Morric Cnihyll

Morric Cnihyll is one of the co-founders of Falen and a Knight of Ethrogia from 709 to 712.

Biography
Morric is 12 years old when he is sent to Mt. Selene to apply for a position as a servant in the castle. He is accepted to become the young Prince Iubitar's valet, and he and Iubitar take a liking to each other immediately.

At age 21, following the War of the Dragons, Morric challenges Diatheon Reille for knighthood so that he might better protect and serve Iubitar. He loses the duel, but all Twelve Knights of Ethrogia except for Iubitar approve his knighthood. Although he is technically of noble rank thereafter, he continues to serve Iubitar out of habit.

Morric becomes a Knight of Ethrogia in 709 at age 24. Two years later, he raises arms with Iubitar against Queen Iacho Jemeisele. He is second-ranking in Iubitar's army, which is defeated by the remaining Knights. Iubitar is mortally wounded in battle, and Morric interrogates the Knight Mariemet about the location of the Garden of Saelig, where she grew up, so that he might retrieve its golden apples to save Iubitar's life. Mariemet refuses to reveal that information and asserts that Morric is not the type of man who would kill her for it. Dejected but unable to kill his old colleague, Morric sets off for Lukyria Forest and manages to find the faeries by chance. He persuades them to give him a small piece of a golden apple, which he uses to heal Iubitar.

Morric becomes co-chancellor of the new nation of Falen, alongside Iubitar and Sulil Amartima.

Some years later, Iubitar, under the fraying influence of the aspect Estarte, attacks both Morric and Sulil before he is arrested, leaving Morric with a scar across his neck. Morric reassembles the shambled Falen government before retiring with family to Amiyna, where he dedicates his life to researching safe extraction of aspects.

Over a decade later, Morric extracts Estarte from Iubitar but kills Iubitar in the process.
