Oréstund Uhok

King Oréstund Uhok, IV

Known as the "Mad King" informally. He went through a great change after returning from one of his World Pilgrimages, and has since embarked on transforming his Kingdom for reasons known only to himself. Styling himself the "Saviour-Immortal" of the Daraman People, he has said only that a "great calamity" is "coming for the Known World". He has reigned as the elected King of Daramar for more than 60 years.   The early years of his reign were markedly different, being a typical Daraman King in fulfilling his royal duties and responsibities, keeping the Kingdom running but taking no initative to govern directly, instead leaving it to the federated Duchies of Daramar.
