Biography

Solinus is the oldest of the seven children, spawned by the fruitful marriage of Lady Fayme Lenouvi and his father, the late Duke Laszlo, and so he was brought up as the future heir to the Duchy of Granville, getting the best tutors in economy, trade, politics and diplomacy.

In the year 662 he was married to Lady Ortensia Fennim, a lass of seventeen summers that soon got pregnant with his first child. There he has failed though so far, as both the children he has had with Ortensia are not the male heirs the Duchy is in need of. Still, Solinus has always been a caring father to his two girls, spending more time with them than other men of his position would have done.

Additionally he kept close to his father the Duke and got adequately acquainted with the current problems of the Duchy. During the three years of the famine, he offered some unique ideas on how to deal with the problem, even encouraging to reestablish trade with the Kingdom of Estoria through the lands of Woriscant. The peasants' revolt in 673 proved to be a greater challenge however, and it was Solinus who advised his father to have his troops quash the rebellion swiftly enough to prevent any greater harm to the Duchy.

When Duke Laszlo died a few weeks before the first signs of the plague appeared, Solinus had quite a grave challenge to start to his rule, yet his being involved with the previous dealings with the peasants' revolt proved to be helpful at least. Despite his efforts to have those who had already got smitten with the desease quarantined, he could not prevent the Duchy of Granville from experiencing the gravest losses in its population since it had been founded many hundred years ago.

The plague claimed the lives of three siblings and his younger daughter Enora as well, which left Solinus so devastated he reportedly did not leave his chambers for a whole week. But it is said that his wife and his surviving daughter Rishone paid him a visit then, after which he reappeared to take up is daily duties again. Even today he still wears the black of mourning as Enora's death happened only four months ago.
