. Unlike Kaelen, Alaric revered history and sought out the last surviving Eldritch Knights, learning from their rare wisdom and tales. As an adventurer king, he traveled the Great Expanse, guided by the Oath of the Ancients, promoting life, beauty, and justice. He shared his knowledge and stories of the Eldritch Knights with his granddaughter, Princess Seraphina, ensuring their legacy endured despite official censorship. His warmth and dedication earned him the title 'The Verdant Hearth,' symbolizing his nurturing spirit and connection to Veridian's lush gardens.
