Biography
Family
Rullen Bellfore was born into the Bellfore family, one of the more influential families of the Mühn Prosperity. For generations, the Bellfores had maintained considerable influence over the administration of the Prosperity, particularly in matters concerning land stewardship, windsteads, and the management of the great works surrounding the Hyme. The family had retained stewardship of one of Mühn's tracts for generations; a rarity for a single family to hold such a position for so long. Although the family never formally held a hereditary office, its position within Mühn society was sufficiently established that members of the family were frequently expected to serve in positions of public importance.
Exile
Shortly before Rullen's birth, his parents voluntarily entered exile to settle a generational debt incurred by one of his ancestors. Though largely ceremonial by the time it came due, the debt carried considerable cultural significance, and families of the Bellfores' standing would ordinarily perpetually defer such obligations to the next generation. His parents' decision to settle it themselves was regarded as an extraordinary act of selflessness, freeing their soon to be born son from the family's past transgressions. They also saw exile as an opportunity to remove him from the expectations surrounding the Bellfore name, allowing them to shape him away from Mühn's political circles and cultivate the qualities they believed would make him a leader of exceptional consequence.
Childhood
When he was an infinant Rullen's relationship with Mühn was therefore unusual. He was simultaneously an outsider and, in the eyes of many, a native son who had yet to come home. His childhood was spent hearing of the Prosperity as both a lost homeland and an inheritance awaiting him.
Early Adulthood
Following the deaths of both of his parents, the Bellfore's exile formally came to an end. He returned to the Mühn Prosperity with little immediate political authority, but with a family name that remained considerably more powerful than his own circumstances suggested. His arrival marked the beginning of his attempt to reclaim the Bellfore legacy and establish himself within the society from which his family had been absent for most of his life.
