Norvais II of Haleglar

Norvais was the eldest son of Horgath VII and crown prince of Haleglar. He was very close with his sister Alariel, whom he confided in often. He was seventeen during the Fourth Goblin War, but did not participate. Instead, he married Selyse Betennin, but that arrangement did not last long as she committed suicide a few months after their wedding.

As the years wore on, it became apparent that the aging king favored his younger son Horgaron for the throne but he did not make an official announcement of it before his death. Horgaron was touring the kingdom and far from Enaliera at the time so Norvais quickly had himself proclaimed king so ensure his succession. He set about in making war first on Huesfear and then on Ellismona, making him unpopular with many and leading to a rebellion by the provinces of Mortinlaa and Svinraa, with Horgaron as their figurehead. The war lasted for most of a year but eventually Horgaron's army entered Enaliera. During this time, Norvais tried to get Alariel to marry, for he wanted her to bear his eventual successors, as he himself had sworn to celibacy due to events in his past. However, Alariel flees from him to the camp of Horgaron.

During the following battle, Norvais catches General Aethernel Aydombiel alone and wounded and is about to slay him when he sees a ring on Aethernel's finger belonging to Alariel. Thus he spares Aethernel, refusing to cause grief to his sister by ending the life of the man she loves. Just after this, Norvais sees that his palace has fallen and knows the battle is lost. He requests that Aethernel end his life now, knowing that his execution will be ordered by Horgaron and Governors Escelor and Soredein, regardless if Aethernel and Alariel protest. He did not want to face that humiliation or cause such distress to his sister, knowing she will better handle news of his death on the battlefield. Reluctantly, Aethernel complies and Norvais is slain, the details of his death revealed to no one.
