King Eodred II
Born Arkapallus Arabasti, King Eodred II adopted the name of Korvosa’s first king when he took the throne, in the hope of achieving the same level of popularity and success as his adopted namesake. Eodred loves the soft touch of females, regardless of race, ethnicity, or (rumors suggest) age. He also enjoys lavishly spending the city’s gold, spoiling himself and his harem with the finest foods and clothes from across the world. On occasion, he even spends gold on the city itself, and under his watch Korvosa built four small orphanages (bringing the city’s total up to five) and the Pantheon of Many.
Despite the foul rumors surrounding him, King Eodred II policy reputation is mixed. Most of his subjects consider him a benign and mostly harmless monarch, more interested in wallowing in his own crapulence than affecting the city in any meaningful way. Some consider him more malevolant by throwing away Queen Domina's legacy of bringing Korvosa closer to Sardis in alliance. Others are greatful for his attention to public works.
A statue of King Eodred II already stands in the center of Eodred Circle, in Midland. As he grows older and the fear of being forgotten grips his heart, Eodred has diverted more of the city’s gold toward public works and monumental structures and more of his personal time toward trying to produce an heir. Critics of the king note that King Eodred has ignored his trophy wife for years, and mock him for just now remembering that he's married.
