Warren I Boyce

King Warren I Boyce is the 17th King of the Boyce Dynasty to rule the Kingdom of Aqoris. 
He is the second son of King Byrron II Boyce and younger brother of King Harlow I Boyce. His brother nigh-destroyed the realm and while Warren has tried to stabilise it, it has brought much strain on his health, causing doubts in the realm due to his successor and younger brother, Prince Ronan Boyce, being an undisputed great military commander, but many believing he does not have the qualities to be a good King and that the realm would fragment under his reign. He has yet to name his son with Alara Ross , Barden, as heir and deciding to keep Prince Ronan as his heir, further dividing the realm.
==Biography==
===Background===
Warren was a mighty warrior in his youth and wielded The Claw, House Boyce's ancestral war-axe, from an early age. He became King after his brother, Harlow and his heir dying in the Borderlands during the Northern War. 
He had also gained experience in ruling and bureaucracy through serving his brother as Lord Adviser. This allowed him to be both a formidable military leader as well as a capable peacetime ruler. He won many battles against the Frost Folk during his reign with a notable victory being gained in 391 AF where Warren killed the Frost King Stykar in hand-to-hand combat, using The Claw. Though, his military victories did not alleviate the realm of the vast amount of debt that it was in to House Ross, the wealthiest house in the realm. Much like his older brother, the war against Frost Folk worsened debts to House Ross and several of the Southlands Houses who produced grain in vast quantities. 
Due to a three year and very harsh winter starting in 397 AF, Warren's health began to decline from the stresses of recovering the realm from the state his brother had left it in. He has gradually become more frail and sick from stress and is unable to perform his duties on some days. He is forced to miss High Council meetings and leave it to Lord Daltas Carlisle while he recovers. Lord Daltas is a competent Adviser but the High Council members do not function together without the presence of the King. He is under medication from the High Curator to help his recovery process in the hopes his health will improve.
