Sifer Servale was the ruler of Ascurg and one of the original Seven Lords appointed by High King Aelarian II. Before his kingship, Sifer was a warlord who rose to power in Velar, a province on the Isles. He gained control of Velar two years before being named king, using his growing influence to rapidly expand his military forces. Through swift and strategic campaigns, he conquered the entire Isles in less than 200 days, uniting the region under his rule and naming his new kingdom Ascurg. His leadership emphasized military strength, adaptability, and control over Ascurg’s wetlands and waterways, making the region difficult for outsiders to invade.
Over time, however, his descendants lost influence, and Ascurg fragmented as new warlords took control of individual provinces. The once-unified kingdom became a region ruled by competing warlords, a system that persists to the present day.
