Ly'menton

== Overview ==
King Ly'menton was the King of C'thardjia from 104 BG to 66 BG. Menton was married to Ly'matti and had two sons and a daughter with her. During Mazu's Conquest of C'thardjia, Menton gained legendary status as he smuggled food and aid to the people of Vivita, all the while remaining in hiding at Ella'lacio. In the aftermath, Di'jandor proclaimed him King with support found across C'thardjia. Menton's rule was long and prosperous, notable for bringing an end to the disputes across the Tress Peninsula and for negotiating with Ch'clan over the land in the C'thardji Strip.
== Biography ==
In 113 BG, Menton, then the Regior of Arlli'forro, and his family were driven from their home by Mazu. They found refuge at Ella'lacio with Regior Di'jandor where they could evade Mazu's forces. Despite their need to stay hidden, Menton was determined to help his people and travelled to and from the town of Vivta, smuggling food and proving aid to his people. In this time, many nobles believed Menton to be dead and that his good deeds were mere legend.
Following his betrayal by Yu'zeban and the Massacre at Pient Palace, Mazu had lost his power and everyone he loved. With no where else to turn he made for Vivita, seeking Menton, unsure if he even still existed. As he had hoped, Menton found Mazu, and put aside his distain for the former King to find him refuge.
Not long after taking in Mazu, a rebellion had formed and was heading to Pient Palace to depose Zeban. Mazu wished to face Zeban one last time and travelled to Pient with Menton and Jandor. Reaching the shore, the trio were met by Zeban, fleeing the siege on Pient Palace. Menton and Jandor left the two friends turned enemies to duel as they made for the castle.
In the aftermath of the conflict, Menton and Jandor returned to the beaches and discovered Mazu and Yu'zeban had both perished. With no leader to turn to, Jandor proclaimed Ly'menton King, citing his legendary status among the people. The legend of Menton's heroics had spread across the kingdom and the common people were pleased to welcome their new King, satisfying the surviving nobles. 
During Menton's rule, he and Jandor worked closely to end the disputes across the Tress Peninsula, resulting in the King awarding Jandor with the position of Protector of the Peninsula.
In 80 BG, Ch'clan, a small but powerful clan in the north sought more control over the Northern C'thardji Strip. Menton negotiated with patriarch, Ch'temyn, and granted the clan control over the exporting of the land's resources.
Menton died at the age of 77, four years after Matti, passing peacefully in his sleep. He had recently been made a great grandfather, and was surrounded by his growing family in his final days. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Valli.
