King Bellacek

King Bellacek was born to King Cravus and Queen Aurel in the year 129. He obtained control of the Kingdom in the year 161. King Bellacek is well known for strengthening the military/police force that his father established.

Bellacek established Threshings, the Military Academy from which Captain Cardiff would later graduate.

He imposed stricter regulations on the church, creating rifts within the populace. While some citizens preferred the newer, safer city, other feared that the newly gifted strength to the military/police would incite more violence and displays of power by the Capitol.

A sizable group of the citizenry moved out of the Capitol to the neighboring hills, called the Balkies to practice sustenance farming. This population remained relatively uneducated and disassociated with the Capitol. A number of religious leaders also practiced mysticism in the deserts during this time, preferring the solitude of the wilderness to the increasing control within the city. Father Timon would become one of the most famous desert mystics to live in the reign of Bellacek.
