Draeg'ar II & X is the ruling King of South Valora. Born in 1707 AN, he was the only surviving legitimate son of the then-reigning Emperor of Valora, Draeg'ar I & IX. The heir to a diminished state coming of age only in its total defeat at the hands of its nemesis, Draegar II & X's reign began ignominiously in 1720 AN at the age of 13, under a regency.
While he was officially crowned in 1725 AN on his 18th birthday, he remained under a regency as he continued his education, per ancient traditions in the greatly extended House of Ral. He is expected to formally assume the throne by 1732 AN, his 25th birthday.
Biography
Early Life
Born in his father's very old age, he was the nominal solution to a state in deep crisis. This status as a wealthy prince didn't last long, however. Valora fell in 1715 AN in a near-total loss to the Imperial Federation during the so-called Conquest of Valora, the government that had ousted Draeg'ar IX after the Ralgon War of Succession.
At 8 years old, the child Draeg'ar II & X was this the prince of a rump state, bereft of even carrying the pretense of a defeated empire. The aftermath of these events saw the cession of the far southern frontiers of Valora into the Mondosphere in the wake of these events. In the aftermath, his father Draegar Ral IX abdicated the throne as King of South Valora in 1720 AN in a bid to retain his household's place on the throne, passing on a remnant of the prestige that had diminished near-totally from its glory days.
Regency
The young prince, only 13 years of age, was then placed under a under a regency led by his mother. While he was officially crowned in 1725 AN on his 18th birthday, he remained under a regency as he continued his education, per ancient traditions in the greatly extended House of Ral. Unlike many other princes of the realm, he stayed in the Mondosphere, choosing to remain in friendly territory to familiarize himself with the political environment he inherited from the last days of his father's reign.
He is expected to formally assume the throne by 1732 AN, his 25th birthday.
Legal Status as King
Draegar II & X holds two titles. He is the second King of South Valora, and the tenth Imperial Prince of the House of Ral named Draeg'ar in his line. While he is officially known as Draeg'ar II on official documents, his personal name is still Draeg'ar Ral X, and his Imperial Prince of Ralgon title is still legally recognized within the Imperial Federation, even if his rights to succession there are not. As he is internationally recognized as possessing both titles, he is styled Draeg'ar II & X of South Valora.
Within South Valora
Per official documents in both the Imperial Federation and the Mondosphere, he reigns over South Valora as Draeg'ar II, as he was simply the second person named Draeg'ar on the throne. Traditionally, he would either change his name on assuming the throne (as in the case of Nobunag'an IV of Ralgon, or assume his own name and numerals in both formats. He chose the latter, wishing to assume the throne with his own name and use his (now-obsolete) imperial title in a bid to retain prestige to use within the still-shattered government of the region.
Within the Imperial Federation
Despite the loss of imperial rank after 1715 AN when Valora lost its independence, he still retains his imperial princely rank per treaty, as will all his descendants who take the throne in South Valora. While the title of "Imperial Prince of Ralgon" no longer grants him and his line any rights within the Imperial Federation (basing its line off Masamune II's descendants), he is still Imperial Prince by virtue of his father's brief tenure on the throne before his ouster from Ralgon in 1705 AN in favor of Anarion. Being the tenth Imperial Prince in his family lineage to bear the personal name of Draeg'ar, he was thus styled as Prince Draeg'ar Ral X until his coronation as King of Valora, upon which he shed his ceremonial princely title for a recognized royal one, still retaining the additional numeral in his royal name.
