Colart V of Hedera

Colart V is the ruling King of Hedera, ascending to the throne at the age of 8 in 3E 232. He is also the nominal dynastic head of the House of Hedera.

Summary
A child ascending to the throne following the untimely death of his father, Colart V's early reign was dominated by a succession of regents and courtiers. This nascent (and unavoidable) dependence on others would change little during his subsequent long reign; the amiable and trusting king consigning the domestic affairs of his realm to both well and ill-intentioned ministers.

As patriarch of the prestigious House of Hedera, however, Colart is far more involved and effectual. With unparalleled knowledge of High Rock's intricate marriage market, Colart has secured countless advantageous marriages for his relatives. Perhaps unintentionally, these efforts have shaped the political landscape of the province, placing the kingdom of Hedera at the heart of a familial coterie.
