Azoun Obarskyr I

King Azoun I (full name Azoun Obarskyr) was a king of Cormyr and the son of King Anglond.

Appearance
Azoun was tall and broad-shouldered with a soft, cultured voice.

History
The prince commissioned the sword Ilbratha from an unknown maker in 375 DR.

In 376 DR, Azoun met the trainee High Wizard Amedahast and offered to tutor her in her studies. The pair met each day for a month, but Amedahast was left devastated when she saw Azoun with another woman. An assassination attempt by Lady Merendil against Azoun in the Royal Gardens in which the assailants wore elven cloaks of invisibility was foiled when Amedahast used her magic and Azoun his sword to defeat them.

Azoun I was a capable general. He invaded the Shoon Imperium in 376 DR, devastating Prince Ashar Tornamn's forces at the Fields of the Dead. Azoun campaigned through Amn, Tethyr, and Valashar, ultimately sacking the city of Ithmong. A contemporary account notes that Azoun paid for food foraged from local farmers.

Some time after his victories against Shoon, Azoun had laid down a fast cog, Valashar's Bane. He took great delight in this vessel.
