King Paleo Egastra
King Paleo Mida Egastra (a.k.a. The Wise)
King Paleo Egastra, known as "The Wise," played a pivotal role in the history of Lorian and Albion as the third Lothric King. Their reign was marked by diplomatic finesse, prosperous times for the citizens, and a voluntary abdication that further solidified their wise reputation.
King Paleo's ascent to the throne was unique, as they united a civil movement to peacefully remove their predecessor, King Somnus Mortellian, from power. By rallying members of the King's Court and a substantial portion of the Crownsguard, Paleo presented King Somnus with a clear choice: relinquish the crown peacefully and live a life of comfort or face forceful removal and imprisonment in the dungeon. This tactful ultimatum left little room for negotiation, leading King Somnus to surrender the Diadem of Lorian, allowing King Paleo to assume the throne.
Throughout King Paleo's reign, Lorian and its inhabitants experienced a period of remarkable prosperity and contentment. The citizens of Lorian enjoyed happier lives under the wise leadership, with improved living conditions, economic growth, and increased opportunities. King Paleo's commitment to the expansion of the kingdom played a significant role in this progress. Through their efforts, settlements such as Ashfeld, Fayrewel, Primara (now known as Old Lorian), and Talvor—famous as the first landing point of the First Folk on Zion—flourished, contributing to the diversity and strength of Lorian.
What truly distinguished King Paleo Egastra was their voluntary abdication from the throne, a decision that solidified their reputation as "The Wise." Feeling that they had accomplished all they could in their 97-year reign, King Paleo made the momentous announcement that the Head of the Crownsguard, Brianna Sol, would succeed them as the fourth Lothric King. This act of selflessness and foresight demonstrated their deep commitment to the well-being and continuity of the kingdom.
King Paleo Egastra's reign left an enduring legacy of wisdom, diplomacy, and prosperity. Their peaceful ascension and voluntary abdication set a precedent for future transitions of power within the Lothric lineage. Their commitment to the expansion of Lorian and their people ensured a diverse and thriving kingdom. The reign of King Paleo The Wise stands as a shining chapter in the annals of Lorian's history, cherished by generations to come.
