Ethelbald Rex Southmark

As the younger brother of the Fertile Kingdom's king, Ethelbald chose to renounce his right to succession and accepted a ducal title as a subject, establishing his rule over the city of White Sails. Renowned for his exceptional administrative acumen and his rare ability to see through the true nature of those around him, he witnessed the protagonist Will's heroic feat of slaying a wyvern and recognized his outstanding qualities, bestowing upon him the rank of knight. He stands as an indispensable pillar of support behind Will's efforts to develop the southern borderlands.
