King Malderon of the Coastal Lands

King Malderon, the third oldest of the Brother Kings of Vale Tor, rules over the Coastal Lands. His love for the sea and all things maritime defines his rule, and he is known across Vale Tor as a master of the tides and the protector of the kingdom’s harbors. Malderon oversees a prosperous port city that serves as the central hub for imports, exports, and trade, linking Vale Tor to other realms and fostering wealth and cultural exchange within his lands.
  Malderon is bold, pragmatic, and possesses a sharp mind for business, which has helped his kingdom thrive. Under his leadership, the Coastal Lands have become renowned for their skilled sailors, expert shipbuilders, and navigators who brave the open seas. Fishermen, traders, and craftsmen thrive under his protection, benefiting from the bustling docks and marketplaces that draw travelers, merchants, and adventurers from far and wide. He takes pride in his vast fleet and frequently embarks on voyages himself, showing a hands-on approach to ruling. His people admire him for his adventurous spirit and his dedication to their prosperity and safety.
  While the sea is his true love, Malderon is equally invested in maintaining harmony with his brothers, particularly when it comes to trade agreements and resource sharing. His relationship with Baelor is mutually respectful, with each brother seeing value in the other's skills—Malderon’s fleets are often the first line of defense against any coastal invasions, while Baelor’s troops bolster their shores. However, he occasionally finds himself in disputes with Cedric over trading tariffs and logistics but is generally able to find a middle ground due to Cedric's open-mindedness.
  Malderon’s kingdom boasts a strong naval force, which also doubles as a line of defense. The sailors and soldiers who serve him are well-trained, their loyalty cemented by Malderon’s charismatic leadership. When the tides of war approach Vale Tor, Malderon’s fleet is among the first to respond, scouting the coastline and defending against any sea-based threats. However, he is cautious about conflict, knowing that his trade routes are the lifeblood of Vale Tor’s economy. In Malderon’s eyes, the Coastal Lands are not just a territory—they are the heart of Vale Tor’s connection to the world beyond.
