Mathis Kattadun

Mathis Kattadun, born 137 AD, died 202 AD, was the second Protector of Orantania.
==Early life==
Mathis was born in 137 AD in Albor and became the second Protector of Orantania upon his fathers death in 156 AD at the age of 19. Mathis spent his early years as ruler of Albor establishing a strong farming community. He gave Altryanese Crusaders and settlers fertile lands surrounding Albor and loaned them money to establish farms. He established numerous more settlements, including Auberden, Resereen, Dammerburg and Ochenhelm surrounding Albor. He invited Elven merchants and farmers to establish themselves in these new settlements and by 180 AD, Albor had become a rich merchant town, predominately due to the fact that Albor was one of the few eastern Altryanese establishments that traded and allowed unrestricted access to the Elves.
With the towns treasury full, Mathis was able to begin grand construction projects. He oversaw the construction of Albor Castle, stone city walls, the Golden Gate Port and three new stone bridges.
==Later life==
Mathis answered King Boda II's call to arms in 175 AD and marched with 800 soldiers from Orantania, including around 100 Elven archers, to join with the King's armies for the Third Borgadian War. At the end of the war in 181 AD, Mathis returned to Albor and lived out his remaining years in Orantania. 
He placed his eldest son, Tomen Kattadun in charge of the newly formed Alborian Rangers in 190 AD, alongside veterans of Borgadian Wars, whose sole purpose was to protect the Orantanian trade routes from raiders, who saw the rich merchants and farmers of Orantania as easy and prosperous targets. The Alborian Rangers would become a renowned and powerful mounted militia with barracks in every Orantanian settlement.
