Ascertes

King Ascertes Hallow was the Icyene king of the "Hallowed Land", an ancient civilization located in what is now the swamplands of Morytania. Ascertes and his wife, Queen Efaritay, were said to have arrived in the then-wooded region from a distant land and established the region's capital city, Hallowvale. This was during the late Second Age.

Ascertes and his wife ruled for some 820 years, their race's lifespan far beyond that of humans. During this time, the Hallowed Land was said to have flourished, its many peaceful settlements existing as far north as the Northern Sea. However, during the God Wars, the vampyre Lord Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan attacked the Hallowed Land, managing to take King Ascertes captive. This forced Queen Efaritay to surrender unconditionally.

Ascertes and his wife are presumably deceased, executed or imprisoned until their deaths. However, a slim chance exists that they may still live today.

King Ascertes is the only known male icyene; besides the half-icyne, Safalaan Hallow.
