The History of Favian III

This is the history of Favian III, called the Severe.

Favian of Bolden was sentenced by his fellow monarchs in 4901ey, succeeding Marten the Good.

He inherited a Throne which was deeply in debt from the prosecution of Marten's twin wars against the Northruner and the Goblins. While the defeat of those two armies meant a time of great peace and prosperity for all of the Eight Kingdoms, Favian's inability to tax this prosperity directly put the treasury in dire straights.

Favian eventually went to war over the issue of debt with his principal lenders, the principalities of Vyruma Serpentis. After seven years of battles, placed them all under his subjection and greatly expanded the borders of Westrun, such had not been seen since the annex of Collonia.

Favian sired six children and two sons with his wife who died birthing his last. Favian ruled until the election of 4920, making his reign 19 years long. He was succeeded by Timaldus I.

Favian died on the throne of Bolden shortly after the sentencing of Timaldus in 4922ey.
