Avut

"“The problem is not simply his death, your grace,” Hilrek said tentatively. “It is that he did not have any children. I’m sure you’re aware of that. It was a controversy for decades.”" - To Join the Gods

Avut was the penultimate monarch of the Ancient Kingdom of Iljara. Often referred to as the Bachelor King, he was known for his unconventional decision to never sire any offspring, thus allowing his advisor Belistaine to take power after his death. In this aspect, Avut was indirectly responsible for the events of the Godstone War and the Ascension.

Aside from his childlessness, Avut was also known for leading a relatively long life, dying of natural causes at the age of 97.
