Sven Eiriksson Ruric was selected as King by Kingsmoot after the abdication of his father, Eirik Thorsson Ruric, in 1551. He was succeeded by his older brother, Hakon Eiriksson Ruric. During his father's reign, Sven pursued the life of a Bard, and spread word across Norland of the virtues of the arts, leading to further growth in his own rule. Late in his life, Sven was declared a Paragon of the Red Faith, specifically in relation to the arts, music, and celebrations.

History

In 1556, Sven was declared to be in rebellion by his overlord, Emperor John II of Oren.

The end of Sven's reign was marked by the Sack of Seahelm, an event which culminated in the destruction of the Kingdom of Norland. Sven then abdicated in favour of his older brother Hakon Eiriksson Ruric, chosen by Kingsmoot.
