Lord Aldarion (Aldarion Naertho Erjor; 16 June 1837 - 24 October 1915) was High King of Aranthia from 1891 until his abdication in 1912. Aldarion was the first Aranthian king during the Great War, succeeded by his brother, and was reportedly neutral on which side to support as the war went on.
In 1965, Aldarion married Princess Halueth Ianjeon, and together they had one child in 1866; Princess Hatharal. However, their daughter passed away about two months after her birth. Aldarion and Halueth's marriage was annulled later that year, in August 1866, reportedly as a result of the loss of the child and the pairs' difficult marriage.
Aldarion suffered with coronary heart disease from his mid-30s up until his death. In April 1912, Aldarion suffered two heart attacks in one day, causing him to abdicate the throne to make way for his younger brother, Caelthar. He died of another heart attack three years later, on 24 October 1915, aged 78.
