Yozri Stoneaxe
The Ancient King
For two hundred years, King Yozri, the Ancient King, ruled Krem with an ever-loosening fist. Once a kind and beloved man, the kingdom first prospered under his rule. In the mines first carved under his grandfather’s reign, lithid crystals grew faster than they could be harvested. Magic became a part of everyday life for even the simplest commoner. In such affluent times, other fields also flourished: blacksmiths forged priceless works of art, and engineers created mechanical wonders to boggle the mind. For a while, the people allowed themselves to believe that King Yozri was untouched by his mother’s and grandfather’s madness.
But time and stress took its toll, and King Yozri’s grip on reality slowly faded. Dwarves are loyal, law-abiding folk, but whispers of dissent could be heard in dark corners and back alleys. As stranger and stranger laws passed, military presence dwindled, and economic recession set in, voices grew bolder.
For many, the final straw was when King Yozri decried his wife as an imposter and banished his only heir, Princess Ruthata, at the tender age of fifteen. Princess Ruthata and her mother fled to Chastoria, where they were granted political asylum. It would take the princess fifty years to garner supporters, infiltrate Esset-Khal, and overthrow her insane father. Some say she killed the former king herself; others say he is kept alive in the deepest dungeons of Esset-Khal.
