King Adolm

King Adolm, was born into peace and luxury, a child of sleepy summers and dreamlike bliss. He was born to the Great King and Queen and thus had the world at his feet as Aldorea waited with beaited breath for him to follow his parents and lead the nation to further splendor.

However, he lacked the drive of his parents. Where his father was proud, he was meek. Where his mother was powerful, he was pitiful. For his world existed within the walls of The Brimstone Palace, everything beyond little more than a tale told to him and so within its walls he remained in blissful ignorance. The young King began to neglect his people, deferring more and more power over to his Pantheon. Over time, the Pantheon became powerful. And with this power, greed grew. The Pantheon ruled with an iron fist and cold retribution against those who would seek to oppose them. Taxes were raised, tithes were demanded until the people of Aldorea had nothing left to give. But still King Adolm did nothing, so isolated was he behind his golden palace walls.

Eventually, the Panthon’s greed became such that they sought to gain the Opal Throne for themselves and enacted a bloody coup within the Palace, striking Adolm down. This act of betrayal was the trigger for The Fall.
