Father to Gregor the Pious and wife to Tangsy Olothur, Linphonse was the 4th to last monarch of Andorith and famous for his philosophical and historical soirees.

Early Life

According to contemporaries, Linphonse was a studious, outgoing prince. He always knew he was in line for the throne, and had tutors and preparation accordingly. He was well meaning, and listened to the expertise of others.

Marriage

Tangsy was the 5th woman who was arranged to marry Linphonse. All those before died of mysterious causes before anything official could be made. Linphonse and Tangsy's relationship was amiable but distant. Tangsy died in a fire at 45, and Linphonse followed three years later. Their two most notable children were Gregor the Pious, the third to last monarch of Andorith, and Stormdier who became a general in Andorith.

Relationship with his Gregor

Linphonse thought Gregor was a ninkompoop on account of how much he left in the church's hands. Gregor's blind faith and strict adherence to religious dogma was at odds with his father's more educated and open-minded interpretations of scripture and the intentions of church leaders. Linsphonse also liked to party more than Gregor.

His Reign

Linphonse was a hands-off king famous for his philosophical and historical soirees, and his many lovers.
