Darion II Caedmon, known as Darion the Restorer and Darion the Just, is the twenty-second and current reigning king of the Kingdom of Lumera. He is the seventh monarch of House Caedmon, though is the first of the Caedmon Restoration.
Darion was born the only son and child of Harlan II and Queen Lyre. During the waning hours of the War of the Usurper, the young prince Darion escaped certain death as the usurper Kael Voss murdered his parents. He spent the rest of his childhood and early adulthood in secret exile in Silverglade, living a false identity as a squire of Lord Protector Cassius Verdwyn. At the age of twenty-four, Darion revealed his identity to the rest of the kingdom, and led a successful rebellion against the usurper king, slaying him in Battle of Medine and deposing his infant son.
Upon retaking the throne, Darion pardoned the lords who rose in defense of the usurper, and has worked to regaining the stability of the realm, which was left damaged by Kael I's oppressive reign. In 500, he organized the Great Council of 500, which introduced a wide array of reforms to the Lumera Codex. Along with that, Darion restored amicable relations with both the Outer Realms, the collective term of the distant kingdoms of the west and south, and with the Luminescent Church.
