History
Vark Hersvin was born in the newly established New Anbar. His first job was on the docks at 16, where he soon rose through the ranks and became an overseer.

He then joined the court of New Anbar as a low ranking town planner, rising through the ranks there through a unique ability to facilitate collaboration between many teams and departments.

Eventually, he joined the council of the King, rising to the position of King's Hand. When the King died, he was appointed Regent.

Exile of the Prince of Anbar
At his deathbed, King Anbar revealed to Vark that the Prince was not actually his son, and was half Drow.

Vark kept this information to himself. He raised Prince Kryn as the heir, and even loved him like a son. But as the boy grew older he realised that, with his heritage and his increasing arrogance and temper, he could never be King. He could no kill the boy, but instead exiled him secretly with the co-operation of a Red Throat leader.
