Teiðĩ

== Teiðĩ IV ==
Teiðĩ IV (Teiðĩ OmiudEunód; born in winter, 656 TaD; portrayed by Egg_and_Chris) is the Woleððaani of Hodege. He succeeded his maternal grandmother Laiu III, a week after the latter's death, after the hibogs had gathered and hadn't been able to decide on another sovereign.
=== Early life ===
==== Birth ====
Teiðĩ was born in the winter of 656 TaD to his mother, Brēiðbes Bēiwoleþ, and his father, Tekhdain Khosul II. Teiðĩ was born at sea; he promptly vomited upon his mother and the midwives. This begun his hatred of sailing. He was named Teiðĩ after his father, Tekhdain.
He was the only child of the Hoddish Princess, Brēiðbes, and the Cakht Khosul, Tekhdain. The two weren't particularly fond of one-another, resulting in Brēiðbes being unwilling to bear another one of Tekhdain’s children. Therefore, Brēiðbes and her mother, Laiu Woleþ III, decided that Teiðĩ would be raised in Hodege, thus, in Hodege, he was raised.
==== Upbringing and education ====
For much of his life he lived with his grandmother, Laiu, for his mother often travelled and caroused, wanting little to do with the child. His grandmother would go on to discipline him rather strictly and thoroughly, determined not to allow Teiðĩ to become like his mother.
From the age of six, Teiðĩ began his formal education under two of Hodege's most esteemed learned women, concentrating on religion, philosophy, and the liberal sciences. It was about this age that he also began to be taught how to fight by one of Laiu's favourite knights. He was said to quite enjoy this martial training.
In 668, at 12 years of age, Teiðĩ was taken boar hunting by his cousins, on his mother's side, Hallurð and Hoseunvã. During the hunting trip, Hoseunvã shot Teiðĩ in his right thigh as he prepared to face a small boar with his spear. Unable to defend himself, he was somewhat battered by the boar before Hallurð stepped in and saved him. Hoseunvã, being third in the line of succession, behind Teiðĩ and his mother, claims that it was an accident. This accident had rendered Teiðĩ unable to continue his martial training.
=== Accession ===
In the year 675, Teiðĩ's grandmother and the sovereign, Laiu III, died of old age. The hibogs raced to hold a hiulhibog in Meummade, in order to choose the new sovereign. They could not reach a unanimous vote on any of the six candidates, and thus Teiðĩ was chosen, for he was the first in the line of succession.
