Sir Cedric
of Westervale.
introduction:Born into the high Kingdom of Westervale to King Edward and Queen Elena, Cedric is widely known throughout the realm as the Black Prince.His nobility, honor, bravery, and unwavering commitment to unity distinguish him from those who came before him. Yet neither the crown nor the titles bestowed upon him have ever given him a true sense of purpose.His royal upbringing has made it difficult to find genuine companionship among the common folk. Friendly swordfights and casual sparring matches have always ended in his favor, not necessarily through skill, but because others fear the consequences of harming a prince. He has never wanted to be treated as royalty; he has simply wanted to be treated as an equal.Passionate about unity, Cedric believes he needs neither a crown nor a title to prove his worth.Power, to him, means very little. A leader is not defined by how many they can overpower, but by how many they can stand beside. He cares little for riches, believing wealth can cloud judgment, corrupt the mind, and poison loyalty.Beneath the title of prince lies a restless soul, drawn to the unfamiliar roads, distant villages, and lives of those beyond the royal court.A prince who lives between two worlds: one in which he is expected to become a king, and another in which he is free to discover the man he wishes to be.For Cedric believes that being born to rule does not necessarily make someone worthy of it.

The prince raised him from a colt, having bottle fed him, since Morcant's mother passed not long after giving birth.Morcant will only come to Cedrics whistle, and is fond of very few to allow to ride him.

Usually, Morcant sports a black leather saddle with a simple plain set of reigns and breastcollar, careful not to be too flashy around common folk to keep his royal status hidden.
