Ivid I was an Overking of the Great Kingdom and began the rule of house Naelax.

Description

Personality

Activities

"In 443 CY, Ivid I set about hunting down and destroying the remaining Knight Protectors, for they opposed his ascension to the throne after he assassinated the last Rax overking. He did not succeed in destroying them, but they were widely dispersed, and some disappeared from the courts of the provinces to go into hiding."[1]

Relationships

The first Overking of the Great Kingdom to sit upon the Malachite Throne, his son, grandson, and further heirs would also take the name "Ivid". In total, there would be five Ivids, with the last (Ivid V) being known as "Ivid the Undying".

History

"In 437 CY, the upstart House Naelax murdered the Rax overking, inaugurating a series of gruesome civil wars called the Turmoil Between Crowns. Within a decade, Ivid I of Naelax was recognized as the undisputed overking of all Aerdy. As Ivid was rumored to be in league with powerful evil Outsiders, the Malachite Throne of the Great Kingdom became known as the Fiend-Seeing Throne, and the once mighty and upright empire became a bastion of evil and cruelty."[2]
