Ferreilarios

Ferreilarios (c.470 - 513) was a Kafetro-Vadyan tribal warlord in the late 5th Century. He carved out one of the first large-scale tribal kingdoms in the area, and is credited for setting the traditional borders of the region of Ferreilia, which is named after him.
Ferreilarios first emerges from the murk of history shortly before the Battle of Vorgebirge. Records state that, hailing from the plains west of Eluneo, he conquered his way east and south taking advantage of the uncertainty and fear caused by the advancing Tungrids.
By the time of Vorgebirge, Ferreilarios controlled the towns of Eluneo, Neza, and Sirio. Following the battle he was somehow able to rally a large number of deserters to his cause and used sheer surprise to conquer the town of Safaburgh from the Kingdom of Talor.
As Ferreilarios' lands grew in size they became harder to maintain. In his advancing age Ferreilarios was forced to delegate administrative duties to several of his courtiers; not all of these were loyal. The lands became fractious and divided. 
In 513 the budding Astarcian Confederation took advantage of this and invaded while Ferreilarios was ill. The squabbling administrators of Ferreilarios' lands were swept aside and the warlord himself vanished from history with the sack of his capital Eluneo. It is unclear what fate he suffered.
