Cigomar II

The son of disputed Emperor Cedrinian I, Cigomar II was regarded as one of the most autocratic heads of the Theridan Empire ever. Following the instability at the beginning of his father's rule that spread throughout Paledia, Cigomar wanted to firmly reestablish Imperial dominance over the continent, particularly in the increasingly restless vassal states and non-human areas.
A series of brutal crackdowns began across Paledia, both in the Theridan Empire and in the vassal states of Asirar, Daend, Kedema and Hared, with increasingly large numbers of non-humans enslaved, those who resisted killed, and even, for the first time, a serious crackdown against non-human sympathisers. Cigomar II re-established the strength of the Empire, but instilled fear primarily throughout the land. Despite this, however, Cigomar enthused many pro-human elements in the Empire, and was generally seen as charismatic.
After ruling for a fairly brief period, Cigomar II died, the circumstances being deeply shrouded in mystery. Some believe he was assassinated, ambushed, brutally killed or poisoned, or perhaps kidnapped and taken away, but whatever the details, the outcome remains the same: Jerolian, 12 year old prince and heir to the throne, has taken up the mantle of the Imperial Dynasty, leading the Empire.
