History

Bransen Waike was elevated to this position in 4690 AR by Queen Sovella Artume. A veteran of the Mendevian Crusades, he was entrusted with this position until the Queen could give birth to her son Edryd. Turning his back on his oath as a paladin, Waike unsuccessfully tried to have Sovella assassinated, blamed the attempt on the nearby city of Daggermark, and started ruling Artume like a thuggish kleptocracy.

Sovella and her infant son survived Waike's assassination attempts and fled to Everbloom, a Milanite monastery, and covertly led a long-simmering rebellion against Waike. This culminated at some point between 4710 AR and 4719 AR in a revolution led by locals and the monks of Milani who sheltered Sovella and Edryd. Edryd was by then an adult and succeeded Waike as Artume's leader.
