How King Galandir died and who King Malevolus was

Rumours about the short reign of Malevolous.

I am lucky to have a sister like mine, I must say. She is often being very helpful with my researches. For example the other day...

Jane:

Hey.
Matthias?

Matthias:

Yes?

Jane:

I've seen you on a picture of an older guild.
I wanted to ask you some stuff. :)

Matthias:

Sure, ask me anything.

 

The two went behind the bank to the docks of the fisher village.

 

Matthias:

Yes?

Jane:

Were you around back when Galandir got killed?

Matthias:

Yes.
I remember that fateful day.

Jane:

Could you tell me about it?

Matthias:

After all the festivities.
I remember... I believe it was after the Blue moon festival in Andris.

Jane:

Ah.

Matthias:

The king called everyone into his castle for a word.
And if I remember correctly, someone suspected a soul attacking the King and running away.
All hell broke loose.
There was talk about him being put in jail, and exiled.
My memory fails me on his name.

Jane:

*nods* I can find that.
What happened to Galandir afterwards and how did he come back?

Matthias:

I don't think he ever died.

Jane:

Oh..

 

Matthias:

He was injured by the bolt.
But not killed.

Jane:

I remember someone writing this:
"The former King of Mirith was slain by the mage Coroth. History will remember his name."
That is what I've found.

 

Matthias:

Coroth... sounds familiar.
Maybe he was killed... what is this of him coming back?
I mean, it was so many years ago..

Jane:

Oh.

Matthias:

An old wizard becomes forgetful.
But I remember being in the room.

Jane:

I just wondered how Galandir became King and who was King before him.

Matthias:

I always remember him being king.

Jane:

And I found this about him being killed.
So I was asking myself how he got back or if he did.

 

Matthias:

I suppose he didn't.
I'm not around Andris much.

Jane:

"Coroth the Assassin was a former mage guard of the court of King Galandir"
"In events shrouded in mystery and related somehow to the cleric Gidéon"

Matthias:

Yes, that sounds accurate.

Jane:

"he was corrupted and slew his former master in the early stages of the Neth Strife."

Matthias:

Ah, yes.

 

Jane:

So Galandir never really died.
*hiccup*

Matthias:

I'm not sure.. its one of Oberin's mysteries.
I suppose he did, though.

Jane:

I might ask Stefan.
If he did...
Then who is King of Mirith?

Matthias:

If it says he did, I'm sure he did.

Jane:

*nods*

Matthias:

What class are you, miss...

 

And the two strangers went for a hunt.

 

Jane:

Another question.

Matthias:

Yes?

Jane:

Does the name Malevolus tell you something?

Matthias:

Rings a bell.

Jane:

Malevolus the King of Mirith?

Matthias:

He does not reign any more.

So he once did reign. Shogun and Yuxu had been telling me about him before. Luckily I found some more informations about him and many others...
