Prince Leto Raelthorne, the Lion's Coup

The man now king was once a prince serving as the General of the Crown under his vicious and corrupt older brother. Raised to trust law and honor authority, Prince Leto witnessed horrible injustice and gross abuses of power. Believing strongly in the teachings of the Church of Morrow, he could stand idle no longer. He turned his blade against his own brother to seize the throne in a bloody coup and brought open war into the palace halls for the first time in its history.
