Alaric Knightsbridge

King (a.k.a. The Adbicator)

Alaric was the first King of Kureta, roughly 800 years ago. When he became King, he inherited the holy blade known as Calis - a blade believed to have been crafted by The Goddess herself, and gifted to the royal family.
Alaric was a noble ruler, who always had the people's best interests at heart. During this time, Kureta wasn't the peaceful place that it is now; and was constantly warring with its neighbours. The area now known as Nakaba was considered a different country during this time, whose name has long been forgotten. This country was Kureta's biggest enemy.
At the height of the war, Kureta's eastern enemy was largely defeated. Alaric knew that one final attack on the capital, Nakaba, would end the war - but at the cost of 1000s of lives. This wasn't what the King wanted. The war had started before his rule, and Alaric had often suspected that the cause was not just. Alaric negotiated a treaty with the enemy force, which would peacefully incorporate their lands into Kureta - whist still allowing the state of Nakaba to retain some of its independence. In order to appease the generals on Kureta's side, Alaric abdicated the throne to the Orbeck family, who had been the biggest noble family with something to gain in the war - access to the sea and its trade routes.
Calis was a powerful longsword, used extensively during the war. To Alaric's regret, it was the weapon he used to slay many soldiers across multiple battles. Unbeknownst to most, it was the scabbard that housed Calis that held the most power. Whilst worn on the hip, the scabbard granted Alaric a powerful arcane shield, which protected him from the attacks of his enemies, as well as many magical attacks. The sword itself was incredibly sharp and able to shed bright light on command.
