Konrad Perickard

Konrad is a noble man of the Perickard family who has retired himself in the city of Muede. Konrad was the last leader of the Peasant Revolt during the Edelmaa Great War and the last leader of the Borians in the Borian War. In both cases, Konrad ended the wars.
== During the Edelmaa Great War ==
=== Becoming leader ===
During the Edelmaa Great War, Konrad's oldest brother Octavio was thought to be dead after the Battle of Dives, however, it was later found out that Octavio had survived, but allied himself with the Royalists after the Marquesses's peace. Konrad did not like this and requested to be made a military commander by his brother and the new Revolt leader; Abe Perickard. Abe declined and ordered Konrad to remain in Olav Castle.
9th of April 171, during Konrad's stay at the city of Silverion, Abe Perickard died during the Battle of Meta-Gudur. This made Konrad the first-in-line to succeed the rebellion. At first he was enthusiastic of becoming the Rebel leader, however, he immediately faced a difficult situation. From the east, the forces of Jiri Baathúr were closing in and from the south King Samuel Berghof's army was closing in. Not only was he pinched, he was pinched by two of the strongest armies in Edelmaa at the time. He requested to bargain with both commanders which they agreed upon.
=== Battle of Muede ===
Konrad raised his army of Silverion and began marching to Meta-Gudur. Konrad was stopped by a Royalist militia led by Artorias Varjangaria and Sexton Scale. A battle commenced with Konrad losing miserably, even though he commanded an army of regulars compared to the irregulars of Artorias. Konrad was subsequently captured by Artorias.
=== Negotiations ===
Konrad invited Artorias Varjangaria and Sexton Scale to the conference of Jiri Baathúr and Samuel Berghof held at the city of Meta-Gudur. Artorias and Sexton however refused to negotiate at Meta-Gudur, and instead wanted to negotiate at Kerry's farm. Everyone was fine with this change, and soon all parties met at Kerry's Farm. Everyone was informed by Jiri Baathúr, that Jamur Emetur, Jiri's brother, had invaded Graille which threatened all the factions of the war. All factions decided to form the Great Coalition and united against Jamur.
Jiri Baathúr wanted to annex the city Meta-Gudur, as did Konrad, so the two of them decided to gamble for the city. He played dice with Jiri, a game which Jiri won and Konrad was left with nothing. His brother Octavio was granted the barony and independence for Olav and Octavio decided to invite Konrad to return as his vassal, which Konrad agreed to. After the Treaty of Kerry's Farm, Konrad participated in the Great Battle of Ravaged manor field however, he didn't actively participate in the battle.
== Post-War ==
=== Perivarian Alliance ===
Konrad didn't support the Perivarian Alliance, for he thought it would provoke Jiri if he should ever find out. After the formation of Boria, Konrad was made a Duke. Konrad was very much against all this and didn't actively participate in any dealings of Boria. He also persuaded Octavio, his older brother and King of Olav, from participating in too many dealings of Boria and to leave everything to Octavio's son Charles Perickard.
=== Borian War ===
Konrad did not do anything during the Borian War. He was saddened by the fact that his sons Shankar and Kanrid became soldiers in the Borian Army. He was very scared, that his sons would die. In 294 when King Jiri began to push the Borian Army back, Konrad advocated for peace even suggesting unconditional surrender, for he hoped that his sons would be spared. The worst news to Konrad arrived in August 294 after the disastrous Battle of Eion Valley. His son, Shankar had perished in the battle. Konrad was very upset, however, due to Octavio's health and the deaths of 5 Perickard family members in the Battle, Konrad was made the de facto leader of the Perivarian Alliance. But the information of this to Konrad was delayed due to hawkist military commanders who still wanted to fight. In September Konrad was finally informed of his leadership and he ordered a ceasefire. The forces of the Borian Army began to surrendering en masse and soon the war was over.
Many Borian hawkist officers were tried and executed after the war, but Konrad, Octavio and Friedrich were spared. Konrad then retired completely into the rural lands of Olav deciding to never interfere in state affairs. Konrad has two living sons, another one of which was a veteran of the Borian War; Kanrid and Danilo.
