Stephan III the Unready

King of Penboyn 452-460. Stephan III, who reigned after and before his two brothers Landau III and Celimesh III, initiated an ill-prepared campaign against Servania in 455. He died with the remains of his army following a disastrous attempt to cross the the Harlindon. When alive, he was known to express his firm belief that wars could won by disregarding danger altogether. Though much larger than Servania's army, Penboyn could not bring its army to bear because of the long supply lines. Turning all his attention to the invasion of Servania, Stephan neglected the defense of the many small Penboynian islands, a fact that enticed Marentia to launch a successful naval campaign immediately upon his death. Stephan's successor, Celimesh III, had enough on his hands trying to rebuild the Penboynian army.
