The History of Gelder V the Wise

This is the history of Gelder V the Wise, whose given name was Gendry, son of Geldorf, and was oft called the Protector of the North.

Gendry of Bolden was sentenced to the High Throne in 5010ey succeeding Dane Halfelven. He was trained in law and an able jurist.

After reversing the ruling of his predecessor, Gelder began the segment of Damon's Wall that was north of Bolden. He is credited with fighting a long war on land and sea against the Northruners and keeping trade routes to the Free Provinces open. He also commissioned the making of many maps and the first land expeditions looking for a land route to Eastrun.

Gendry sired three children, and two sons, but only one survived to adulthood. Gendry ruled for two sentences until 5030ey. He was succeeded by Alacan II.

Gendry Geldorf died some eighteen years after departing the High Throne and was entombed high on the Breakwater Pass overlooking the Northrun approach to Bolden.
