King Fratnimaniksori


Lived in Era 11, got 1 heir(s) (Slaxswerd II) and was the leader of Bunkabrytari

Fratnimaniksori, son of Slaxswerdh is indeed a king, just as his father - still, there is a huge difference between the rule of them both. Fratnimaniksori has practically no power at all, and is considered a marionette by most people that know anything about him. Even though Slaxswerdh was not a military mastermind (he lost nearly every battle he fought) one could still say he possessed some kind of power over people. That is not the case with Fratnimaniksori; Except for his lands being rather sparsely populated after his fathers rule which is by the way widely accepted as one of the worst ever, he also had to agree with letting the council (representatives of the people) possess the same degree of power as himself! He had no choice, however, and so the deal was made. Had he not accepted the terms, he would not have any power at all.
The major part of his military forces are not owned by himself - but by his "underlings". They get a large portion of land from where they can collect taxes and so on (some of the taxes still go to the King, thank god). In exchange for all that, they have but one duty towards the king: They have to go to war for him. This system is not very efficient actually, but it is sufficient. In other words, the society is pretty much a feudal society.

As for the more individual matters, Fratnimaniksori is a typical king. He likes to eat different kinds of meat, hunt, train with twohanded swords, paint, play the flute, discuss politics (he is not especially good at politics, but he still has the power to perform executions so if you anger him you might just lose your head, which is why he wins all the time - the dead cannot speak) and sing.
He likes puff & slash clothes alot, why he wears them all the time, so he has some kind of sence for fashion. Physically, not all is well though. Once, when he was simply taking a walk in the park, he was struck by lightning so that his hair caught fire. The top of his head was so damaged that hair could no longer grow. Nowadays, he always have different sets of wigs for different occasions. The wigs are always brown, in order to suit the colour of his long, nice beard that cover the whole of his face. Another important detail that should not be overlooked is his wooden leg. No one knows for sure who it really was who sneaked on to him that night and chopped his leg off with a two handed sword that seemed to be about 182 cm long, weighing about 2.7 kg, but it was probably just a friendly prank that went quite a bit wrong.
Speaking of swords, Fratnimaniksori's perhaps dearest possession is his twohanded sword that measures about 170 cm - of course with parrying hooks just below the ricasso, which is clad in leather. One time he accidentally poked the tip of the blade in his eyeball, so now he is blind one one eye. Other than that, he is just and ordinary man who is also a king in a feudal society.
