King Cailan

The careless King of Ferelden

Character

Cailan is a young, inexperienced man who founds himself as King of Ferelden after his father is lost at sea. Unlike his heroic predecessor, however, in the five years of his reign, it's clear that he's not adept to the specifics of manorialism, preferring a life of leisure. Such indulgences, however, are not to be taken lightly, as his mind is sharp and he's good at turning expectations against others. His handsome figure is popular with lords and ladies alike, making him unexpectedly popular. The careless King of Ferelden

Introduction

*The Tevinter Imperium built Ostagar long ago, to prevent the Wilders to invade the lowlands to the north.

Even though they only ever met once as children, he stayed informed about his life. King Cailan wasn't raised by his father alone. Loghain helped raise him and helped to organize his marriage to Anora, as they grew up together. He was described at that time as always following her lead, and being thoroughly under her thumb. While Anora eventually grew fond of Cailan's charms, he was not above committing a few indiscretions with other women during their marriage. King Cailan never found himself heavily involved in Ferelden's politics, and seemed satisfied about Anora dealing with the administrative aspects of government, as in his mind, a true king's duty was to…
