A mythic sovereign was a monarch who was destined for true greatness. Their exemplary deeds and heroic feats were often the stuff of legends, shared for centuries after their reign.[1]
Culture[]
These individuals could arise from any kingdom or realm across Faerûn.[1] They came to power by birth, fame and sometimes even by force.[2] Champions of justice and tyrannical despots were both equally capable of earning the designation of mythic sovereign.[3]
Abilities[]
Mythic sovereigns were capable of heroic feats of inspiration to their subjects in battle, granting them a sense of ardent fervor.[3]
If they were felled in combat, some of their ranks could entirely disregard their wounds and stand their ground.[3]
