Eamond of Evermore was the Breton ruler of Bangkorai in the late fifth century of the Second Era. His father, Duke Blaise Guimard, was a hero of the war against Durcorach the Black Drake, and was elevated to the throne after King Heseph died without issue during the siege of Evermore in 2E 542.[1] After Blaise allied with King Emeric during Ranser's War, Eamond was wed to Arzhela, a cousin of Emeric. In 568, Eamond ascended to the throne after his father's death. During his reign, he and Arzhela had two children, Prince Adrien and Princess Elara.[1]
In 2E 582, Evermore faced dual invasions from the Imperial Seventh Legion, lead by the Magus-General Septima Tharn in the south [2] and the Dark Witnesses Reach clan from the north. There are conflicting accounts of Eamond's actions during this time; one source states that Eamond gathered his troops at Bangkorai Garrison and mounted a defense against the Seventh Legion.[2] Another source claims that Eamond rode out with his forces to fight the Reachmen at Northglen and ultimately perishing in the fight, along with his son.[3] As was tradition for the Kings of Evermore, Eamond's body was interred at Bangkorai Garrison.[4]
After his death, his brother Duke Renchant was appointed regent when Queen Arzhela stepped down to allow him to lead the city's defense against the Reachman invasion.[5] During this time, while Eamond was remembered fondly, the rest of the royal family were slandered in what was likely Imperial propaganda.[6] However, the Duke was removed from power after his plot to surrender the city to the Imperial forces was revealed, whereupon Arzhela assumed the responsibilities of leadership.
