Erzoured Obarskyr

Born from a secret liaison between a traveling merchant named Solatha Boldtree and Prince Emvar, Erzoured Obarskyr occupies an uncomfortable position within the Cormyrean court. Legitimized as the late Prince's son, he holds the title of Lord but not Prince, a constant reminder of his unorthodox beginnings. Raised alongside his cousin, the future King Foril, Erzoured harbors a deep-seated resentment towards House Obarskyr. Despite spells and rituals confirming his royal blood, he wasn't officially recognized as an heir until after Foril secured the throne, fueling his sense of exclusion. This resentment manifests in his adopted alias, "Baron Boldtree," an explicit dissociation from the royal family.

Erzoured's ambition for the throne burns brightly. He believes himself the rightful heir, a conviction bolstered by some nobles who saw him as a preferable alternative during the war with Sembia and Netheril. However, Queen Raedra, his niece, proved more politically astute, thwarting his initial attempts.  Though he harbors ambitions for the throne, he knows that any overt action against the crown would likely be discovered by the War Wizards and lead to his immediate execution.  Now, a cunning strategist, Erzoured navigates a precarious path. He serves with distinction in the Purple Dragons, overseeing strategic patrols in southeastern Cormyr. His wartime leadership earned him respect from both the military and the people.  While fiercely loyal to Cormyr, his ultimate goal remains the crown.  He uses his position on the Queen's war council to his advantage, carefully maneuvering within the system, searching for the perfect opportunity to elevate his own house, Boldtree, above Obarskyr.

"Loyalty is a fine shield, but ambition is a sharper sword. One defends a legacy, the other claims it. The throne may wear the sigil of a dragon, but the dragon's hunger stirs within these very walls." —Anonymous
