King Kaius ir'Wynarn III is the current ruler of Karrnath . [1] Kaius was one of the chief architects of the Treaty of Thronehold , bringing an end to the Last War . [5]
Description
Kaius is a tall, thin man, said to be the spitting image of his great-grandfather Kaius ir'Wynarn I . [5] [6] [7]
Relationships
Kaius has a brother, Gaius , and sister, Haydith who are currently part of a hostage exchange with Thrane and Breland respectively.
Kaius married Etrigani , an elf diplomat from Aerenal , in 993 YK. Kaius also keeps a harem at his palace of Crownhome . [3] [6]
History
Kaius ir'Wynarn was born in 971 YK, the same year his father, Jaron ir'Wynarn , and brother Drago ir'Wynarn passed away, leaving Kaius to inherit the throne. [2] In 972 YK his aunt Moranna ir'Wynarn became regent for Kaius. [8]
King Kaius III assumed the throne of Karrnath on his twentieth birthday in 991 YK , relieving his aunt Moranna to become king. [1] [9]
Kaius was a vocal advocate for peace, a stance that made enemies with some of Karrnath's warlords, who saw the new king's advocacy for peace as a sign of weakness. [10] These enemies included Drago Thul , a military commander who fled Karrnath for Stormreach rather than stand down and accept peace. [11] Despite Kaius's peace efforts, many both within and without Karrnath suspect that these efforts are to buy time for Karrnath's military to rebuild and rearm themselves. [10]
Rumors
Before Drago Thul fled for Stormreach, he accused Kaius III of having been replaced by his great-grandfather, Kaius ir'Wynarn I , at some point before his coronation. [9] [12]
