Tristan Gaebolg III is the 36th descendent of the Gaebolg family and king of Rune-Midgarts. Many believe his most notable action was repealing a kingdom-wide ban of alcohol. In addition to running the kingdom, he also officiated marriages at the Prontera Sanctuary. It is an open secret that he has recently gone missing.

Personality

Tristan was known for his sagacity and thoughtfulness, qualities that endeared him to his subjects and his court. He possessed a deep and abiding sense of responsibility towards his kingdom, often placing the welfare of his people above his personal desires. His decisions, though occasionally controversial, were always made with the long-term prosperity and stability of Rune-Midgarts in mind. This thoughtful and foresighted approach to rulership won him the respect of many, both within and beyond his kingdom's borders.

Despite his position and power, Tristan maintained a remarkable level of humility. This was perhaps a result of his upbringing as the youngest of seven children, where he learned early on to listen and observe before acting. He was known to seek counsel from a diverse array of advisors, valuing different perspectives and wisdom. This humility, however, never diminished his assertiveness as a leader; when the situation demanded, he could be decisive and commanding, a trait that was particularly evident during crises like the emergence of the Demon King Morroc.

Tristan's personality also had a more introspective and contemplative side. He was a man who pondered deeply on matters of legacy, morality, and the human condition. This introspection was often reflected in his policies and the way he interacted with his subjects. He was not a king who ruled from an ivory tower; rather, he endeavored to understand the lives and struggles of his people, often engaging in public ceremonies and events, such as officiating marriages at the Prontera Sanctuary.

However, beneath his calm and composed exterior, there was an undercurrent of melancholy, perhaps a residue of the heavy burdens he bore as a king and the tragic elements of his family history. This melancholy did not weaken him; instead, it gave him a profound empathy and a capacity to connect with those who suffered or were underprivileged.

Tristan's personal life, especially his courtship and marriage to Queen Hallah, revealed a romantic and devoted side. His relationship with Hallah was not merely a political alliance but a partnership based on mutual respect and affection. This aspect of his personality showed a king who valued love, family, and personal happiness, in addition to his kingly duties.

Lo! Hearken to the tale of King Tristan Gaebolg III, the thirty-sixth monarch of Rune-Midgarts, whose ascent to the throne was a journey most uncommon.

His unyielding spirit and strategic mind were beacons of hope in these shadowed times, cementing his legend as one of Rune-Midgarts's most valiant sovereigns.

Scandals and Whisperings

Yet, Tristan's reign was not without its shadows and whispers of scandal:

It was murmured that Tristan did patronise clandestine alchemical endeavours, seeking the secrets of life everlasting. These pursuits, shrouded in mystery, were said to involve magics most forbidden and deeds of questionable morality.

The Enigma of the Veiled Emissary

Scandal did erupt when a mysterious diplomat, veiled and secretive, tarried long at the king's court. This presence birthed rumours of clandestine romance and covert pacts, stirring the cauldron of courtly gossip.

The Lifting of the Prohibition

Tristan's decree to end the ban on spirits was met with a chorus of both praise and disapproval. While many lauded this as a step towards enlightenment, others viewed it as a mere diversion for the masses, causing a rift amongst the kingdom's most conservative ranks.
