King of Hybern

The King of Hybern · Cauldron-Bearer · The Ancient Enemy

King of Hybern

The oldest war in Prythian wears a crown.

Five centuries waiting for the Wall to thin, then he brought the Cauldron back to break a world he was bored of. No notes. We hate him.

Hybern His war-island HybernFive hundred years since the Treaty and Hybern never let the war end — a kingdom that kept its slaves, kept its hatred, kept the old grievance sharpened across the sea while the rest of Prythian called it peace. From this island he cracked the Cauldron open to pull down the Wall and drag the mortal world back under.Enter Hybern
