== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
As a child Cassiath the Second, was taught by the best around, his Father, Duke of The Kingdom of Shaloma, about how to run a Kingdom, how to run a city and most importantly in his eyes, how to fight. At a young age Cassiath II, was forced to converse with all kinds of people, rich and poor, entitled and generous, old and young, all were accustomed to the young boy and spoke with him frequently, being a lot more talkative compared to his Father at his age. Age 13, Cassiath II could confidently beat his Father with ease, with his Father . Making him one of the best melee fighters in Wordesh. Cassiath II also enjoyed the finer things in life such as governing, helping and protecting those in need through diplomacy, building him up a reputation for having a silver tongue which would later help him in life. 
At age 14, Cassiath II began helping his Father Cassiath in the day to day running of the town of Wordesh in recruiting and managing of Districts, he succeeded very well in mediating people and producing the most efficient systems even his Father had not thought of. Yet still, he had much to learn from sometimes acting rash and immature and not considering that violence should serve as a last resort. His relation to his Father was very deep as Cassiath saw him as his Successor, and to one day surpass even him. Cassiath II however, was very distant with his Mother never seeking her advice and sometimes avoiding her for his distain of the province of Silvay a place he saw as a province that rivaled his Fathers - one that he was set to inherit once Oliver Lluvia Dem-Spheniscidae and his Father would pass away from their physical life. Cassiath II, had also joined the Knights of Shaloma, a provincial militia his Father had illegally formed quickly rising up the ranks at once point leading a hunt for HubertPug with his Father's recruits. Cassiath II, had earned himself military experience and felt confident anytime he was in combat with a foe threatening Shaloma, himself or his friends. At this time however, he ignored any teachings his Father offered him that were expected from him as a Noble, with things such as not being able to read, or write (other than his own signature). 
=== Death of Cassiath the Seconds Father ===
It was a cloudy day, early in the morning after a night of working hard, training in which, Cassiath II, had a heard a great commotion, sprinting outside from his Father's house without any hesitation in his mind, he saw his Father with an arrow in his stomach and Greg hanging over him like a demon of death. Before Cassiath II could process it or even get his sword out, his Father's life was ended in a swiftly yet also gruesome and miserable way; his throat slit, betrayed by someone he would call a best friend. This traumatized Cassiath II, yet there was no time, Gus returning to purge Greg from existence had now declared Cassiath II as their new leader and thus he was forced to now lead his people to the promised land, fleeing from the Viodoxans who plotted to wrought more punishment upon the Shalomans.
=== Rise of a King ===
Promised by GUS, they set out to find these lands. Cassiath II was only 17 when they had approached the Second in Command of a historic nation in the Aldoviri subcontinent called Sironia after being tipped off by a now dead citizen called Sefid. This unknown Second in Command would soon be known as Skinny, a renowned Mercenary, former World Leader, and war criminal. After much debate over borders and price, it was eventually agreed upon that Galadonn would receive a decent portion of land (around a moderate towns worth of land) for 350,000 Rathnir Currency. That same day, around 10-20 Shalomans now Galadonni's migrated to these lands. Half Swamp. Half Grassland. Quickly, the sole -at that time City State of Galadonn- City of Galadonn had began to thrive, and Cassiath II had been at the forefront of this with both recruitment, administration and security. 
=== Adulthood ===
Cassiath II was aged 20 when he was officially coronated in the Grand Castle of Galadonn City, now no longer existent. Cassiath II had proclaimed this as the highlight of his life being topped only by the Coronation of him as Emperor of Yimmu-Audal. The gathering of almost every person Cassiath II had ever met to celebrate the official crowning of him as King of Galadonn brought a tear to his eye. Additionally, in that same year, he had found a baby on his travels, once wandering through the Sironian Holy forests whilst looking for the answer of Ragnarok a message sent to him by his father and Watcher Cassiath. There he met Vikingr Potentia only a babe when he had met him lying in the centre of the forest. He raised him as his own, adopting him into the Potentia Royal House. Teaching him his ways on recruiting, teaching him how to lead and teaching him his ways with people. Some few years later, Cassiath II had also married a woman called Rose unfortunately, it was not the best relationship, with Cassiath II being more focused on the administration of the nation and Rose being more focused on her past relations they some few years after divorced. 
==== The Cornflower War ====
Then befell one of the worst things to happen in Cassiath II rule. The great Cornflower War. After a brief merger between Sironia-Carn and Galadonn it had fallen apart because of what Cassiath II perceived as intervention and manipulation via Viodoxa, especially the Bakura Dynasty the same family that had slaughtered Cassiath II's father. Cassiath II was the man to declare the war, it had caused him to suffer quite a high mental toll. Especially in the second battle. In which he had lost control of Lestria briefly, which had effected him deeply with it being a town he held extremely close to his heart. When Galadonn began to be on the backfoot Cassiath II had began to activate his contingency plan in which he contacted what was at the time arguably the most powerful alliance in all of Rathnir in which they had warned Viesten that if they were to go on the attack they would be forced to aid Galadonn. With this overseen by the presumed leader of DUTY, GBN, Galadonn and Viesten had a white peace with no territorial gains and losses for both sides. Cassiath II promised the people of Galadonn that he would do his utmost to never put them under that again.
=== Cassiath II Aged 25-30 ===
From aged 25-30, Cassiath II's focus was to develop Galadonn, he did this by joining both the Horde and becoming a Vassal of Yimmu-Audal things were looking up for him. As well as the new reconstruction of the Capital of Galadonn, which at the time, was set to take merely a decade or so, Cassiath II was focused on making a brighter more active Galadonn and a brighter more active Aldovir.
=== Ascension to Emperor of Yimmu-Audal ===
"Yesterday I was Galadonni, today I am Audalad."
These words, uttered by Cassiath in his first public address to the Audalad Court since formal appointment as the next Orishara of Yimmu-Audal, ushered in the next chapter of his life. The choice of Cassiath as Emperor was not without controversy; some traditionalist factions within the Audalad Court suggested it foolhardy to grant the status of Audalad to the ruler of an Aldoviri State, while others feared that the Kingdom of Galadonn could come to dominate the Empire as a whole. Cassiath, however, was keen to put such fears to rest. He had learned a great deal as Chief Diplomat of Yimmu-Audal, not only through his experiences conducting diplomacy on behalf of the Empire, but also thanks to the careful tutelage of the Orishara Beagle Audalad. The glowing recommendation given by the previous Emperor soothed many worries about the change in power, with the vast majority declaring their support for their new Emperor.
Alas, no sooner had the preparations for the Coronation begun did a crisis arrive in the Empire. A group of Carnian plotters backed by the Holy States of Viesten, as well as a small number of disgruntled Audalad nobles, declared a rebellion. Citing the founding of the "Neo-Carnian Caeronate" as the foundation of the insurrection, a vague list of grievances against Cassiath-and his home Kingdom of Galadonn-was put forward along with a demand for unconditional surrender on threat of complete annihilation. Cassiath, in his first public address to the Empire, made a short but simple statement.
"We fight."
=== The Neo-Carnian Revolution ===
The rebellion against Cassiath soon bloomed into a war, referred to now as the Neo-Carnian Revolution. Pitted against the new Emperor was the Neo-Carnian Caeronate, the Holy-States of Viesten, and various other military powers they had supposedly joined with to form what was apparently a world coalition. Cassiath immediately called in Yimmu-Audal's allies, but was dismayed to discover that not all of them answered the call. However, the Republic of Carvay gleefully raised their banners and marched to Yimmu-Audal's defence. Hurridly organising the Imperial Army, Cassiath personally oversaw the preparation for battle with the Coalition alongside his newly appointed Grand Bashar, Dodo. It became apparant that his home of Galadonnia was the target of the rebellion, which sought to destroy the very heart of Cassiath's power in Aldovir.
When the armies arrived at Galadonnia, Cassiath joined the rest of the defenders on the walls of Galadonnia. While outnumbered, many were hopeful that the defences would hold. It quickly became apparant that their hopes were well-founded; wave after wave of Coalition troops fell upon the walls of Galadonnia, and wave after wave were repelled. As Cassiath himself took part in the fighting, it quickly became apparent that the attackers were incapable of penetrating the city. After much fighting, they withdrew; Yimmu-Audal was victorious. A second attempt was made on the city some time later-once more, the Coalition mustered its forces and threw everything it had at the walls of Galadonnia. Once more, from atop the ramparts, Cassiath watched as his citizens and soldiers alike resisted every attempt to break into the city limits. However this time, when the attackers retreated, Cassiath gave chase. He lead his troops out of Galadonnia to the city of Illivian, the base of operations of the Coalition. Tired, battered, and without anywhere to run, the Coalition troops were put to the sword. Yimmu-Audal had won.
While the war continued, it was clear that the Audalad Troops had successfully repelled the attackers in both battles. Hoping to capitalise on the victory, Cassiath appointed a new Chief Diplomat-the Lirgalyn Gael Uí Néill-to open peace negotiations. The negotiations were held through two highly secretive channels; one with the Neo-Carnian Caeronate, and one with the Kingdom of Sironia-a vassal of the Holy States of Viesten, and their main base of power in Aldovir. The two resultant Treaties, the Cornflower Accords and the Treaty of Azethvir, saw both the Neo-Carnian Caeronate and the Kingdom of Sironia integrated peacefully into Yimmu-Audal. With these Treaties, the war was over-Viesten collapsed, and the upstart rebels had been exiled. 
Cassiath II, having ascended to the throne of Yimmu-Audal beset by war, was now preparing to rule over a new era of peace.
