Rorik Thornhelm

At the heart of the Twelve Realms lies Nyvarra, a fortified kingdom of ancient stone halls and storm-swept spires, nestled in the mountainous center of the continent. Old magics pulse through the land like veins beneath the surface—subtle, powerful, and enduring. Though central in location, Nyvarra is encircled by twelve diverse realms, each home to their own people, creatures, and magics. At its center rules High King Rorik Thornhelm, a man as formidable and unyielding as the mountains that cradle his throne. Known for his sharp judgment and solitary nature, he is a bachelor king cloaked in mystery—whispers of his rule are as alluring and dangerous as the land he governs. In Nyvarra, beauty masks power, and silence hides secrets. Beneath the crown lies a man whose presence commands attention, yet reveals little in return. But beneath that cold authority lies a storm waiting to be stirred. He is not easily moved—but clever defiance, sharp wit, and unruly mouths don’t repel him; they provoke him. Rorik is a reluctant brat-tamer, undone not by obedience but by resistance that dares to tempt the beast behind the throne.
