King Eldrich Parson
The final king of AvLee. Eldrich Parson perished in The Reckoning while leading the armies of AvLee against Kilgor.
Story
During the events of Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor, he quarreled with Catherine over whether AvLee or Erathia should control the Contested Lands. Their appointed arbiter, Judge Fairweather, managed to prevent the situation from escalating into an all-out war.
A few years later, worried by the growing threat posed by Mutare Drake, the Elf King sent one of his own captains to find the Vial of Dragon Blood. The captain went missing and was presumed dead, so the king began to wage a wider war against the Dragon Queen. One of his generals in this war was Tarnum (Ranger) (as seen in the Clash of Dragons).
When the Ancestors compel Tarnum to stop Gelu from aeeking the Sword of Frost, he initially asks King Eldrich Parson for his aid. When Parson refuses, Tarnum is forced to become Tarnum (Overlord) to attempt to stop Gelu from retrieving the Sword.
