Gilbert Bligh

Gilbert Bligh, known as "King Gilbert the Kind," was the sixth king and eighth ruler of the Whitefen. Despite the peaceful moniker he was given, King Gilbert was a capable warrior, and kept the Whitefen intact for eleven years. He was fond of polls, liking to know how many people were in his kingdom, and liking to know how his people fared. He was a popular monarch, and was held in high esteem by nearly all who knew him. Upon his death, his respect was such that the convoys of the exodus were halted long enough for a pyre to be built and his body burned. The funeral rites were attended by thousands of his people, as well as the High King Genserik.
