History

As a child Thioden was pampered, being the eldest of two children and heir to the throne of Thorden Shire he was raised to be the next king of the shire. As a small boy he spent most of his time with his mother preferring the skills of cooking and cleaning to that of war and farming. Although as he aged this methodology had changed. Around the age of 13, he started spending time with his father, Shildabar, learning basic lively hood of farming, he began studying and learning manuscripts, by the age of 16 he had mastered the knowledge of the land and had become a skilled warrior. At the age of 16, he was sent to the university in the country of Talinor where he was to learn and master the manuscripts of knowledge available there upon the age of 17 his father had fallen ill with the plague although he had some skill in the art of healing magic he was not able to heal his father and then 10 days after falling ill his father passed. Now, with the king of Thorden Shire dead, the crown had fallen to him as the eldest son. But with a heavy heart and for mourning and self blame he has made it his life's mission to stop all deaths and wars, and to find the healing magic to save all. When the island was discovered by the Dargarthian main land, he issued a policy with the southern neighbors Talinor for an alliance to strengthen the defenses of the island. This is to be known as the Endorean Pact which formed the country of Endor.

Current Life and Political Policies

At the moment, Thioden lives in the Thorden Shire, which he is the king and the leader. He has set an alliance with Talinor in the Endorean Pact, which means he is not officially a king, he is still thought of and treated as a king amongst his people. He is captain and second in command of Endor. His leadership has already been proven in the battle of the light house where he lead a mixture of Endoreans and mercenaries to victory against Ghouls capturing a castle and a gold mine for Endor. His policies are just he makes sure there is 0 unemployment in his land because all people need to contribute to the general good of the town. He does not issue taxes. Murder is treated to the harshest possible degree. If you are convicted of murder by the tribal council you will be tortured for 7 days and on the 8th you will be burned and beheaded. When it comes to foreign countries, he would like to avoid war at all costs and just continue to sell goods and make as much money as posable. He does not believe in expanding his land at all only fortifying the land he already possesses.

Religious Views

Like most dwarves, he follows an ancestral religion which requires him to pray to his ancestors for help and guidance. In his religion, the strongest ancestor is his great grandfather, the founder and the creator of Thorden Shire so he is the one that he prays to for guidance and protection. The most scared part of the religion is the ancestral tree. The ancestral tree is where the dead are buried which then are assimilated into the tree and once a year on December 31, the tree grows fruit which is a blessing from the ancestors and during the celebration of torthaí the town will consume one fruit and gain power and wisdom from there ancestor this is also used as the greatest show of respect to another when they are presented with a fruit from the tree.

Dreams and Aspirations
