Ludos (Triumvir)

The Ruby Throne was the seat of power for the house of Ryiomand for thousands of years. After fashioning the kingdoms of Liberus and Munio, Ryiomand headed off into the western portion of the province of Ocyria. His army was the greatest force that has ever been amassed in the history of men and he met the forces of the vile nation of Dargh in what would come to be known as the kingdom of Ludos. The Sverkic peoples in that province had been locked in a border conflict, known as the War of Black Sands, with Dargh for decades, but when Ryiomand the First marched on Ludos, the Sverkic leaders respected him and their numbers joined his host. In only a week, the Ocyrian army ended the long conflict and beat Dargh back into the north. All of the Sverkic leaders knelt to this knew king and asked that he would rule them and he made it so that the city of Ludos would be his seat of power. He had for himself crafted a throne of rubies and red iron, a native metal in Ludos.
After this great victory and the creation of the third kingdom, Ryiomand the Gracious called for a moot with the other two kings of the three he had created. Together, they wrote the rule of law known as the Book of Three Thrones. Each seat would control a specific aspect of power over the whole of the nation of Ocyria. The Ruby Throne would control the executive aspects of the nation, such as military function and directing the actions of wars. He could not declare war, however. That right was given to the Azurite Throne, which also was responsible for the legislative aspects of the nation. The Council of Munio, formed of representatives from across the nation of Ocyria, and the Azurite King would write laws and bills, which would then be vetoed or signed into law by the Ruby Throne. These bills, however, would be judged by the Citrine Throne. The Citrine Throne and the Pelagic Arbiters, a court of judges nominated by the Ruby Throne and agreed to by the Azurite Throne, would judge any law made by the Azurite Throne or action made by the Ruby Throne and determine whether it was lawful in the eyes of The God of Absolute Law, Atavius. Most Pelagic Arbiters over the years have been either judges or priests of Atavius before being selected.
In recent years, the last of the Ryiomand line, King Ryiomand the One Hundred and Sixty-Seventh, passed away under mysterious circumstances. With no known heir to take his throne, a regent was elected by the citizens of Ludos. Hadrian Belnades was named the One Hundred and Seventieth Ruby Triumvir and immediately enacted regional law that allowed the laws of The Conglomerate to be enforced in Ludos. Liberus and Munio both opposed these actions, but when the regent would not back away from his convictions, it lead to the breaking of the Triumvirate. The kingdom of Liberus joined the Alliance of Tal Na Mry, an ancient alliance that preserves the Rules of Mortality and strives to protect those who would be oppressed by The Conglomerate. Munio removed itself from the conflict, declared neutrality in the fight between Liberus and Ludos, and bolstered its borders to defend against possible invasions from its neighbors.
