[[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.

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.
During the Guild Wars, the royal family (which had ruled Ascalon for centuries) was weak. They started to become puppets to the Guilds and almost allowed Ascalon to fall into ruin as a result of the infighting Guilds. Adelbern, supported by the people, rose as a champion to overthrow the corrupt family and bring order to the kingdom.
 
 
Even after [[the Searing]], King Adelbern holds that the [[Ascalon Army]] and [[the Great Northern Wall|the Wall]] can hold back the [[Charr]]. This is a view that is contested by many among his people. Most prominent among them is his son, [[Prince Rurik]]. Rurik believes that Ascalon should strike back at the Charr. There are also others who believe the Charr will overpower the army.

Descended from the great 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.
