#Nord Forbannet

[mystic-lilac]

Drew the Forbannet Family Tree! In the Kingdom of Talvi the Forbannets rose to power after a civil war and therefore are the newest royal dynasty on the continent. The succession is eldest child inherits regardless of gender. However, younger children can jump the line of succession by issuing a challenge to the current ruler (which is basically a duel).

Feel free to ask questions about any of these characters and I’m happy to answer them!

King of the North

Week 2 of college and I still find time to draw! Anyways here’s a portrait of one of my Original Characters, King Nord Forbannet of Talvi

Some backstory for Nord is that him and his family were nobles under the previous royal family until the family got corrupt. After the Royals raised armies to start a sudden war against Dayitra (A neighboring kingdom) Nord withheld his troops calling the war unjust, thus starting a civil war in Talvi. This civil war, later called the War of the Councillors, saw powerful noble families in Talvi fight each other for either royal favor or to put up Nord as the new king. Initially Nord wasn’t fighting for a new royal family and just wanted more power for the nobility until his younger brothers were captured and executed by the King to “punish” Nord for his treason. After his brother’s deaths, Nord changed his stance and fought to put himself on the throne through right of conquest. After the war was won and Nord was crowned King of Talvi with his wife, Malina, being crowned as consort. Their son and heir, Aksel, was born during the War of the Councillors but he was soon joined by two younger sisters, Mia and Anne, after the war’s end. While people feared Nord initially since there was a lot of propaganda about him being a bloodthirsty war machine he actually was a very rational and warm leader. He focused on the flourishing arts and science during his reign and sponsored playwrights and schools. He spent most of his time domestically but he was still warm towards the other kingdoms and always sought out diplomatic solutions before jumping to war like his predecessor.
