William Silversteed took up the throne of Silversteed at the tender age of 16, it is known that he lead the House of Silversteed from De Castro, towards Norland, where he would make House Silversteed the Second Strongest House in Norland, trailing behind the Royal House of Ruric. He abdicated to Avalon Silversteed due to the reason of suspecting Avalon will try to kill him. He left for many years, until his final return, hearing the news that Avalon Silversteed had rebelled from Norland, and attempted to make his own Kingdom, William rallied the Silversteed banners, and promised to the people of his House, and Norland, that Avalon will be destroyed.
Early Life
William was born in Castrov, the main settlement of the family De Castro, his father Ethan Silversteed died only a few days before William was born, upon Ethan's body, Elias De Castro found a note upon Ethan's body, claiming that he wants Elias to raise his child. So from the time he was 1 to 16, Elias trained him in the art of the sword, archery, and cavalry.
Reign
At the age of 16 William rallied the remaining Silversteed troops from all across the land of Axios claiming that they would later ride for Norland. Upon their arrival, William quickly began to mass recruit for his House, levying 3,000 soldiers. William quickly rose up in the ranks, being made a Knight, as well as getting his own land, which he would later call Silverholt.. Under the Reign of Arytom I Ruric, a small spark of Silversteed rebellion, where 20 Silversteed Knights, met with 10 Ashguard soldiers, they would insult each other for an hour, until a bird was sent to Arytom by William. Arytom made his way over and solved the situation, Hannah Cooper was able to keep the sword that she had recently found in the crypts of Norland. During the reign of Javier I Ruric, William kept recruiting for his levy, rising up to become one of the largest House's in Norland, trailing behind only that of Ruric. During the Phillips war, William was getting news from Nivan Selothan, claiming that the war was lost and that Javier intended to do evil things, Nivan claimed that he could get William in contact with the House of Romstun, William pondered this for a few days, until he decided that he must fight alongside his king. Upon the return of Avalon Silversteed, William was getting information from his spies, that Avalon quickly rose to power and that Avalon intended to use it all to remove William as head of House.. William abdicated to Avalon, in order to avoid his death.
Return
Upon hearing news that Avalon had broken his oath to Jory Ruric, William wrote a notice, claiming that he will destroy Avalon, and that he wishes for any Silversteeds that are loyal to him to sally with him for when the time comes, William will declare war upon Avalon. Avalon responded to this notice, by attempting to revoke the names of Silversteed from William, this did not work as he did not have the permission of the faith. William was gifted a small amount of land, he would slowly construct a small fortress by the name of Jornburg. Following Avalon's death, William would regain the title of head of the house.
