Personality: Wanhope is as prideful as any other Godking and like all Godkings, feels obligated to trump the glory of the last Godkings reign. He is cruel and sadistic with little regard for the sanctity of life. He does whatever it takes to meet his goals even if that meant sacrificing twenty percent of Khalidors population he would gladly do so. His eyes are constantly fixed on the Atlantics as he sees them as the key to returning Khalidor to its former glory.
Wanhope is constantly within the shadow of his father, who in turn was in the shadow of his before him. Wanhope has an overbearing determination to out prove both his father and his grandfather. He takes Roygarris as an example of how to gain his greatness. As such he is obsessed with mass expansion into the south.

What is a Godking?: The people of Khalidor worship the goddess Khali. The prayers that they use trickle magic to her. She then gives a portion of the magic to the Godking in a form called Vir , who then transfers the Vir to Meisters(those who use Vir) and can take away that Vir at will. Thus the Godking can create new mages who are dependent on him for their source of magic. That is why he rules, because he controls the mages. The more powerful Vir users are called Vurdmeisters.
-Vir, the magic given from Khali, can cause harm to the user if it is overused too much.
History: It all started with the first Godking, Roygarris, who founded and expanded the Empire so far out that it nearly collapsed. It took that man's successors reign to stabilize the nation. Wanhope and his father have been massively building up the military once again. That is where Wanhope comes into play.
Wanhope was born in Khaliras to an innkeeper's daughter and the Godking Garoth. He was raised by his mother in the city until he turned six and was taken to the citadel in Khalidor. There he learned the art of war and eventually politics. During his education the Great Famine occurred, starving the nation. Without foreign aid and a recent embargo from Labrador the country's population was decimated. Among the dead, Wanhope's mother was one of them, leaving him with a grudge against the nations of the south, especially Labrador. Blaming the country for worsening the already dire famine.
Wanhope gained the status as heir after taking the role as the lord over the Freeze and later the Baffin states. During his management of those regions he crushed three revolts and one rebellion. All of which he led the soldiers personally.
Wanhope become Godking by assassinating his siblings (all 140 of them) and his father as well. Thus he took claim of the empty throne at the age of fifteen. After that he quickly consolitated his rule and continued to build up the military as his father did. Only this time he began to involve Khalidor into the politics of the world.
Skills: Magic, swordplay, and strategy
Magic:
-School of Evocation: The evocation school of magic includes spells that manipulate energy or tap an unseen source of power in order to produce a desired end. In effect, they create something out of nothing. The spells that he uses involve fire, lightning, and using magical energy. The amount of magic used depends on the intensity of the spell.
-School of Restoration: Healing spells. The amount of magic used depends on the intensity of the spell.
-School of Conjuration: Sub school of teleportation: Teleport oneself or an object across great distance. Takes a massive amount of magic and can be lethal if used by oneself. Wanehope can only use it once per day but it would deplete all his magic for the day.
