Haoldan

Prince Haoldan was the second son of Dralian II of the Theridan Empire, and pretender to the throne following the death of his father. Competing with his elder brother, Cedrinian, who he and many others claimed was illegitimate and the son of Dralian II and a mistress, who replaced the stillborn child the Dralian II and Queen Ledia at birth.
A succession crisis occurred following this, leading to a division of Paledia, each claimant to the throne gathering support, until the crisis reached a head when Haoldan gathered his supporters from the House of Therid and other noble houses and raised his own banner, calling for his army to muster. This led to Cedrinian's own forces mustering, and the Empire was nearly torn in two by civil war. However, before any battles were fought, the major generals in Haoldan's army defected to Cedrinian's side, prompting a loss of morale and troops for Haoldan's army, prompting him to lay down his arms, disband his armies and submit himself to the mercy of his brother.
Haoldan lost out, and his brother being crowned Emperor Cedrinian I. Haoldan, though not publically punished, disappeared entirely from Court and his estates, leaving his fate a mystery.
