Once called The Steady Flame, King Benduin IV ruled Midrasil with a calm hand and a clear mind for over three decades. A thoughtful and deliberate monarch, he earned the respect of lords and commoners alike — not through conquest, but through balance. Under his reign, the realm enjoyed peace, firm justice, and careful diplomacy with its volatile neighbors.
Now, Benduin lies bedridden by a mysterious illness, pale and silent. His absence is not just a crisis of power — it is a silence echoing through every court, every council chamber, every battlefield waiting to happen.
