King Doric dies; his line guards the Bloodstones

The Historical Monument of King's Watch, written on the 95th day of 1 AE, mentions King Doric's death, placing it at some point between the start of the Exodus and the founding of King's Watch. The exact circumstances remain unclear; the monument's wording — "to forego even one's own life when the end is gained" and "it is through his sacrifice that we now live on" — implies he may have died when the Bloodstones were sealed with his blood.

Doric was the first king of the united human kingdoms, and all later Tyrian royalty, including the line of Kryta, descend from him. The duty the gods laid upon him — guarding the five Bloodstones — passed to his dynasty after his death.
