Akrasil

"I did not seek to become the High King, it was brought upon me and now I must act as Oggoria's leader." - Akrasil

High King Akrasil was the first High King of Oggoria and was the first protector made by Imir, being created by a god practically made him a demigod however all the future High Kings would not be made by a god but instead would be descendants from Akrasil.

Beginnings
Forged from the flames, Akrasil was said to be created by Imir the god of prosperity to protect the realm of Oggoria, upon his creation he would begin construction on one of the first villages creating a kingdom around it housing Whitmore Palace, upon creating the kingdom Akrasil believed that he would find it difficult protecting a realm by himself and decided to recruit some of the toughest warriors he knew from the realm training them into a group which he called the Order of the Crest. The Order formed as the protectors of Oggoria with Akrasil as its leader overseeing the entire realm, with the Order formed Akrasil never saw reason to create a regular military as he believed in freedom for the people of Oggoria and having a full blown military would only make it seem like he was trying to oppress their freedom.

The Realm Wars
Akrasil would be present at the first ever battle which would start the Realm Wars which was the invasion of Oggoria to which the Order of the Crest would be present by his side, however Akrasil was heavily outnumbered against the legions from Astalas he only had a handful of the elite warriors and he knew this and had little to no hope but would rally his men nonetheless. With the war about to begin Akrasil would have help in the form of the Buccaneers of the Vortex who were a pirate fleet that sought to aid the High King in hopes of saving Oggoria from being destroyed and with their combined might would be able to repel the enemy.

With the first battle over Akrasil was voted by the people to become the ruler of Oggoria to which he was reluctant to at first but then took on the responsibility, after the first battle Akrasil also saw it fit to create a regular army as well even though originally he didn't like the idea but if Oggoria needed to defend its lands again it would need an army. The wars would go on for 10 years with Akrasil becoming more depressed with each year as at the end of the year the Order suffered many casualties of great warriors who Akrasil himself knew well.

Reforging the Order
With the war over the Order of the Crest would be disbanded with the remaining members having left due to grief or just because they didn't believe in it anymore and did other things such as mercenary work for a living, whilst this had happened many other factions such as the Grey Hammers sought to ravage villages across Oggoria as the military as a whole was at a all time low. Akrasil himself was overcome with grief however the sight of the realm he swore to protect being ravaged by bandits and barbarians would ignite the fire in him once again and he alone would ride out to deal with these problems, this would once again inspire many people to the point of where Akrasil could reform the Order of the Crest and bring in a new generation of knights who seek to protect the realm.

After reforging the Order Akrasil would help the gods by smiting Fedos sending him back to the Titan realm in the void to where they would hope to never see him again, shortly after doing this the other gods considered making Akrasil a god as well however he would not be able to return to any of the realms unless he had to, Akrasil would accept this role relinquishing his role as the High King and would help Imir watch over the realm of Oggoria.
