Marcus Wardenfell

"It is time to reclaim Astheria! To reclaim what was lost long ago during the plagues! Upon the ashes of our forefathers and all those that have paid the price to ensure our safety. I shall reclaim what was lost, or I too will meet my end defending my people"

- Marcus Wardenfell, announcing the March of Astheria

Marcus Wardenfell, also known as the Blooded Eagle is the current ruling King of Wardenfell, the fourteen member of the Wardenfell Dynasty and the last living claimant to the Kingdom of Astheria. He was born in the year 3820 of the Violet Era and tutored by scholars, combat instructors and his father on the merits that he would need to rule one day. Wardenfell was at relative peace during his upbringing, the Undead having long been dorment despite a few wayward raids into Wardenfell to remind them that they existed and the Wardenians near-constant vigil on protecting the borders.

He would eventually be crowned King in 3,797 after holding the dying body of his father, the-then ruling king Lothian Wardenfell whom was injured during a border skirmish with some Undead Fiends. But the truth was not so simple, he was purposely attacked by the Undead in what sparked fear throughout the kingdom, that Astheria was 'awakening' after decades of inactivity.

After being crowned King, Marcus became known as the Blooded Eagle for he was covered in his fathers blood for days for washing it off and thus the Order of the Blooded Eagle, consisted of the most skilled knights in the realm honored him with their homage. Marcus would later be responsible for mustering the March on Astheria, consisted of the full military arsenal of Wardenfell, the Silverguard, The Coalition and remnants of Astheria proper in a bold attempt to retake the lost kingdom and restore what was taken from his bloodline centuries ago by the Whitemores
