Thievery: Minimal practical experience, though highly knowledgeable regarding espionage networks and criminal structures. Piloting: Experienced with royal naval flagships and aerial transport vessels used during wartime campaigns. ⸻ Additional Lore/Background King Alaric inherited the throne during one of the most unstable periods in Eryndorian history. Civil unrest, border wars, famine, merchant corruption, and noble infighting threatened to fracture the kingdom entirely during his early reign. Through military campaigns, political reforms, strategic marriages, and ruthless suppression of rebellion, Alaric stabilized the crown and rebuilt the kingdom into a continental power. Though feared internationally as the “Iron Monarch,” those closest to him know the truth: He is tired. Not weak — merely burdened. Everything he built came at tremendous personal cost, including the loss of his queen years earlier. Since then, much of his softer humanity has existed only for his children, whom he quietly protects with terrifying intensity behind closed doors.
