Name: Duke Alric Belmore
Age: 56
Race: Human

Duke Alric Belmore serves as the appointed ruler of the Kingdom of Bera, entrusted with the stewardship of Llithe’s most fertile lands following the fall of House Berathian during the war of Kingdom Come. When King Altair Aurelius consolidated the realm under Reach, House Belmore was chosen to govern Bera and ensure the stability of the agricultural heartland. Alric accepted this responsibility not as a triumph of power but as a solemn duty. The capital he inherited was still scarred from war, its once-proud walls and bustling markets reduced to echoes of a former era.

Alric’s reputation was never built through battlefield glory or political ambition. Instead, he earned respect through patience and discipline. Long before he became Duke, Alric spent years working alongside stewards, caravan leaders, and village heads throughout Bera’s farmlands. He learned how harvest cycles, irrigation channels, livestock routes, and trade caravans sustained the entire realm. This practical knowledge shaped his belief that the strength of a kingdom is not measured by armies or monuments, but by whether its people are fed and its land remains healthy.

Under Alric’s leadership, Bera has slowly rebuilt itself into a stable agricultural powerhouse. Markets once again overflow with produce, grain shipments travel daily across the thirteen trade routes, and villages long abandoned after the war have begun to repopulate. While Bera is no longer the political capital of Llithe, it remains its lifeline. Alric has never attempted to reclaim the grand prestige of the Berathian dynasty. Instead, he has focused on strengthening the foundations that keep the kingdom alive.

Though calm and measured in public, Duke Alric is deeply aware of the history beneath his rule. The fields he governs once belonged to the Berathians, whose dynasty shaped Llithe for generations before its fall. Rather than erase that memory, Alric treats it with quiet reverence. He believes the best way to honor the past is not through ceremony, but through stewardship. As long as Bera continues to nourish the realm, the legacy of those who built it will endure.
