Early Life[]
Born in the hospital ward of the Königspalast in Vinisk, on May 3rd, 4299 he was the first son of King Regismund V/Kaiser Regismund II, a younger brother was born several years later on August 11th, 4310. He was christened on 11 May 4299, at St. Ordius Basilica, in Munchewald. He was named Ludwig after his distant relative Ludwig Xaver IV von Faust-Essen, King Ludwig IV, continuing the Dorvik royal tradition of the heir apparent being named after a relative. His middle names honor his paternal great-grandfather, grandfather, and his father, Regismund V (Dorvik). He became Crown Prince of Dorvik when he was born as his father was Dundorfischer Kaiser as Regismund II.
Ludwig's early life was spent largely in Dorvik, where he served in the Dorvish Navy and even as the reigning sovereign, retains a reserve rank of "Lieutenant of the Sea" (Dundorfian: Leutnant zur See). After his service in the Dorvish Navy, where he spent 6 years, his life largely became dedicated to the political concerns of his father and many within the struggling monarchist movements in Dundorf and Dorvik. He moved repeatedly, shifting back and forth between the two countries before settling permanently in Dorvik.
