Artur Hawkwing
Artur Paendrag Tanreall, called Artur Hawkwing, is the High King of history and legend who united every land of the Westlands under one banner a thousand years before.
Artur Hawkwing, born Artur Paendrag Tanreall, prince of the small kingdom of Shandalle, rose through decades of war to do what no ruler since the Trolloc Wars had done: unite every nation of the Westlands under one throne as High King. Legend remembers low taxes, even-handed justice, and roads safe from bandits, and remembers too his hatred of Aes Sedai, which set his armies around Tar Valon in a siege that lasted twenty years. At the height of his power he sent his son Luthair with a great fleet across the Aryth Ocean, and no word of it ever came back. Hawkwing died in FY 994, his heirs died or vanished in the struggles that followed, and the War of the Hundred Years pulled his empire apart into the nations. His sign was a golden hawk in flight.
