Jerolian I

Following the mysterious death of his father, Cigomar II, the young Prince Jerolian was crowned Emperor Jerolian I, most recent descendant of the First Emperor, Therid I, head of the House of Therid, and ruler of the continent-spanning Theridan Empire.
Too young and immature to rule, the Nobles convened and agreed that a Regent must be appointed for the boy-Emperor, selecting a man for the role to govern in Jerolian's name until he reaches sufficient age that he is able to take the throne. After much debate and consideration, [UNNAMED] was chosen to be Regent.
==Childhood==
Little more than a young boy in the middle of his education and training to be Emperor, Jerolian is generally regarded as a kindly young boy, who lived perpetually in his father's shadow. Very childish, he was often seen around the Imperial Palace in Thedrinydd, playing with other children of noble families, or receiving lectures from nobles, teachers and his father on various topics pertaining to the Empire.
His mother tongue the language of humans, he is also conversant in the language of the elves and dwarves, but rarely uses these languages. A shy child, Jerolian greatly admires both his father and the Emperors of old, and despite his young age, hopes one day to continue to rule in their prestigious line.
Jerolian has received many proposals for betrothals from all the nobles families, offering to marry their young daughters to the boy-Emperor, in an effort to curry Imperial favour, but with the death of his father, the Queen Mother and Regent have so far refused all proposals.
==Coronation Tragedy==
During the open-air coronation proceedings and subsequent parade of the new Emperor and Regent through the city of Thedrinydd, several hundred people were crushed in the crowds and trampled underfoot, with nearly one thousand people also injured. The bloodshed marrs the entire event, but nobles insist that the Emperor continue with festivities, much to the anger of the crowds. When an investigation into the Coronation Tragedy is called and a member of the nobility is found to be at fault, the nobles pressure the Emperor into suppressing the information, arguing it would undermine the Empire if people knew the nobility were at fault, which prompted further dissatisfaction from the people when the investigation yielded "no results".
==Non-Human Revolts==
Soon after the beginning of Jerolian's reign, a series of non-human revolts broke out across the Empire. Elves have risen up and seized the city of Lotharen and the surrounding countryside, the dwarves in Southern Paledia have staged a revolt in Ureloth, and a Wild Race rebellion has risen up near Oldlyn. Only time will tell where these revolts will lead to.
