Jaggedking Cynhelm Oakhand
Jaggedking Cynhelm Oakhand
Ascending the throne at the tender age of 14, Cynhelm's early reign was guided by the Council of Lanterns, who instilled in him their unwavering belief in magical superiority. Cynhelm quickly grew into a ruthless, calculated leader, shaping the future of Vuulydon into the Vul’Adnian Magistrate, an empire built on the foundation of arcane power. Jaggedking Cynhelm's aggressive expansionist policies saw him seize land from the Cindralkin named Sampsun and allegedly orchestrate the assassination of the Pheori Aelfe leader when he dared speak against his regime. In the place of the fallen leader, Cynhelm installed the aelfe Bren Bonfi, a puppet figurehead loyal to his newly formed empire.
His father, Jaggedking Addison, was slain by the last surviving member of the Indran Seven, fueling Cynhelm's hardened approach to governance and his obsession with magic as the ultimate tool of dominion. Cynhelm formalized this obsession into the Vul’Adnian ideology, where magic ability was not only superior but the backbone of the empire’s structure. His creation of the Viravna Order served as both a spiritual and military arm, dedicated to enforcing this magocratic superiority.
Cynhelm’s reign was also marked by a war with the Seekers of Westmoor, where he sought to claim their magical artifacts for his empire. His harsh conscription of the lowborn to fight in these wars stirred unrest, giving reemergence to the Masok Konsul, who aided the dissidents in hiding behind masks to escape the oppressive grip of the Viravna Order. Despite these rebellions, Cynhelm's rule remained largely unchallenged, thanks to his firm grasp on power and strategic alliances.
By the time of his death at the remarkable age of 102, Cynhelm had reigned for over six decades, living to witness the birth of his grandson, Yssac. He died as one of the longest-lived rulers of his bloodline, leaving behind an empire bound in arcane tradition and dominance—a legacy that would shape the future of the Firefang Jags for generations.
