King Adelbern was the last monarch of Ascalon, remembered for pride, tragedy, and the devastating magic of the Foefire. His rule saw the fall of Ascalon after the Searing, the death of Prince Rurik, and the Charr invasion that brought his kingdom to ruin.

In this Lantern & Lore episode, we explore Adelbern’s rise to power, his struggles during the Charr wars, the heartbreaking loss of Rurik, and the moment he unleashed the Foefire — a spell that cursed his people for eternity.

Was Adelbern a tragic hero defending his homeland, or a tyrant who doomed his people? Let’s uncover the truth behind one of Guild Wars’ most infamous rulers.
