Thorvald, previously Thorvald of Montgarde, is the ruling monarch of the Kingdom of Evenhold, the successor to Karsten and the forty-third monarch of the realm. He acceded to the throne in 1180 YA and is seen by most of his subjects as a stern but fair ruler and a wise leader. The king resides and holds court at Bardshill Castle in the city of Evenhold with his wife the queen.
Following the long tradition of rulers adopting Anharic regnal names, Thorvald was formally crowned as Tanis IV, but since usage of regnal names is waning the king remains widely known among his subjects as Thorvald, with the name Tanis now reserved for official or ceremonial contexts.
