King Balthizar Xantheras

King Balthizar was the first ruler of Orel from the Xantheras Dynasty.

---

In the year 371/5, Balthizar succeeded King Royce Alesard, after his death during the Battle of Ekkryn Sound.

Balthizar was one of the greatest sea-captains of the Orellian Navy and had not only explored much of the world’s oceans, but on many occasions, had fought bravely against the hated Thûlians.

Balthizar’s ship was near the King’s royal war-galley when it was sunk after being set afire by the enemy. Balthizar always regretted that he was unable to save either the king or his two sons, all of whom were lost at sea during that fateful Battle.
