Fair (Elfwine)

"He was a fair king in his own right"

From his birth through to his death, he never saw the horrors of war veterans had described to him in his youth, nor those depicted in writing and song by the elves that visited, often on their last journey before leaving. Perhaps that was why he was not afraid to listen to anyone that requested his ear. The peace that accompanied his reign never gave him the chance to prove himself in conflict – to prove that he had the charisma to be followed into carnage and almost certain death – but nonetheless he was a fair king in his own right.

Exactly 100 words. Thanks to DarylDixon'sgirl1985 for this one! More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Fair, Elfwine, "He was a fair king in his own right"). No OCs please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.

Thanks for reading!
