[[Image:Skarl10.gif|right]] | '''King Skarl''' is a [[Blue]] [[Skeith]] and king of [[Meridell]]. He is the brother of [[King Hagan]], ruler of the neighbouring, rival kingdom of [[Brightvale]]. | ||
'''King Skarl''' is | |||
His reign has seen many challenges to life in the kingdom. In order to end a period of famine and disease, he sent his knights to retrieve a magical orb that brought prosperity to the kingdom. However, this served as the catalyst for [[Champions of Meridell|war]] when the city it was taken from, the [[Darigan Citadel]], invaded. Following the sacking of Meridell, the two kingdoms enjoyed a short peace after they worked together to defeat the corrupted Spectre of [[Lord Darigan]] and the orb was broken in two. Old tensions flared up again, however, when [[Lord Kass]] took over the Citadel and [[Battle for Meridell|began a second invasion]]. | |||
Skarl spent much of this second invasion entranced by Lord Kass' servant, the [[Court Dancer]]. Although the second invasion was eventually defeated, Meridell fall again, and its King once again bewitched, when [[The Darkest Faerie]] was freed. Meridell and its king would eventually be restored by his niece, [[Roberta]], and [[Tormund|Sir Tormund]]. | |||
Although [[Grumpy Old King|grumpy]] and gluttonous, King Skarl is not without virtue, accepting [[Jeran]], his sister [[Lisha]], and her friends into his kingdom when they became lost there. | |||

Long ago, King Skarl had sent his knights to retrieve a magical orb in order to end the famine and plague in Meridell. When strange, [[Darigan|monstrous]] creatures were spotted in his kingdom, Skarl correctly guessed they were there to take the orb - but he did not reveal at the time that in fact the orb was theirs to begin with, and his knights had stolen it. | |||
When the war began, King Skarl himself joined his knights on the battlefield, as well as releasing [[The Castle Defender]] to fight alongside them. | |||
After Meridell's defeat, he joined the bipartisan force that fought the Spectre of [[Lord Darigan]] and helped defeat his corrupted enemy. Both he and [[Master Vex]] attempted to claim the orb after the Spectre vanished, but it broke in two. | |||
