Personal history
Theodwin IV would be born into the ruling family of Zinostan, with his father being King Ansovald who ruled Zinostan well enough. His early life would be spent mainly preparing for the duty that is ruling the city, being tutored in the ways of state-craft and warfare. He would start to develop signs of leprosy at about 11 years of age, and as such began to go to the local churches to pray. He even went to a mosque a few times and prayed with the Inman who staffed it, finding comfort in both the local faith and the Flame. He would ascend to the throne after his fathers death at the age of 17, and by then his leprosy began to worsen. However he was in good spirts, having a mask crafted for him to make it less unpleasant for his subjects and his advisors to look upon him. He would prove himself wise by enacting my edicts that would see the nation fo Zinostan bloosom economically, and made it an incredibly safe city to live in. He would be hailed as the hero of many faiths, and would be held as a paragon of virtue. The city of Zinostan would then be attacked by a marauding tribe of greenskins when Theodwin was about 20. He would display his strategic genius when he charged the horde of 3,000 orcs with only 300 warriors, and amazingly rode out at the head of this charge despite his leprosy making fighting hard, let alone incredibly dangerous. It is said he glowed with a mixture of holy light from the gods he worshipped, and used this and his strategic genius to slay the skirmishing orcs, and then make ready to hold the city in a prolonged siege that eventually was routed when the Great Sultana sent forces to help liberate it from the numberless Orc hordes. Since then, he has ruled justly and fairly, withstanding the many sieges that monsters and invaders lay upon the city state of Zinostan, but it is believed that as long as he lives, the city will never fall.
