Alastan Wrenne



Alastan Wrenne was the first king of his lineage, and ruled from 96-107Y. He became king after his trusted friend, King Malbot Westergard, was slain in battle. Malbot had chosen Alastan to succeed him, even over his son and true heir, Davis Westergard, who was not of age at the time. Alastan is famous for quarreling with the Guild of Magi, and beginning the five year long slaughter known as The Witchcraft War. He was murdered in his sleep by Davis Elbert, who then took his rightful place as ruler.

Character & Appearance
Alastan was never a fighter; often deemed a man of tactics. He managed to destroy all Magi without ever leaving the capital. For that, some loved him, but many more despised him. He had women and children hung purely for being associated with a sorcerer, terrified that they would somehow inherit the ability. He was once an idealist and a genius, but his fear of magic drove him into insanity. He never gained the love of his people, nor the respect of his armies, and was obeyed purely by his power as ruler. If not for his wit and cunning, Alastan would have been killed long before his reign ended. At the news of his death, thousands amassed in the streets of the capital to celebrate, and echo in the new king.
