Across both eras · Known record
He gave Sunspire a perfect century. History remembers the invoice.
The known record
Maltraxis is, at first glance, an entirely ordinary man. Nothing in his face, build, or bearing marks him as a legend. That is precisely what makes his reign so unsettling: five years into it, this unremarkable young king rules a land without famine, unrest, or visible misfortune while every road in the allied nations bends toward his throne. There was nothing exceptional about Maltraxis until he made the bargain. Everything exceptional came afterward.
