History
Reign
Sven inherited a Kingdom that was filled with internal crisis and with mounted tensions against the Holy Orenian Empire. After the abdication of Halvar Edvardsson at the pressure of numerous Norlandic clans, Clan Freysson and Clan Kvitravn began calling for the tradition of Kingsmoot to be imposed to decide the next King. This briefly sparked internal tensions and rumors of a possible civil war began to spread. However, following Sven's coronation, Clan Freysson backed down and a few months later, Clan Kvitravn would accept Sven's rule as well.
After diplomacy broke down between the Kingdom of Norland and the Holy Orenian Empire, Sven held a kingdom-wide court to decide if Norland would wage war on the Holy Orenian Empire. While many Elysian clans such as Clan Nria, Clan de Astrea, and the Varhelm clan of O'Hara opposed the idea of going to war with Oren, several Varhelm clans supported going to war including Clan Vildr, Clan Kvitravn, Clan Freysson, and some members of the royal Clan Edvardsson. After months of consideration and internal debate between the King's Council, the decision to wage war was made, which began the War of Three Kingdoms.
