*"The youngest dying king in the bloodline, yet one of the strongest reigns in Endorian history. He was cherished by all, forgotten by none." - Sir Edmund Shangton of Norther Isle.*

King Endoric III was the High King of Fagia from 568 AP 4E at the young age of sixteen until his sudden and tragic death in 586 AP 4E at the age of thirty-four. He was the seventeenth king in the Endoric bloodline and was the third counsel member of the Elder Halturian Council during his reign. He was a war general like his father before him, and saught to unite all that he could between the different realms of Halturia.

## Name Origin

His full name is Thyrek Romion Endoric IV, which was a name passed down from his father and his forefathers previously. The word 'Thyrek' and 'Romion' collectively mean "Unseizable Fury" and the word 'Endoric' has Celestial Origins, most likely meaning "Truth" as the modern celestial word is Edorai.

## Description

King Endoric III was born with light brown hair and blue eyes. His look differed from his other family members before him, with a smaller frame and was shorter, standing at 5'7", but despite this he was an excellent and honed warrior on the field.

## Life and Childhood

He was born on March 6th, 552 AP 4E to Tyrek Romion Endoric and Cassandria in Sella Stronghold, Endoria. He was the younger brother of Maximus Endoric, who was eleven ears older than him. As a child, he was largely neglected and abused by his parents, who were seen as the most cruel and wrathful leaders Endoria had ever known, not to mention their heavy attention upon his older brother. However, this would be short lived as when he was six years old, his parents would both be murdered by an unknown figure and their bodies would never be found. This resulted in his older brother being ordained as the new King of Fagia. Tyrek would see this both a tragedy and a relief, as Maximus would be left to raise him. He proved to be a much better leader for him, showing him the reigns for leading a kingdom and country, utilizing his little experience in solo standing in leadership. The brothers had a fair and strong bond, frequently seen together helping the less fortunate in Endoria and inspired all with their young besetten wisdom.

Together, the brothers were able to unite the countries armies against the abyssal forces that invaded the lands of Fagia in the year 566 AP 4E during the "Invasion by the Forsaken." Tyrek would take his blade to the forces of the abyss at the young age of fourteen, believing the true way to become a master in combat is to fight in the fields. After a close call and almost perishing to the hands of an enemy, he would call upon all of the blacksmiths throughout the lands of Fagia, declaring he needed a master-smith to forge him armour strong enough to survive a blow from the strongest of beasts. Among the hundreds of smiths that boasted and declared themselves the greatest, only one caught his eye and was employed by Tyrek. The smith was named Dieter Beckienbach, a half-Dwarven man who helped the young Prince create a powerful and fashionable set of armour, which he called the "Unperishable Plates of Endoria." He adorned this armour during his battles against the abyssal abbarations that attacked his people, and it proved to be a fine piece of craftsmanship, negating any blow and spell pit against him on the battlefield.

However, no matter how strong his armour was, it would not protect his older brother from falling one day during an ambush that he himself was barely able to escape, Maximus slung over his shoulder. When he returned to Sella Stronghold, he held a royal funeral for him, and on September 8th, 568 AP 4E he was crowned the seventeenth king of Endoria. Despite his young age and lack of proper political counseling, he showed himself to be a competent and mature king. The Invasion that once killed his brother would be quenched and ended shortly after becoming king.

As King of Fagia, Tyrek thought his life would become significantly easier, but this remained untrue, as he was reportedly more depressed and lonely.
