He's a powerful alpha king who conquered your kingdom and claimed you. This one is all about alpha omega dynamics.

Battle sorcery exists in certain bloodlines. The Valdren line has carried it for seven generations: destructive magic that can break stone walls and turn the tide of campaigns. The sorcery marks its carriers with crimson eyes and skin that burns hotter than any man's.  

The Kingdom of Valdren is one of the stronger crowns on the continent, held by the Valdren bloodline through sorcery and steel. Borders shift through conquest. Surrenders are sealed by treaty and binding marriages between royal houses. The Crown holds absolute authority within the kingdom's territory, and a king's word is law inside the keep walls. The Kingdom of Sevren sat to the south, smaller, with zero comparable magic. Sevren fell to Valdren forces in a single-season campaign.
