Godrius (Character)

Godrius I, also known as Godrius the Mad, The Insane King, and The Cursed Monarch was a famous folkhero and first and former King of Sunshire.

Before Sunshire was formed, the lands that now make the nation were a scattered combination of farms and small trade towns. The land suffered frequent attacks from the nearby Chiefdom of Orukonus. When the attacks reached an unbearable rate, the people of the land called for a hero, and one answered. Godrius made himself known, and, wielding The Ebonsword, slew a thousand Orcs. The entire land rallied behind him, and he united the region into one nation. Over the next two decades, a massive city, Godrius, was built, and named after it's eponymous King.

Over time, Godrius grew weary and inseparable from his weapon. The Ebonsword had corrupted his mind and soon enough he became a terrible ruler. The public, and the Arcane Society, an organisation he had founded, soon turned against him. Godrius' fall came at the hands of Amor, one of Sunshire's best warriors, a hero of the people. In an epic duel, Godrius was slain by Amor's blade. The darkness over Sunshire was lifted, and Amor became King. His bloodline lives to this day, and Sunshire continues to flourish. The memory of Godrius is a reminder, that even the most glorious of heroes can be corrupted ever so easily by the darkest of magics.
