Before he was king, Alteon was known as "Sir Alteon", a knight ready for anything. At those times, a corrupted tyrant named Slugwrath (Slugwrath can be found in MechQuest, but he is named many times in DragonFable) formerly ruled the land back then. Most people where not happy with him as their ruler. In secret, Alteon planned to raise an army to fight Slugwrath and overthrow the tyrant. And after many years of war, Alteon managed at last to defeat Slugwrath. The citizens of Lore decided they wanted Alteon as their new king. Alteon was happy as a normal peasant, but the people wanted HIM and HIM alone as their king, so he accepted and was crowned king of lore.
