Jeggred Von Luen Character in Edus - Ancient Kingdoms | World Anvil

Jeggred Von Luen

The name Von Luen carries more weight on Edus than any other set of letters combined into a word. Jeggred Von Luen is the current living bloodline and he alone doubled the effect of the name and what it affects.

Lord Jeggred is a tall half drow male about 5'10''. His white hair carried tints of silver and his purple eyes are a natural link to his drow bloodline. When he is seen outside of his personal quarters, Jeggred is viewed in a gray tone or a black and white visage. This is a magical enchantment. His smirk is known throughout the nations as something that disarms as he holds back knowledge that can cause your downfall at the same time. Jeggred's smirk has toppled nations and removed queens and emperors from their thrones. His mind is sharp and has a natural , almost historically trained mind for politics and ruling. He claims direct descendant of the Shadowed Knight. Born into the Von Luen Bloodline, He is 100 years old, and is the current king and ruler of the nation of Gothmyr.

  As Lord of Gothmyr, Jeggred refuses to take the throne and become a true titled King. He demands the title of Prince, and still claims that "Gothmyr had a king, and no one will succeed him, until they themselves have a child to be a prince." This means until Jeggred produces an heir, he claims the title Prince still and rules as a Principality, but Gothmyr is in all aspects, a kingdom. The Prince has many suitors, and has dalliances with many women, but no heir has been proclaimed. Prince Jeggred is seen with small children around him from time to time, but explains they are children of his citizens.

Prince Jeggred is caring, and doesn't rule with an iron fist. He listens to his people, and defends the City of Kings Watch and the nation of Gothmyr. His borders are constantly tested and he answers back with both Strength and compassion at the same time. Love or hate, every ambassador and ruler around Gothmyr does respect Prince Jeggred. His cunning and dark side, as any ruler or man would have, is of the darkest. Jeggred has been known to build plots that do not come to fruition for decades, crushing nobles or entire families that spit on the throne.

Jeggred is surrounded by a slew of advisors. His right hand man, or Advisor General is Arasmus Everbright, a human male. The rest of those Prince Jeggred confides in are considered his Advisor's Council. The council report to Prince Jeggred daily and keeps him informed on the day-to-day of the City of Kings Watch and the nation of Gothmyr. Its current members consists of:
The throne of Kings Watch protects the nation from the outside, and keep peace within the nation's borders. Prince Jeggred also rules the capitol, Kings Watch, but allows a council of nobles to run the day-to-day activities of the city. With a city as large as Kings Watch, it is nearly impossible to have one person run the entire sprawling metropolis. The ruling council in Kings Watch has been titled "The Council of Eight". The council currently, has a mix of both Blooded nobles and Coin nobles, which are always at each other's throats. Prince Jeggred allows slight infighting and confrontation, because it helps build industry competition and allows others to explain their viewpoints.
