The Call of the Flame (Chapters 3 & 4)
Malkavius for King Masun
The son of the Legendary Ardrun (this world's King Arthur). A man lacking the deeds behind his name, only the blood. The time of Ardrun was the first sign that the Elvan Age had come to an end, and a new age, an Age of Humans is next. So the pressure is on, to carry on that legacy. Though his followers are skeptical if he can keep it up. He's weighed down by his decisions. Between the rise of Neradial--the Dark Bride, the fall of the Magnir, and the Grave Pestilence, he's grown weary.
Voice: He carries himself with dignity, but lacking in natural majesty or command. His presence doesn't fill a room as it should.
Thank you Master Ultovin. I am relieved to hear that you are willing to lend us your ... talents, as a servant of the Deep God. But from the moment I could speak, to this day, I prayed to the Chieftan of Gods. As did every soul in the Wynland Kingdom. As did my father King Ardrun. Though the Chieftan of Gods has fallen silent, the Deep God will never take his place in worship.
