Azoun Obarskyr V

Azoun V Obarskyr became the 72nd king of Cormyr, having inherited the throne after the death of his grandfather, the legendary Azoun IV, as well as a mythic sovereign. He is the son of former Crown Princess Tanalasta Obarskyr and Rowan Cormaeril, a scout in the army of Cormyr. Rowan and Tanalasta became lovers during the invasion of the Ghazneths and the war with the Devil Dragon and married before Chauntea's sight (there were no witnesses, however). Tanalasta died following childbirth after fighting the Ghazneths, and Rowan mysteriously disappeared towards the end of the war with the Devil Dragon (he became a Ghazneth himself, but retained enough of his own mind to stop attacking the kingdom).

History
In 1372 DR Azoun was just a babe, and Regent Alusair Obarskyr and Dowager Queen Filfaeril Obarskyr were ruling Cormyr until he came of age. Azoun was cared for by Alaphondar, Royal Sage of Cormyr and lover of Filfaeril. The utmost care was given to keep Azoun's whereabouts a secret, as there were many ambitious malcontents who would wish to do him harm. .

When he finally came of age in 1384 DR at the insistence of the royal court he surprised everyone by immediately stepping into the role of a political animal, a stark contrast to the warrior-king who was his grandfather. He immediately went about trying to change things to be more fair towards the commoners of his kingdom but faced insurmountable adversity from the nobles of the realm. The following year, Azoun had to deal with the effects of the Spellplague and the death/disappearance of a third of his elite war wizards.

He managed to fulfil his royal duties, however and married Nalara Marliir, siring two children Emvar and Foril Obarskyr. Emvar though was murdered by Sembians along with Foril's wife Jemra. Two years later Cormyr entered into a two year long war with Sembia, now a vassal state of Netheril.

A cease fire was called and Daerlun seceded from Cormyr. Overall though, Azoun's reign was viewed as successful his original plan to give rights to the commoners of his land was finally enacted when he signed the Suzail writ shortly before his death in 1449 DR.
