Prince Astor

Astor was the eldest son of King Dremar the 3rd and thus believed that he would become the next king of Duthgar, in his mind this means that he had the right to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.Astor had short black hair, a sharp nose and brown eyes, he would always wear the royal crest emblazoned somewhere on his clothing and his signet ring. Astor would take from shops and passers by with out paying for anything, or challenging people to fights, tests of strength / skill that they were not allowed to win, if anyone displeased Astor with their responses then he would have them punished, which meant that very quickly no one would dare say anything to criticise his actions meaning that they went largely unchecked. Astor's father reprimanded Astor every so often when his actions got out of control but Dremar was often quite busy running the kingdom. Dremar grew annoyed at the way Astor treated his people and decided that Astor was not fit to rule the kingdom, nor was Astor's brother Prince Farlin so Dremar's stuffed dog Koso was made heir to the thrown. This enraged Astor and he took it out on a number of dogs and dog owners down in The Summer Coast where he went to calm down after the news. When Dremar died however Koso was still next inline to the throne officially, Astor instantly claimed that he was the rightful king but the Advisers to the King insisted that Koso and thus them on his behalf were the rightful rulers. This claim to power would have been easy enough to quell if it wasn't for the fact that Farlin claimed that he should be King and some of the nobles supported this claim. The resulting war became known as The Duthgarian civil war, in which both princes were killed and King Koso and his advisers cemented their rule of the country.
