## Childhood

Draigo Moretherial was born to Leonard & Amber Moretherial as King Leonard's third and youngest child. Draigo and his brother, Winchester Moretherial were close, very close. Winchester was very protective of Draigo however because Draigo needed to less royal training, Draigo became a better warrior than Winchester. Draigo was also treasured by his sister, Paula Moretherial, despite the 9 year age difference they got on greatly.

## Pre-Story

However, when Draigo was 14 (1201), Paula Moretherial (26) married James Warner (28), younger brother of the Lord of Silax, Tomland Warner. This enraged the noble house of House Helter, because King Leonard promised his daughter would marry Rodger Helter (19) of House Helter. House Helter raided their castle after King Leonard was unable to hold up his end of this long overdue deal a battle upon Teserdale in which Draigo fought in the defence and was knocked aside and defeated in combat by Borron Helter, fortunately Borron was a rational man, where as Rodger Helter was not. When Leonard eventually surrendered to the Helters, Nathan Helter (the head of House Helter) demmanded 3 things, that Rodger Helter collect his 'prize' of Paula Moretherial, James Warner be given to them as a prisoner, and they must declare to never question House Helter's command again, Leonard agrees. Draigo and Winchester watch appaulingly as Paula and James Warner are handed over to Rodger Helter, Rodger slaughtered James there in the throne room of Mordale, he split his skull with his hands. Then he carried Paula Moretherial off to her death, Draigo learnt tails off how he raped her and eventually killed her before they even reached home.

After the death of her daughter, Amber Palorina went slightly insane and was furious at her husband and eventually crammed a fork into his throat while he was asleep. She was put on the trial by the church, and her advisor / church representative, Ezekial Sparose sentenced her to death. By 1202, Draigo had lost his sister, father & mother. His brother, Winchester was crowned the new King of Mordale, King Winchester, the 16th king of Mordale.

In 1208, when Draigo was 21 years old, Winchester organised a marriage proposal between Draigo and their opposition in the Brasslands, Naomi Brass. They married and quickly Naomi established equality in their relationship, she was the brains and Draigo was the strength. Many questioned by King Winchester didn't marry Naomi himself but it was shrugged off.

In 1211, Winchester was found bedding another man, Shaun, the heir of House Aaron. His advisor Ezekial Sparose had turned on him and sentenced him and his partner to death, however due to much pleading by Draigo, his sentence was reduced to excile and Shaun was killed and his body was returned Joiners Keep, the home of House Aaron. This did cause a conflict between the Whitelands and Mordale, but the chuch assumed all blame for the event. Draigo was crowned the King of Mordale, King Draigo, the 17th king of Mordale, and his brother Winchester was from now on known as 'The Naked King' because after his arrest, he marched through the streets naked and covered in Shaun Aaron's blood.

In 1224, Naomi and Draigo had their first child, Philip Moretherial, the heir to Mordale, and then 2 years later in 1226, they had their second child, Stefan Moretherial.
