Eirik Skald

Crown Prince Eirik Skald, eldest son of King Egil, is the current heir to the throne of Asirar. At the age of seventeen, it is already clear that Eirik has no intentions of holding any power, at least not in the political realm. Instead, the young scholar dabbles in chemistry, and whatever other fields of Human science available to him. Finding the pursuit of knowledge more important than anything else, he has fully devoted himself to his studies. Instead, many look to his paternal cousin Svein for future leadership of the island nation.
Due to his somewhat odd personality and nature, there are many rumours among the commoners concerning the young prince, ranging from him being a bastard child and secretly descended from the Elves, to being a changeling put into the court by guild of mages to gain control of Asirar. His royal father has always been quick to denounce any such silly claims.
