Bartac Ordheim

Bartac Ordheim (age 45) is the second son of the late Kellar, The Shrew, Ordheim. Bartac is the current sovereign of the Kingdom of Ordheim. His reign is commended to be on a significant upswing of the kingdom, heavily due to his direct involvement in the welfare of his people. King Bartac for all his experience with civic ordinance he has yet to be tested in warfare.

Appearance
King Bartac Ordheim is light skinned, standing at a height of 5'11", middle aged and showing it. His grey hair flows over the minimalist crown that adorns his brow.

Early Years
Growing up in the shadow of his elder brother, Talaf, Bartac had the distinct freedom of a secondborn heir. He spent his youth with the privileges of being highborn in regards to education, shelter, food, and exposure to the arts and ambassadors from far and wide. Bartac dreamed of travelling and acting as an emissary or diplomat for his elder brother.

Unplanned Ascension
Ten years ago when Bartac was 35 years old, the kingdom suffered an outbreak of Wildfire fever. The outbreak devastated the kingdom. Unforgiving of class, social status, and wealth the outbreak resulted in the death of peasants, merchants, and even members of the royal family in the form of Bartac's brother and the then heir apparent; Talaf Ordheim.

Bartac's sorrow of losing his brother was doubly so after being given the kingdom he never intended on ruling.

Rule of Understanding
King Bartac's reign is widely considered to be a high point and a return to the Proclamation of Sanctuary from which the kingdom was founded upon. He poured money into the remaking of the capital city's walls and invested in the harbors to allow better trade with nearby trading posts like Luxi in the Confederation of Daylight on the Sunset Isles, Breakwater port on the edge of the Feber Hills, and even as far as Jaffa on the shores of the Kentish Sea.
