==Plot | 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. | |||

After proclaiming how useful ''Fyora's Rod'' was, he tosses it over his head. Roberta makes a dive to save it. King Skarl then gives all the credit to himself and Tormund, while Roberta gets mad (It's interesting to note King Skarl didn't even recognize her as his niece). He then walks off to look over the kingdom, leaving Tormund and Roberta behind. | After proclaiming how useful ''Fyora's Rod'' was, he tosses it over his head. Roberta makes a dive to save it.
