King Rewnan

King Albert Rewnan IV, ruler of The Jointed Provinces. He has two heirs, Prince Aester and Prince Ernon.

King Albert Rewnan
King Albert Rewnan IV is the sixth king of the Rewnan line. In his youth, King Rewnan was a tall figure of strength and virility, a long mane of thick brown hair and a powerful aura of authority and wisdom. He routinely traveled the Provinces to pay special attention to his subjects and would often accept invitations to tournaments and feasts held by minor nobility. The Jointed Provinces adored King Rewnan for his just laws and general relaxed view on taxes, as well as his ability to defend them from outside forces. Now a man of 60 King Rewnan is a sick, feeble minded, and fat shell of his former self.

The decline in health has been a steady one that went without notice for many years, his council and image workers doing their best to keep King Rewnan’s private life out of the public eye for some time. It’s been theorized that the Overreaching War was mostly waged by The King’s Council, namely Grand Marshal Oleran. Now the King only attends mandatory appearances, commencement ceremonies for new soldiers and ships, royal banquets, and the like, but most of the time he is either asleep in his chair or drooling absentmindedly, confusing his sons for one another or downright lacking any sort of recognition. All of this is widely known but is considered impolite to speak of it in civilized conversation and most commoners refuse to speak of it out of respect, although the younger generation seems to lack the courtesy of their elders.

The Princes
Prince Aester is the eldest by four years and the next in line for the throne. He is a handsome young man of 25 with long brown hair to match his father’s and is known to have his finger on the pulse of the current trends. Aester is a fan of the theater, going to several plays and orchestras a week to sate his hunger for “culture”. He is known to have a distinct distaste for Northerners and the Agralish. While next in line for the throne, Aester is incredibly lazy in his tutelage and refuses to practice arms and often goes on extended visits to any Duke or Duchess that will have him. He is widely recognized as a braggart and a pompous ass, but he is generally well liked by the masses because of his lack of malice. Prince Aester is currently commanding a 1/3 of The 4th Regiment of the King's Army and is being advised by The Hawk Company, led by Captains Saunders and Attaturk. He has proved himself to be a less than effective leader.

Prince Ernon is 21 years old and could be confused for Aester’s twin in terms of looks, with the exception of his shorter hair cut. The two brothers are only alike in terms of physical appearance for Ernon is a quiet individual who is quite well educated and studied. He takes his role as prince very seriously and has shown a great mind for tactics and politics. Ernon is quite fascinated by boats and the naval life, often taking his personal ketch that he captains out into open waters. However, he has a distinct lack of social prowess, being seen by many of the nobles as slightly off putting because of his awkwardness. Ernon is considered the more princely of the two brothers, despite his inability to maintain composure around large crowds. He is never seen without his best friend Arcagio Cezzara and it is widely whispered that the two enjoy a more personal relationship.
