The History of Larcus IV

This is the history of Larcus IV the Liberator.

Larcus of Rath was sentenced to the high throne in 4950ey succeeding Gelder II.

Larcus ruled while his father, Larcus III, still sat upon the throne of his own realm, Rath. This remained a source of great controversy throughout his first sentence, for while his father had first abdicated in favor of the son, once the latter was seated upon the High Throne the father took up his crown again. This lead many to assume that Larcus IV would be a puppet of the designs of the King of Rath. It was not to be, however.

Larcus proved himself a fair and just High King, brokering great peace with the Eastrun bandits and opening trade to the many princes of Southrun.

Larcus sired but one child, a son. He ruled through three sentences until 4980ey. He was succeeded by Dane Gladfiolas.

Larcus died along with his father in a tragic hunting accident in the year 4986ey after having returned peaceably to Rath.
