Narish was King Steinar’s only son. He was barely sixteen when he bid farewell to his father for the last time. People who knew Narish had deeply divided opinions about his fitness to become Vidora’s next king. He was widely seen as lazy, indulgent, and easily distracted by pleasure. His small circle of young friends held disproportionate influence over his attitudes and decisions, often imposing their ideals over facts and realities.
Narish struggled to make decisions without constant affirmation, and he often abandoned decisions as quickly as he made them. He pushed for reforms that would drain the treasury and rapidly destabilize Vidoran society. Some suspected him of being a quiet collaborator during the Vidoran Crisis, removing himself from danger so that he could return later to claim power once the turmoil had passed.
Among the political circles of Vidora, few believed that this version of Narish would ever be confirmed as King of Vidora by the Noble Council.
