Herias of Vas

Herias of Vas (670 - 721) was the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Vas and the head of the House of Vas. He followed on from his adoptive father, Freidrich von Eindfelt, who was the monarch of the semi-independent Vasian state inside the Reman Republic, and later the King of Cydarmus.
Herias was raised during the turmoil following the Vardano-Reman Religious Wars, and as such understood the need for peace and prosperity in the land. He worked closely with King Freidrich to stabilise their holdings and, after his father's passing, declared the new Kingdom of Vas.
Vas was a small, weak kingdom, and Herias was forced to pander to his larger neighbours for survival. However, no matter how low he was forced to go, Herias was loath to surrender the freedom of his lands. Upon Herias' death in 721, his own son Gerontian inherited a kingdom small, but dense and strong.
