Laneig

Lanaigh was the fifth King of Saralainn’s capital, the port of Suduri. The barren lands of Saralainn attracted few inhabitants while the Dúnadan Kingdom lasted. The prince was mainly concerned with his tolls on traffic on the river, and allowed a few Dunman tribes to settle in his territory for rarely fulfilled promises of tribute. The population swelled by refugees from the north and east, and the emergent culture had little use for their princely landlord, rebelling and falling under the sway of Lanaigh’s great-greatgrandfather and the newly proclaimed kingdom. The clans and tribes were unruly, making the Kingdom a rowdy realm. If all the clans and tribes would have acknowledge Lanaigh, then the King of Saralainn would have been be, by far, the most powerful lord in Cardolan, but impostors and other competitiors severely weakened his position. Lanaigh was no fool, for he was exactly the kind of ruler that his people desired – one who would wrestle in the mud with you and buy you a keg of ale should you win. When sober, Lanaigh was an astute politician, but when drunk, he was boisterous, and had a fast and hot temper.
