Drystan I of Iadria

King Drystan I Arvait, known as the Butcher of Kestalor in the Southern Nations, was King of Iadria. Drystan was perhaps best known for his military intervention in the Celliden Civil War, which finalized the collapse of the Kingdom of Kestalor and began the War for Kestalor against the Sovereignty of Vestus and Kingdom of Tenval's Novarian Alliance. Despite the disastrous casualty rates of the War and its ending in a stalemate with the Treaty of Kingshill in 615, Drystan had successfully expanded Iadrian territory to include the isle of Baldon and a significant portion of the northeastern coast of Kestalor by his death in 6A 623. A highly controversial figure in the Western Nations, Drystan was known as one of the greatest Arvait kings and a scion of Jareche in Iadria, but was infamous among his Kingdom's opponents as a cruel warmonger and tyrant. Despite these conflicting viewpoints on Drystan's reign, many of both opinions likened him to King Castor I for his determination to expand the borders of Iadria regardless of the cost.
