Feddel Doren
Little is known about the childhood of Feddel Doren, as is the case with most Englorvelen persons of significance. What is known is that he was born in a township in the fiefdom of Wellsaria somewhere around 1396 by the Englorvelic calendar. He was witness to the Last War of the Fiefdoms, a large conflict occurring during his adolescence which likely he had the dubious honor of serving in. This may largely have shaped his efforts to unite the fiefdoms into one nation.
One would like to say that when he and his friends played war, he already showed a tactical aptitude at such an early age, but of course, we know little of his childhood. His parents, it is surmised, were disinterested in him and for intents and purposes here threw him to the wolves. Surmising this, many conclude that this led to a life of crime in the alleyways of his native city. Assuming he served in the Last War of the Fiefdoms for Wellsaria, it was ten years hence from that point that he began the Hundred Days War.
In 1430 by that same calendar, the Hundred Days War began with the death of the lord of Wellsaria, Aulston Goring. Taking this opportunity, Doren rushed in to fill the gap, gathering about himself influential merchants, and of course the priests of Maenoch's Order. Using these allies, he convinced the people to serve him, promising them wealth and power beyond the ken of mortal men should the fiefdoms be united in his name. Thousands ran to join the "Newlord's Army", creating a massive swarm of fighting men for the aspiring High-Thane to use against his enemies.
Gathering allies from the other fiefdoms, and powerful tacticians from his own, he cut a swathe through any nation of Englorvelic heritage that would not adknowledge him as its rightful ruler. The war was over in a hundred days, leading to its name. Several hundred thousand dead, the High-Thane planted his standard in the last resisting city that became the capital of the High-Thane's new kingdom, and began his rule.
