Nostroveg II
King Nostroveg Morgveg (a.k.a. The King of the South)
King of the cold and harsh lands of Vunk in Tzunar’s far south, Nostroveg of the Morgveg clan, second of his name, rules over Vunk in a time of change. Revanchists in his kingdom gather strength, wishing to raid lands as they once did, and the split in popularity between his three sons ensured that after his death, Vunk will have a bloody time. Managing a harsh people who have nevertheless created a thriving civilisation in the south, and leading an alliance against the expansionist Dominion, Nostroveg has plenty of weight on his shoulders.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born to relative wealth in the year 719, Nostroveg II had his head bound in order to shape it to a more cone like shape, as do certain tribes of the Northern Isles on the other end of Tzunar, for the young prince’s father had heard a prophecy that the boy would be one who brings unity to the south. Expanding the southern alliance to the fringes of the Altyn plateau, and including all of the nations south of the Dominion, bar Xiphos, Nostroveg’s foreign policy has worked wonders for trade in the region, with the port city of Vunk opening outposts as far west as the Umborri islands on the edge of the known world, and a few even say he has launched an expedition to find what is beyond them. Wishing to unite the south against its northern neighbours, Nostroveg’s intentions are not as peaceful as the revanchists in his court may think.

Employment
Ascending to the throne in 743, aged twenty four years old, Nostroveg quickly became acquitted with the different factions of Vunkish policies, those who wanted trade, and those who wanted to raid. Reforming the Vunkish military and developing the spread of fireproof resins for ships, to protect from the horrors of the southern seas, Nostroveg’s ambitions are to keep powers like Phurzia and Xu out of Vunkish waters.
Morality & Philosophy
A committed follower of the White Lion, Nostroveg’s approach to running the kingdom is not one of petty raiding against neighbouring kingdoms and bribing clan leaders with gifts of loot, but cementing ties with the other nations of the south with diplomacy, while reducing the power of the clans and reorganising them toward a common purpose. Believing a strong and modern kingdom will prove the best way to resist foreign oppression, he is not afraid to break with tradition if he believes it is within the best interests of the kingdom.
