Victor Langley is a retired history professor who has spent decades studying medieval warfare, strategy, and political history.
- After retirement, he felt lost, struggling to fill the intellectual void that his university lectures once occupied.
- His wife passed away five years ago, and his children have moved abroad, leaving him to navigate life mostly alone.
- He stumbled upon the game by accident, initially dismissing it as something for younger people.
- But when he saw the complex strategies, kingdom politics, and battle tactics involved, he realized…
This was his classroom all over again—just in a different form.
Now, the kingdom listens when Victor speaks, because his understanding of medieval warfare far surpasses most players.
He isn’t here to rule—he’s here to teach.
Game World Identity: Lord Eldrin the Sage
- Title: The Kingdom’s Unofficial Mentor
- Reputation: The wise elder of the game, offering knowledge, strategy, and perspective to those willing to listen.
- Tactics: Guides others to victory, avoids unnecessary conflict, plays the long game.
- Weaknesses: Prefers diplomacy over direct action, avoids leadership roles, can be seen as outdated by younger players.
Lord Eldrin is not a warrior, not a king, but something greater—a keeper of knowledge.
- He doesn’t lead armies—he teaches others how to lead armies.
- He doesn’t seize power—he warns others about the dangers of unchecked power.
- Many underestimate him at first, seeing him as just an old man in a world dominated by war and politics.
But when players make reckless choices, betray their allies, or underestimate their enemies,
They often wish they had listened to Lord Eldrin first.
Even the most powerful rulers seek his counsel, knowing that wisdom is sometimes stronger than the sword.
Current Status:
For now, Lord Eldrin continues his role as the kingdom’s quiet observer and trusted guide.
But as new wars threaten to reshape the kingdom, will he step forward to ensure history does not repeat itself?
