Alduin Eralith is the King of Elenoir, the kingdom of elves. He is the son of the previous king Virion Eralith, the husband of Merial Eralith and the father of Tessia Eralith.

Alduin ends up betraying Dicathen and siding with Agrona Vritra, helping his forces infiltrate the Castle, in order to save his daughter from her corrupted beast will.[2] In the end, however, Agrona does not want someone with feeble loyalty and Alduin, along with his wife and the Glayders, are executed.[3]

Appearance[]

Alduin has the looks of a middle-aged man. He is tall, with a muscular body, usually clad in a loose, decorated robe. His emerald eyes are slanted upward and his lips are tense. His expression, along with his short, military-style hair, gave him a dignified, but somewhat reserved appearance. He also has a unique crown on his head to signify his position as the king.[4]

Personality[]

In contrast to his more carefree and brass father, Alduin seems to be more stoic, serious, and traditional. He has a complex relationship with humans after The Second War, due to losing his mother. Even after his daughter was rescued by Arthur, a human, Alduin was still skeptical of Arthur’s intentions and was especially hesitant about allowing him to stay in his kingdom. Beneath his stoicism, however, is a kindhearted man, who loves and cares for his family and people. After seeing how much impact Arthur had on Tessia, he became much more welcoming of Arthur as well as humans.

Abilities & Skills[]

As the King of Elenoir, Alduin has the highest authority within his Kingdom and over his citizens. As a descendant of the royal Eralith bloodline, he is also able to bestow the position of and have power over two Lances.

Quotes[]

  • (To Arthur) "I feel like I’ve never had the chance to properly thank you, (...) For taking such good care of my daughter. From what she and my father tells me, Tessia made it out of some dangerous situations thanks to you."[5]
  • (To Arthur) "Not exactly what I expected a thirteen-year-old boy to say, but when it comes to you, I can’t help but see you as an adult." The former king smirked before shifting his gaze back outside.[5]
  • (To Arthur) "Just an overprotective father’s thoughts running wild. Don’t mind me, Arthur... but say, have you ever thought of one day marrying Tess? (...) I mean, sure, she’s a bit rough around the edges and Merial and I may have spoiled her a bit, but she’s a good girl! I bet she’ll be quite the looker given a few years."[5]
  • (To Arthur) "Ha! Tradition? At how fast Dicathen is changing, there’s no room for tradition," Alduin scoffed. He then bent forward, leaning his arms on his knees. "Arthur, do you like my daughter?"[5]
  • (To Arthur) "You have your head in the right place despite the lack of years under your belt."[5]
  • (To Agrona) "Why are you here? I've done what you asked. I smuggled in your men so they could kill our prisoners."[2]
