[[King Adelbern]] is the old, brave, and sometimes stubborn, king of [[Ascalon]]. He was a [[warrior]] of great repute during [[the Guild Wars]]. He fought many glorious battles for his former guild [[Ascalon's Chosen]] including the famous [[Battle of Rin]] where legends were made of how he saved Ascalon that day. As king, he is loved by his citizens both for his demeanor and his integrity.

During the Guild Wars, the [[Royal Family]] (which had ruled Ascalon for centuries) was weak.

General

Descended from King Doric, King Adelbern is well-liked by the citizens of Ascalon. His easy demeanor and battlefield heroics secured his spot as one of the most popular kings in the history of the walled nation.

In his younger days, Adelbern was the champion of his guild, Ascalon’s Chosen. Tales of his feats during the Guild Wars are told and retold today—the enemies he fought growing larger and fiercer as the stories are passed from one mouth to the next.

He’s older now, and though he’s a well-liked king, his insistence that the army can hold back the beasts from the north has started the people whispering to each other in the streets. Not everyone agrees with the king on this matter. Making matters worse, Prince Rurik, the king’s eldest son and heir to the throne, is among those who criticize Adelbern’s policies. And though he is close to his son, the king and the prince often do not see eye to eye.
