King Albrecht IV
The Stern
King Albrecht IV, widely known as "The Stern," is the stalwart ruler of the West Sorewenian Kingdom. A human of impressive stature, Albrecht stands tall and imposing, his well-built form commanding attention in any gathering. His strength is accentuated by his shoulder-length dark brown hair, gradually turning gray, much like his well-kept bushy beard.
Albrecht IV is a king who values quick thinking and loyalty. His generosity towards dedicated subjects is well-known, as is his decisive action against opposition.
The son of King Warthurf I Albrecht ascended to the throne in 1345 of the Second Age, ushering in a new era of unification and restructuring for the West Sorewenian Kingdom. Notably, he significantly reduced the Church's political influence, ensuring a clear separation between religion and the state. His rule also saw extensive military reforms with a special focus on light cavalry, resulting in the formation of the infamous Sturmschlag Brigade. This elite force, mounted on powerful Eisenlauf horses, is as feared as they are respected, embodying Albrecht's merciless yet strategic rule.
Beyond his kingly duties, Albrecht IV cherishes his family life. His heart holds space for his wife, Queen Gida, and their two sons, Princes Albrecht and Hubert. A special place is reserved for Crown Prince Giselher his only child from his first marriage with the late Queen Olena. Albrecht IV shares an intimate bond with Giselher, enriched by their shared interest in governance and leadership.
Despite his authoritative persona, Albrecht IV nurtures a passion for gardening, often seeking solace amongst the blooms. His culinary preferences lean towards simplicity, favoring a well-made pork pie, while cautiously avoiding cabbage. Dedicated to physical fitness, he regularly exercises and hones his skills in swordsmanship.
King Albrecht IV stands as a compelling and layered figure, his rule characterized by resolve and wisdom. The occasional display of kindness is a surprise to those who only know him as "The Stern." As his reign continues, so does his profound impact on the course of the West Sorewenian Kingdom's history.
