Wallingford rules the grand city state of Polywerp.

 

In the chaotic aftermath of the fall of Lord Alderich, Roland Wallingford, then a powerful noble, assumed leadership.  For the safety and security of his people, Wallingford suspended democracy and declared himself emperor.

 

He opposes slavery and has financed mercenaries and bounty hunters to wage war on slavers throughout the world.

 

His son, Lyric, is the heir to his throne.
