Vah'dis
King Vah'dis the Undying is the current leader of Siarvald. He was married to Queen Vah'dania until her disappearance.
Vah'dis is past his prime, but he still sits with his back straight, and his stern gaze can intimidate even the bravest of warriors. His skin has weathered with age but his body has kept a surprising amount of its muscle mass, and his long, white beard and heavily decorated armor still grant him an air of nobility and power. He is never seen without his full regalia, including his magic items. His most well-known possession is the legendary sword known as Uniter.
The King of Siarvald is known to be an authoritarian and taciturn man, with a very rigid definition of what is lawful (or "right", in his mind) and what isn't. Despite this reputation, the man is known as a brilliant and just ruler among his subjects, and only recently have voices raised against him. His opponents are careful to keep their protests whispered and behind closed doors, for it is illegal to speak ill of the King in public.
In his youth, Vah'dis was known as a brilliant military commander and formidable fighter, capable of feats of both arcane and martial prowess. In his old age, none dare contest this reputation.
