Lord Darvled has rapidly risen to power on the back of more aggressive and human-centric policies and bias.
Biography
The number of criminal convictions, property confiscations, and failed business deals involving other species has risen dramatically and many are feeling increasingly unwelcome and ostracised. Across the counties that surround the great city, special constables now enforce the law and are taking heavier taxes, especially from the “alien” races that live there.
Perhaps even more disturbing is Darvled’s “master plan”—the wall being built to the west of the Dragon’s Teeth Mountains far to the north. Ostensibly a barrier to keep out invaders such as marauding orcs or goblins, many whisper that perhaps Darvled is trying to build himself a far-reaching empire and keep his subjects contained. That he feels safe enough to stretch his arm so far, for the wall is theoretically well beyond the northern limits of his realm, is noteworthy.
A decade of building has resulted in an incomplete hotchpotch of a defensive line, however. Elegant and imposing in places and barely a line of sharpened wooden stakes in others, Darvled nonetheless insists on the project continuing and Valentica’s military size and aggression toward its smaller neighbours is becoming a serious concern.
