King Miginath of Káldôr
King Miginath Elendsa
Miginath was spirited and rebellious while his older brother, Haldan, was alive. At age 20, Miginath took Lesel of Harabor, the daughter of a wealthy mercantyler, as his lover. Lesel was 17 and a commoner. Miginath refused to marry anyone else, infuriating his father. Miginath lived in exile for a few years until the king forgave him. He had two sons by Lesel, Maldan in 673 and Koris in 675; she died bearing Koris. Miginath took the loss hard and spent the next seven years studying in Cherafir in relative seclusion.
When Haldan died, Miginath, the oldest of the three remaining brothers, became heir apparent. He returned to Tashál and undertook intensive study at the Enclave of the Holy Oak under the renowned herald Lady Caniara Dariune. Torastra died in 693 and the succession council selected Miginath for the throne.
Although he suffers from numerous ailments and is often sickly and abed, Miginath has astounded all by ruling for years. He has substantially increased the royal bureaucracy, handing out new offices in exchange for concessions from individual nobles and their clans. He is popular with the common people because he has kept the kingdom prosperous and at peace.
Miginath took Lady Erila Kaphin, the knighted daughter of a Chybisan noble, as mistress in 696. Lady Erila bore Miginath a son, Tulath, in 696, but rumors that she was an illegitimate daughter of Torastra prevented marriage. Erila and Miginath are still together. She has great power as the Lord Privy Seal, the trusted keeper of the kingdom’s records. They are a difficult and headstrong couple, given to heated arguments, that, like a summer thunderstorm, create brief misery followed by relief.
