Youssef al Din

Youssef al Din was a king of Taneth in the 5th Era.

Background
Youssef was born as the nephew of the king of Taneth, who had two heirs, and thus had no path to the throne. When he was an infant, however, his uncle and cousins were killed by Daea Morgan, who then decided the throne would pass to Youssef. Until he was old enough to rule, she placed Governor Nerva as the regent. Nerva was to safeguard the throne until Youssef was ready. Nerva had no interest in seeing to Youssef's well-fare. The infant was dumped into the care of the Hall of the Virtues of War. It was there Youssef was raised, taught in the art of sword strokes and the military tactics of Frandar Hunding.

The masters at the Hall of Virtues taught Youssef the history of his family, and what had been done to them by Daea Morgan and Governor Nerva. He quietly swore vengence, promising to pay both of them back. Daea Morgan died in 5E 434, but Youssef's anger towards Nerva was yet to be quenched.

When Youssef was seventeen he was in Taneth for the Hour of the Fourteenth World.
