Woodlanders have always had a strong "independent streak" to them, the Stagwoods, an old, old Woodlander family, is no exception. But Duc Rikard would never be disloyal to the king, no matter how weak me might seem, no matter the king doesn't seem to recognize Rikard's loyalty or prestige, no matter the local clamour for an independent King of the Woodlands—which he is quick to quell.

Details

Background

  • 25ya, married to Teema [Surname]
  • 20ya, became Duc of the Woodlands after his father's death, around the same time his sister, Eliza, died giving birth to Kenrick—concerned about his lack of sons, he decided to unofficially adopt his new nephew "just in case" (to allay vassals' succession concerns)
  • 11ya, Teema died (reason?); remarried, to Annova Fishpoole
  • 10ya, first "actual" son born, to the relief of everyone (except maybe Kenrick)
  • 5ya, toward the end of his Hunting Focus phase, met Sidya in the woods, on a hunt, when he got sidetracked and isolated from the group. He insists he never lay with her, and he has a reputation for truthfulness, but it's still hard for most to believe.

The Royal Dilemma

Woodlanders have always had a strong "independent streak" to them, the Stagwoods, an old, old Woodlander family, is no exception. But Duc Rikard would never be disloyal to the king, no matter how weak me might seem, no matter the king doesn't seem to recognize Rikard's loyalty or prestige, no matter the local clamour for an independent King of the Woodlands—which he is quick to quell. Frankly, the Duc always liked the King, personally, in spite of it. Then, five years ago, he encountered Mistress Sidya in the woods during a hunt and invited her to court, eventually making her his loremaster. To the Duc, she is merely a wise and trusted advisor. To everyone else (behind his back, at least), she is a suspicious, mysterious character, that appeared from nowhere and wormed her way into the halls of Woodland power. Ever since her arrival, things have changed—he has changed—now finding himself always…dissatisfied with the status quo. She insists he should be on the King's Privy Council, pressing him to demand recognition, but his sense of loyalty and honour always restrains him…but for how long?

Traits

CK2: Thrifty clerk.pngHonest.pngJust.pngStubborn.pngZealous.png; Focus: Rulership focus.png; Ambition: Obj become parangon of virtue.png

  • Often pedantic; always correcting people's grammar and such
  • Reputation for strict adherence to the law, and always telling the truth
  • Tends to come across as cold or callous; but there's a rarely-seen soft side to him, especially regarding his children
