Biography
Early Life
Alvar was born in the year 1694 to the reknowned commander Braedyn Ruric, a famed swordsmaster and marshal having served under the reign of Thoromir II Ruric during his tenure as Earl of Nordengrad. Alvar was born Second Youngest of Three brothers, the oldest being Doran. During Alvar's early years he took the traditional role of every young Rurikid, he trained with sword, horse, and bow. Having excelled in both even above both his brothers, Alvar then took a more diplomatic approach having read numerous books on the history of his people becoming farmiliar with the triumphs and fails of past Norlandic kings, during this time the Norlandic people were in exile since the aftermath of the Third Atlas Coalition War, until his older brother Doran took up the mantle of House Ruric and flocked the Norlandic citizens to Ashfjord, which Alvar played a big part in the construction of, Doran named himself Prince of Vilachia a few days after the completiton of the city, although Doran's reign would be cut short due to constant Imperial pressure, leaving Alvar to depart and supposedly snake his older brother by vassalizing under the Empire of Man, bringing large amounts of the Norlandic people with him, leaving his brother with little to no retinue Doran went into hiding, leaving Alvar as the High Chieftian of House Ruric. Alvar quickly began to design a new city one worthy of the Norlandic flock, the quick construction stunned the Imperials having the city be built in only a matter of months, this marking the beginning of his reign as Earl of Nordengrad.
As Earl of Nordengrad
Alvar having just recently vassalized under the Empire of Man, quickly took up matters of state with the intent of reforming the Norlandic people, having his scribes write a list of laws that all citizens within Nordengradic region must abide by. During the first year of his reign Dunharrow flourished having never seen a lack of people within the confinements of the city. Not much is noted during his tenure as Earl, apart from the eventual construction of Dunharrow, having ordered its reconstruction only after a few months of it being constructed. One of his most notable acts as Earl was to fully remove the Caunter Clan from the Rurikid name, fully bastardizing its branch removing their ability to moot and their claim of Nordengrad.
As King of Norland
Having fully complete the reconstruction of the city, for his loyalty to the Empire of Renatus during the War of the Two Emperors, Alvar was granted the title King of Norland back, and was coronated by Aeyn Edvardsson directly after the coronation of Godfrey III, Emperor of Renatus within the Imperial City of Helena.
