Walther V of Emerling
King Walther V "the Sick" of Emerling
King Walther V "the Sick" assumed the throne in the midst of affliction and infirmity. Born into a lineage of conquerors and rulers, his ascension came at a time when his health waned and his vitality diminished. From the moment he took the crown, his frailty confined him to his sickbed, leaving the governance of Rasfadal in the hands of his brother, Goedling, who served as his regent.
During his brief reign, King Walther V's inability to actively participate in the affairs of the kingdom left much to be desired. The weight of leadership rested on the shoulders of his ambitious and astute brother, Goedling, who seized the opportunity to wield significant influence in the regency. While no concrete evidence exists, whispers persist of Goedling's deliberate actions to prolong his brother's illness, ensuring his own ascent to the throne upon Walther V's untimely demise.
In the annals of Rasfadal's history, King Walther V's reign remains shrouded in the shadow of his incapacitation, with little to no lasting impact on the kingdom. It is the tale of a ruler trapped by infirmity, while his brother plotted and maneuvered behind the scenes, poised to seize power upon the inevitable passing of his ailing sibling.
