Historian's Notes

This is a collection of short biographies of some of the most notable figures in the history of the Kingdom of Wesnoth, and the Irdyan world, as a whole. The article is arranged by historical epoch, and the biographies within each epoch are listed in alphabetical order, using the name by which the person was most commonly referred to in the historical records. Dates are consistent with the system of chronology used in the Wesnoth History section. The appearance of a triple question mark (???) indicates that the information needs to be verified.

See also Character's storys, for brief descriptions of a wider range of the inhabitants of Wesnoth and the rest of Irdya.

"Identity curses men from birth. Konrad, forgive me for that which I shoulder you with. I pray you wear it as a badge on your heart, not a stone around your neck." - Delfador, at the coronation of Konrad

Would Parandra not have been so prudent and benevolent, the boy who grew into Konrad, King of Wesnoth would not be sung in the minstrels tunes. Konrad never knew his real parents. His real parents abandoned him in a copse a few strides off of an Elvish trade route. Parandra, knowing the human child's parents had distanced themselves by miles at this point (as evidenced by certain smells emanating from the child's swaddling garments) pushed aside all hope. She picked up the child and took him in as her own.

Delfador arrived sometime after with the grim evidence of his failed rescue of Prince Konrad. Parandra and Delfador discussed at length the appearance of the nameless orphan boy. Both of them bared their worries that this plan, this trick wouldn't work were the boy old enough to reason on their own. Staring down at the orphan in his new crib, touched by his liveliness and cheer, they agreed give him a chance to be the heir to the throne of Wesnoth.

And on this day, the unknown orphan left for dead received a second chance in life as fugitive Prince Konrad.

Delfador raised Konrad as his son yet never pretended to be his father. Konrad grew up knowing only the life Delfador wove for him. Delfador trained him as a warrior and leader. Each new lesson gave way to another for the precocious student.

During his seventeenth year with Delfador, Konrad and his mentor fled the land of the elves during an attack led by Asheviere.

Konrad's life during these times is chronicled in the Heir to the Throne campaign.
