Gwylliam

The last of the Seren kings who made the discovery that the island nation of which he was the rightful ruler was doomed to disolve in fire. Gwylliam was, by nature and training, an architect, an engineer, a smith. He refused to accept his kingdom's death knell, and instead decided to find a way to preserve the culture that his royal line had fought so hard to protect. He undertook great plans to evacuated the Island, although some of his subjects, notably from the older races, such as the Liringlas, chose to stay behind rather than leave, even in the face of impending disaster. Others chose to travel to nearby landmasses within the shipping lanes that had been plied by Seren sailors for centuries. But Gwylliam was not satisfied with either of those alternatives. He wanted to find a place where the Seren culture of all it's races could be preserved, a sanctuary for his subjects, where they could rebuild their civilization. To that end he chose a sailor, a man of Ancient Seren stock, who was called Merithyn the Explorer. He was sent out in a small ship, alone, to find a suitable place to relocate the Seren who wanted to flee
