High King of [[Aluvia]]<ref name=Zogblaster>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Zogblaster Archive/Heritage Groups/Aluvian]]</ref>, named after the Aluvian scholar [[Pwyll]]. Of Viamontian descent, he succeeded his father [[Osric]] the Wise as ruler of [[Aluvia]]. <ref name=ReignAlfreda>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Reign of Alfrega]]</ref>

By the time of the rule of Pwyll III, the peoples of Aluvia had united as one, prospering under the High King's kind and just reign. Pwyll III banded together the kingdom's knights, forming an order of honor and chivalry, and so began a golden age.<ref name=Zogblaster>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Zogblaster Archive/Heritage Groups/Aluvian]]</ref>

He formulated [[The Code of Pwyll]]<ref>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Code of Pwyll]] </ref><ref>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[The Full Code of Pwyll]]</ref>, which was the base of other philosophical works.<ref>2001/02 [[Lonely In The World]] - [[Denouement]]</ref> By this code, the notion of nobility was introduced to the ruling class. In his time and since, the Code of Pwyll has dictated the conduct of both lords and knights: the common folk of Aluvia have come to expect no less. <ref name=Zogblaster>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Zogblaster Archive/Heritage Groups/Aluvian]]</ref>

This code is followed by many Aluvians in Dereth, though others strongly object to this strict code.<ref name=TheHistoryOfKryst>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[The History of Kryst]]</ref><ref name=TheHistoryOfVesayenIsles>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[The History of Vesayen Isles]]</ref><ref>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[MacNiall the Unruled#Lore & Dialog]]</ref>

Pwyll III founded the Order of the [[Knights of the Golden Flame]] to protect [[Aluvia]], as well as to spread Justice, Nobility and Honor among the populace of his Kingdom.<ref>2006/11 [[Remembering the Past]] - [[The Helm of the Golden Flame]] (description)</ref>

The [[Scholars of Pwyll]], a group of sages and artists are dedicated to continuing the traditions of scholarly research and artistic exploration begun by High King Pwyll. <ref name = ZogFaction>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Zogblaster Archive/Heritage Groups/Aluvian/Aluvian Factions]]</ref>

When he was slain by a treacherous ambassador from Viamont on the eve of war between the two nations, Aluvia's knights and commoners alike fell upon their enemies and destroyed them. With Pwyll's death, Aluvia's glory began to wane, but it is said that, when the kingdom is at its greatest need, he and his knights will walk the land once more.<ref>[[AC:DM CD Lore/Ispar Texts/Sho Heritage/The Glorious Reign of Empress Kou-an]]</ref><ref name=Zogblaster>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Zogblaster Archive/Heritage Groups/Aluvian]]</ref><ref>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Daiklos Legend]]</ref>

The town of [[Kryst]] was founded centered around the principles of [[Jojii]] and the Code of Pwyll by [[Zenzaburou Hensu]], [[Vanten the Archmage]], and [[Vesayen Hylin]].<ref>2010/06 [[Shifting Gears]] - [[Kryst (Town Network Sign)]]</ref><ref name=TheHistoryOfKryst>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[The History of Kryst]]</ref><ref name=TheHistoryOfVesayenIsles>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[The History of Vesayen Isles]]</ref>
