Lance

is the ruler of New Almekia.
==Profile==
===Appearance===
Lance is a young man with green eyes and shoulder-length blond hair. He wears golden armor and a purple and red cape and fights with two swords.
===Personality===
Lance is a great example of a good prince who's kind to both of his subjects and soldiers to the point of inspiring undying loyalty to them (as shown with Adilicia's conversation with Dryst), and he cares for the welfare of his people. However, he is naive to a fault, unaware of his father Henguist falsely accusing Zemeckis of treason, the jealousy of his "supposed" best friend Irvin, or the resentment Glauze feels towards him, although this changes as he grows into his position. Despite his naivety and inexperience due to his age, he is insightful enough to accept the alliance with Caerleon instead of refusing it, like the similarly naive Lyonesse of Leonia did when she got a similar offer from Norgard.
===Biography===
Lance was the prince of the kingdom of Almekia and was poised to inherent the throne until Zemeckis staged his coup. As his kingdom was reorganized into the Esgares Empire, he fled west and took refuge in the kingdom of Padstow to avoid suffering the same fate as his father. King Coel, the elderly ruler of Padstow, saw Lance as an inspiring young man who could lead the people through difficult times, so he abdicated and allowed Lance to take the throne. Padstow became New Almekia, and Lance resolved to avenge his father's death and reclaim his birthright.
==Gameplay==
At the start of the game, Lance comes across as quite unimpressive when compared to the other rulers in Forsena, being a weak Level 1 Prince and having only Heal and a basic elemental spell in his magic arsenal. With proper care and enough experience, he can grow into a powerful melee fighter.
After capturing Logres and defeating the Esgares Empire, Lance can change his class to King. This promotion gives him access to a Geno-spell (see below) and also boosts his growth rates.
==Grand Edition==
In Grand Edition, Lance changes in the following ways:
* His elements are different.
* He loses Flame and gains Thunder.
* He gains Hit +5%.
* He gains Geno-Thunder and a defense boost when he becomes King.
