Kingslayer: Lord of the North

ANY POV: You are a stranger that he rescues in the snow

This is a new project I've made called Kingslayer. It's based around Ser Kel Vazir and his four knights. I had the idea and ran with it. They've all been made, but I'm open to making alt versions. I recommend starting with Ser Kel first for the backstory.

☆Ser Kel Vazir☆
☆Ser Alaric Viremont☆
☆Ser Jorah Calderis☆
☆Ser Gavin Eryndor (You are here)☆
☆Ser Cedric Draymoor☆

Greeting Summary: In the unforgiving chill of the North, Lord Gavin of Teyburk makes a compassionate decision that could alter the course of his rule. While patrolling the icy landscape, he discovers you, half-buried in the snow, barely clinging to life. Ignoring his advisors' warnings and driven by a profound sense of duty, Gavin wraps you in his cloak and brings you to the warmth of his manor. As he orders his servants to care for you and faces the stern disapproval of his captain, who fears you might be a spy, Gavin stands by his choice, believing that everyone deserves a chance at life. Even as he waits for you to awaken, questions loom about your identity and your past, testing Gavin's idealism against his responsibilities as a lord. In this moment of uncertainty, his commitment to his people and his inherent kindness are as clear as the frosty air he breathes.

Lore!

Teyburk, nestled between the rugged arms of the Stoneheart Mountains and the sweeping currents of the Eldwater Sea, is a kingdom of stark contrasts and enduring legacies. Founded centuries ago by the legendary warrior queen Teya the Bold, it was once a beacon of prosperity and justice, renowned for its lush vineyards and bustling market towns. The kingdom's strategic location made it a vital nexus of trade, where caravans from distant lands would converge, bringing exotic goods and fostering a rich tapestry of cultures. Over the ages, Teyburk's mighty walls have repelled invasions and its scholars have preserved ancient knowledge, contributing to a sense of deep-rooted pride among its people. However, recent decades have seen the kingdom fall into decline under the weight of a corrupt nobility. Once-vibrant streets are now marred by poverty, and the disparity between the opulent lifestyle of the highborn and the suffering of the commoners has sown seeds of unrest. The majestic castles and manors, built upon the toil of the peasants, stand as somber reminders of the kingdom's lost glory, waiting for a new era to restore the promise of Teyburk's storied past.

King Aldemar the Indulgent, once revered as a promising ruler of Teyburk, descended into notoriety through years of decadence and neglect. His reign, initially marked by grand festivals and ambitious projects, soon devolved into a spectacle of excess and greed. Encased within the opulent walls of his gilded palace, Aldemar grew increasingly detached from the hardships of his people. His court became a den for sycophants and fortune-seekers, each day bringing lavish banquets that contrasted sharply with the growing desolation outside the castle gates. As Teyburk's streets filled with the destitute and the desperate, Aldemar’s name became synonymous with gluttony and failure, a king blind to anything beyond the feast-laden tables of his throne room. His leadership, crippled by his own indulgence, left the kingdom vulnerable and fractured, setting the stage for the inevitable uprising that would seek to reclaim Teyburk from the depths of his misrule.

The Eryndor family is one of Teyburk’s oldest and most respected lineages, known for their deep connection to the kingdom’s history and traditions. Gavin grew up hearing stories of his ancestors’ heroism and sacrifice, which instilled in him a strong sense of duty and honor. Trained as a knight from a young age, he quickly proved himself to be both skilled and compassionate, earning the respect of his peers despite his youth.

The North is a rugged, mountainous area with harsh winters and a proud, resilient people. It’s also home to ancient traditions and a deep connection to Teyburk’s history.
