King of the Freeholdes
Heading into the city, Duncan's eyed were shaded by the large statue standing vigil within her gates. Cayden first king of the freeholdes, who united a dozen kings under his rule and drove the Imperium back to their capital, liberating the oppressed and slaying any devil worshiper he could find. A man so highly praised he had ascended into the pantheon as a champion of the people, who set such a high standard that only one other had ever dared to claim his crown afterward. Duncan knew little of this figure, for few people would speak of the Blood King and most records had apparently been destroyed after his passing.
