Argil, Founder of New Keeleon, also known as Argil, son of Corthag, was a historic orc member of the Queendom of Keeleon royal family during the early Fifth Age. He was the son of Queen Alena and went on to found the city of New Keeleon.
Biography
After the old capital, Keeleon Castle, was lost to corruption and could not be reclaimed, a new settlement was formed in its stead by Argil on the banks of the Rexun River. The Breakwater Keep started construction early in the city's history at Argil's orders. After it was completed, it became the seat of government for the city. New Keeleon quickly blossomed due to the resources of the region that previously fueled the castle, and it grew into the northern power point of the Queendom of Keeleon's influence.Character Information
