Prince Sewarndt was a prince of Nyrond, and son of former King Archbold III.

Description

Sewarndt was a human mage, 5’ 11" and slim of build. He was pleasantly handsome, with green eyes, brown hair and a fetching smile.^{[citation needed]}

Activities

In Spring 591 CY reports surfaced suggesting Sewarndt had been seen in the Gnatmarsh perhaps in allegiance with the coven of witches said to dwell there.

Relationships

He was the youngest son of the former King Archbold III of Nyrond, but he did not share a mother with his older brother, Nyrond’s current King Lynwerd I.

History

Sewarndt and his older brother Lynwerd were starkly different, and the friction between them led to a minor battle for the crown after their father’s abdication in 586 CY. Lynwerd bested his younger brother, leaving Sewarndt to flee Nyrond, presumably south to Almor. There were whispers among the shadows that he had previously sent a magical messenger to Duke Szeffrin, proposing an alliance, seeing himself as marching back to Kalstrand to become a new Overking. Szeffrin, however, maintains an alliance with King Xavener, and publicly rebuffed any talk of an uprising against the Head of House Darmen.

Lynwerd’s mother died in childbirth and Archbold quickly remarried, to Darielle of House Cranden. Quarlanth of Mowbrenn intimated that Sewarndt might be the true heir to the throne of the Great Kingdom due to his lineage through his mother. Quarlanth claimed the heir to the Malachite Throne has run through the mother’s side of House Cranden since Yalranda was named Overqueen in 75 CY.

Sewarndt was considered an outcast from Nyrond’s Royal Family. Duke Korenflass, a Nyrondal noble, needled him endlessly.
