Nathan Livendare

Nathaniel Jonah Livendare was a 24th century Casorian born playwright famed for writing masterpiece after masterpiece. Renowned as the 'father of modern Casorian, his works inspired a burst of theatrical, poetic and artistic action. Several guilds were founded, most notably the Actors Guild and the Poet's Society, both with Nathan as patron.
Although massively successful the playwright had a rather tragic life. Losing his first wife and two children in a house fire, he became a drunkard, although during this period he wrote most of his best works, albeit sloppily. When he finally saw success and found love once more it was with a slave, Albya,many were disgusted at the notion and saw the slave as a corrupting influence on the playwright who by this stage was famous beyond belief. In the dead of night they murdered the slavegirl, sending Nathaniel into deep depression.
Once more however this subsided and Nathaniel in 2408 on his 43rd birthday wrote a letter to what would be the final Rakores Emperor demanding that he outlaw the barbarism of the western slave trade, that all men and women under the Emperor were equal and should serve no man. To dictate to an Emperor was a death sentence but days before the letter reached him, the Emperor perished, along with his dynasty. As if a miracle the Lonaerah Dynasty assumed the Imperial throne, noted abolishionists the new Emperor lept at the chance to use the playwrights fame to spearhead the anti-slave trade initiative. Within two years the trade was abolished, however Nathan passed away days before the law was ratified. Like the Rakores Emperor before him, he did not live to see his ambitions fufilled.
His most famous works, known as 'The Five' are called the finest pieces of Casorian literature put to paper:
*The Lovers Entwined. - Tragedy
*The Emperor's Grace. - Comedy
*Two Birds upon the Branch. - Love Story
*The Injustice - Anti-Slave Trade Comedy
*The Emerald Alexander - Epic
