-'''Haldric I''' (also known as '''Haldric the Great''') was the founder and first monarch of [[Wesnoth]]. Having been born on the [[Green Isle]] to [[Eldaric IV|King Eldaric IV]], ruler of [[Stormvale]], he was forced to flee with his people when [[Lich-Lords]] built gateways between the [[Old Continent]] and the Green Isle, allowing orcs to invade. During their exodus south, Haldric was told of the Ruby of Fire, which he subsequently retrieved from within the [[Oldwood catacombs|catacombs]] beneath a temple. With the aid of [[Jessene|Lady Jessene]]'s translation, he was able to utilize the power of the Ruby of Fire a few months after reaching [[Southbay]]. Before Haldric managed to depart, however, he attracted the attention of the [[Jevyan|Lich-Lord Jevyan]], who desired the Ruby of Fire for himself. Eventually, he set sail with his men to the east.

 Upon landing at the [[Great Continent]], negotiating with the Council of Lords, and completing four dangerous quests, Haldric and his refugees were permitted to settle in the plains to the north of the Great River, and the plains and hills to the south thereof. The elves also established a 'Pact of Mutual Aid', but upon realizing that the orcs had followed Haldric to the Great Continent, they secretly agreed with each other to break the pact should the humans attract more foes.  Haldric hastened west to repel the orcs, meanwhile asking Jessene to hide the Ruby of Fire in the hopes of tricking Jevyan into believing he had traded it with the elves. [[Aethyr|Commander Aethyr]] agreed to plant a fake treaty on his body, stating as such. In a final confrontation, Aethyr was killed by Jevyan, according to plan, before Haldric's forces finally destroyed Jevyan, who managed to plant a curse upon Haldric and his people before dying.

 When Haldric emerged victorious from the temple catacombs, he was welcomed by Elilmaldur-Rithrandil, who expressed his happiness at Haldric's success. Before Haldric can decide on his next course of action, however, he is approached by the Wesfolk leader, who informed him that the orcs now occupied the plains between Oldwood Forest and Southbay. She had also scouted the road to Clearwater Port, which was free of orcs, due to the Swamp of Esten slowing their advances. Due to Haldric's reluctance to proceed with her help, she revealed her true identity, 'Lady Jessene', and how similar their circumstances were. Convinced by her words, Haldric decided to continue their march east towards Clearwater Port.<ref name="return to oldwood">{{Cite|return to oldwood}}</ref>
-Though the orcs continued their pursuit, Haldric eventually arived at Clearwater Port during the onset of winter, alarmed to discover that there were no ships docked at the shore.

Though orcs attacked on three fronts, Haldric successfully held out long enough to board a ship with his men and set sail, though Aethyr remained behind, intending to fight to the death. On the advice of Lady Jessene, Haldric set sail not for Southbay, but instead for [[Fallen Lich Point (peninsula)|Fallen Lich Point]] to claim the Book of Fire and Darkness, a study of the Ruby of Fire, then to navigate to Southbay through a nearby [[Southbay sewers|sewer]].<ref name="clearwater">{{Cite|clearwater}}</ref>

 Haldric emerged from the sewer and sought an audience with the King of Southbay, King Addroran IX. Upon hearing that Haldric would fight to defend Southbay, he praised both Haldric's honour, stating he would have made Eldaric proud. When Addroran saw Jessene, realizing she was one of the Wesfolk, he was initially hostile, but Haldric persuaded him that the Wesfolk had been of service. Jessene revealed that she knew the naval course to reach the [[Great Continent]], pleading with Addroran to take his people and go with Haldric, but Addroran refused to go himself, stating that it was for Haldric to establish the new country. They resolved to remain in Southbay for the winter to replenish their supplies.<ref name="southbay">{{Cite|southbay in winter}}</ref>
-In the months that passed, Jessene translated the Book of Fire and Darkness, allowing Haldric to experiment with the Ruby's powers, particularly to conjure fireballs against his foes.
