### Biography

Crown Prince Herrid is the eldest surviving child of King Ernard III and is the current heir of the kingdom of Ignorland in southern Veshen. Incredibly devoted to the faith of the Arkon and human-supremacist ideals, Herrid is determined to reinstate the Purge Era policies his father ended once he takes the throne.

Crown Prince Herrid is known to be incredibly arrogant and is quick to abuse his position to get what he wants. He is also known to be a womanizer, having sired many bastards throughout the continent.

### History

Herrid was born in 4081 to King Ernard III and Queen Vaela, just 2 years after the king's first wife passed away giving birth to Princess Minva. Never expected to inherit the throne, Herrid was still afforded the best education possible by his father, and was even personally taught by his father in swordsmanship. Herrid did not naturally take to the sword like his father, but was said to be capable, if not cruel, when he would practice with other children in the capital.

Sometime in his late teens, Herrid was granted access to tour the Arkonian capital of Wyvkryszta. His father had been banned at the end of the Purge Era, when King Ernard III ended Purge Era policies, straining relations between the two human nations. It was during his time in Wyvkryszta that Herrid would find his faith in the Arkon. Despite his father's best efforts, Herrid would not abandon his faith when he returned to Igorland. Due to Herrid's stubbornness on non-humans, King Ernard III sent his son to tour Veshen, hoping the distance would do them both good, and hopefully give Herrid an understanding of other cultures in Veshen, softening his views on non-humans.

While on his tour of Veshen Herrid would frequent virtually every tavern he could, only taking in the local cultures to the degree available at brothels. His fun was eventually cut short when his elder brother and sister, Crown Prince Ernard the Younger and Princess Minva died on a return trip from Quipmore in 4105, crossing the Sea Of Veshen. Herrid would be quickly escorted back to Wyvkyrszta, where he would be named the new Crown Prince of Igorland.

Since becoming Crown Prince, Herrid has scaled back his partying ways, instead spending most of his time arguing against his father's counsel and promoting the faith of the Arkon.
