User:Lord Smetana of Arnor

=='''Lord Smetana was born in 675 C.E. in a small town called Manetirium. His father, Grand Duke Letholdus, was next In line to become king of Ios making him a likely recipient of the throne. When his grandfather, King Ulric the Fierce, died of natural causes in the autumn of 688 there was a brief power struggle between Letholdus and his younger brother Fendel. Tragedy struck on the 16th of November when both Smetana's father and mother were found dead inside Castle Reyn allowing Fendel to claim the thrown of Ios and leaving Smetana without a family.

It is now 699 C.E., 11 years later from that unfortunate event, and Lord Smetana, age 24, has come far. Despite supsecting Fendel of the murder of his parents, he has served him dutifully for years and has been able to earn his trust and claim his rightful place as Lord of Arnor. After years of waiting, Lord Smetana has amassed a loyal body of followers, is leader of one of the great houses, and despite being kicked from immediate royal succesion, may soon feel ready to serve his uncle no more.
