Mathis Travinder III (Math-Iss Trav-Inn-Dar)

High King (a.k.a. The Flame King)

In the ancient land of Tillain, Mathis Travinder III was born into a lineage of noble warriors. His father, the brother of the High King, had trained him from a young age in the ways of combat and honor. As Mathis grew older, he became a renowned hero in his own right, earning a reputation for his bravery and skill with a blade.   One fateful day, Mathis embarked on a perilous quest alongside his loyal friend and companion, Tolgaine Alontar. Their mission was to vanquish the fearsome dragon known as Blacksteel, a creature that had plagued the land with its fiery breath for decades. With unwavering determination and unwavering loyalty to each other, Mathis and Tolgaine faced the dragon head-on, their weapons flashing in the sunlight. Through sheer strength and strategic prowess, they managed to slay the mighty Blacksteel, saving countless lives and earning the undying gratitude of the kingdom.   As news of their heroic deed spread throughout Tillain, Mathis and Tolgaine were hailed as champions, and Mathis earned the title of the Prince of Flames. The High King recognized their valor and rewarded them with positions of great influence within the realm. But the calm was short-lived.   Following the untimely death of the High King at the talons of the Red Menace, the throne passed to his young son, Taldaran Travinder VI, known as the Boy King. However, whispers of an illicit affair between the Queen and Tolgaine, the leader of the King's Wing Guard, began to circulate within the court. The legitimacy of the Boy King's claim to the throne was called into question, plunging Tillain into a state of turmoil.   The kingdom found itself divided, torn between loyalty to the Boy King and the demand for justice. The conflict escalated, and The Civil War of Tillain erupted, pitting brother against brother, friend against friend. Mathis, torn between his duty to his family and his love for his friend Tolgaine, faced an impossible choice.   The war raged on, claiming countless lives, until it finally culminated in the Battle of Tassendar Fields. Mathis, leading his loyal warriors into the fray, fought with a passion and fury that seemed to ignite his very soul. His sword blazed with the power of the dragon he had slain, and his enemies fell before him like moths drawn to a flame.   In the heat of battle, Mathis faced the Boy King himself. With a heavy heart, he struck a fatal blow, ending the young ruler's life. Tolgaine, his honor questioned and his heart heavy with regret, was exiled from the kingdom as punishment for his transgressions.   And so, Mathis Travinder III, the Prince of Flames, ascended to the throne. The people hailed him as The Flame King, a leader who embodied the fierce determination and unwavering loyalty that Tillain so desperately needed. Though the wounds of the civil war would take decades to heal, the stability the new king brought was welcomed by the people of Tillain, and hope for a new era would spread throughout the land.
