Fletcher Vardarus

**Brandon Vardarus** is the eldest son of **Azorius Vardarus** and **Aldreda Vecoa-Vardarus** and the prince of the northern realm, the **Imperium Kingdom**. Strong-minded like his father and quick witted like his mother, he was looked at as one of the perfect examples of how a prince should be and act. He was a key member in the **War of the Realms**, fighting for the independence of the Imperium Kingdom from the **Yavan Empire's** rule. Following the start of the War of the Realms, he takes his father's lead as temporary king and becomes power hungry as a result. One of the great catalyst of his career was sparking the **Battle of the Oroson Highlands**, which saw the death of Prince **Mitchell Cynan**, the prince of the **Robux Kingdom**. Tasked with marrying to expand the bloodline, Brandon has twins with his forbidden elf girlfriend, **Sére Zinceran** and three children with his wife, **Danae Mesazo**.

### Bibliography

#### Youth

Born into royalty, he was the first child of Azorius and Aldreda. He was conceived in **Vespaera**, the paradise island of his parent's honeymoon. His birth was simple and quick, which was seen as a blessing from the gods. Raised in the great halls of the Imperium Kingdom, he was fascinated with the architecture and history that went along with his royalty. Studying and training, he was always seen as an active boy for his age.

One of his greatest interests were the other species and races in the world of **Orbis** and beyond. However, this particular interest would go quietly as his father did not approve of many species across the realm.

When his sister, **Ciera Vardarus**, was born, he was very different from her. While he was studious and interested in combat and history, she was much more interested in politics and people. A couple of years later, **Landon Vardarus** was born. While he was a much quieter child than the other Vardarus children, he became protective over him as his younger brother.

#### Meeting Sére Zinceran

Once Brandon reached the age of twelve, he started to receive proposals to secure his ascendence to the throne. However, like most boys his age, he wasn't interested in the politics of the world. He felt it was a waste of his time as he didn't think of women in that manner.

During his first trip with his parents to the Cross Kingdom Ritual, he loathed the experience due to the uninteresting politics. However, upon arrival, he became instantly fascinated once he saw the different races of Orbis gathering together under the Yavan Empire. There he met the **Chaelon Kingdom** **Altum** **Elves**, meeting Princess Sére Zinceran. For the first time, Brandon saw beauty before him. Throughout the duration of the week long conference, Brandon worked up the courage to talk to the young elf.

As the pair got older, they secretly met in various ways. One of the main methods was Seré using her Tiiol, her kingdom's giant birds, to travel to the lands of the Imperium Kingdom to see Brandon. The pair would spend hours in the forests, trying to get away from their royal duties. One of the only people who knew of this venture was Brandon's brother, Landon, who supported their relationship but knew to keep it a secret.

#### The Death of Aldreda

During a harsh winter season, Aldreda came down with a sickness that was unlike what many had seen in the Northern regions of Orbis. She had contracted the Crystal Rash, which was a harsh rash that turned the skin of its victims into a coarse and hard exterior that slowly ate at the interior body. Dying a slow and painful death, she knew she wasn't going to last long.

Brandon stayed by her mother's side throughout her sickness, which wasn't encouraged due to the unknown nature of the disease. Nevertheless, Brandon visited his mother every day.

When she was laid to rest, Brandon was distraught. He became irrational, unpredictable, and highly emotional, which caused him to become defensive and get into trouble. Though a great deal of people mourned the loss of the kingdom's queen, Brandon never lost sight of the truly devastating loss.

#### Meeting Elvira

After a year, Azorius was urged by his delegation, including his own sister, **Leala Vardarus**, to remarry to strengthen his family line to the throne.
