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>

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>
