King Arawn

King Arawn was the Dvergr member of the Five Kings and the immortal bearer of Pressure during the Noble Era.

Kingship

Like the other Kings, King Arawn began as an anchor who helped stabilise the chaotic Mortal Era. Longevity prevented the ordinary release of death and allowed burden failure to accumulate across centuries.

Decline

The ruler's deterioration expressed a distorted form of Pressure: became unable to bear the stress of rule and was trapped or withdrew deep within the Castle complex.

Fall and memory

Public accounts of the ruler's death differ by national and political tradition. The exact split between factual burden failure, revolutionary propaganda and later moral story remains open.
