Personality

The mad king was described as a intelligent and quick witted man in his youth, however as he suffered with mental illness, his mind got progressively worse through his later decades. He was often distracted by ephemera which only he could see. He believed in faeries which he claims to have made a pact with for himself and his descendants to maintain a peace between the two peoples. This madness seemed to manifest fleeting apparitions of faerie folk and other weirdness in his presence. Despite his delusions he was still known to be a capable statesman and warrior in his own right.

History

Jalen Vylan - the mad king - of Tabras (549-584 YG) suffered a form of delusional reality, it is recorded that all sorts of strange objects or beings would appear and disappear in his presence. Some claim these were the demons that tormented him, and the cause of his madness rather than a symptom. A few scholars of the arcane believe he may have been talented in the psionic path of phantasm, and manifested imagery from his delusional beliefs unknowingly. All that is known is they stopped occurring upon his death.

Faerie Pact

In the royal archives there is a treaty scroll written and signed by king Jalen Vylan and an unknown hand which declares a lasting peace between the kingdom and the forest faeries so long as his descendants rule the land. While most folk will not discount the existence of faeries completely, the idea that the king made a pact with them is laughed off when brought up.
