Crown Prince Soren of Arendaal (b. 1984) is the eldest child and only son of King Edvard V of Arendaal and Laura of Franken. He is the current Heir Apparent to the Crown of Arendaal, and as such is one of the most eligible bachelors in Europe. As the Aren Crown Prince, he also bears the title of Prince of Fjordholm (all Aren princes since Prince Lief in 1347 have been titled thus).

Soren enjoys great popularity, not least because he is a a stereo-typically "perfect" prince.
Six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders, he remains honest, good-natured, and honourable despite politics' best efforts. He rapidly and seemingly effortlessly comes to know everyone he meets by name. Although he himself does not realise it, his inherent "nobility" is such that people of all classes can't help wanting to behave well in his presence. All this make him almost impossible to dislike, a fact which greatly annoys his sister Princess Sophia.
Soren tends to be viewed as simple, which in a sense he is, but he is by no means stupid. In fact, he has a mind like a freight train, but finds it very difficult to deal with unexpected information, and generally ignores it until it goes away or becomes someone else's problem. He is in fact, probably just Europe's most "linear thinker". For instance, if he were conducting a murder investigation, he would interview Death. His father believes him to be both literal and practical almost to the point of insanity.
The Crown Prince has recently completed a year-long tour of duty serving in the Vangarian Guard in the Talemantine Empire, following a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages of Aren nobility serving as commanding officers in this elite force. Media speculation has since been rife that the Prince intends to marry, although he has made no official comment on the subject.
