Eumes Cliasma

Eumes Cliasma is a Duscadorian politician and naval commander best known for participating in the Battle of Cartesium during the Second Duscadorian-Sevician War, where he held command of the right flank of the combined Duscadorian navy. He is also known for being the son-in-law of the former Presidian of Duscador, Harubal Sisa.
== Background and life ==
Born in the Duscadorian coastal city of Tyno to wealthy noble parents, Cliasma took an interest in both swimming and fishing from an early age. When he was twelve, his family moved inland, to the Duscadorian capital of Manalpa. There he met a number of figures who would guide him in his career to becoming a naval officer. In 688, at the age of 21, he met the Arina Sisa, the eldest daughter of the (at-the-time) reigning Presidian of Duscador, Harubal Sisa, with whom he became enamoured.
A year later, Cliasma moved north to the city of Kalaro on the banks of Lake Decipri to continue his naval training. Known to be a bright and eager candidate, he rapidly rose through the ranks, earning himself captaincy of a fleet of a dozen ships by the time he was 23. That same year, 690 A.S, he married Arina Sisa, who was nineteen at the time. When the second war against Sevicia broke out the following year, Cliasma was moved to the eastern coast of Duscador to serve as a commander in the Duscadorian fleet. Disorganisation and neglect among the Duscadorian high command meant that, lacking suitable admirals outside of the aging veteran Arzhelico, Duscador had few options to lead its navies. Cliasma was selected alongside fellow commander Corbal Hannoco to help lead the combined fleet under Arzhelico.
At the Battle of Cartesium in 694, in which Cliasma commanded the right flank of a vast fleet of ships, Duscador suffered its most embarrassing defeat in decades. Corbal Hannoco was killed in combat and the Duscadorian navy was utterly routed. After the war ended, Cliasma returned to Kalaro in the west, where he settled with his wife Arina. He was awarded the Rose of Duscador, the fourth-highest military honour in Duscadorian society, for his services to the navy. In 703, after fifteen years of service, he was awarded the Blue Star of Duscador, its third-highest military honour. He remains a captain of ships and instructor of recruits in Kalaro to the present day.
