George IV

**George IV, Supreme Emperor**, simply known as **George IV** and born as **George Libirachi** (August 4, 1800 - August 26, 1852) was a Libirachi monarch and member of the Libirachi Dynasty who served as the last Emperor of the Libirachi Empire before the monarch's restoration in 2019, reigning between 1843 and his execution in 1852.

Born into the regal Libirachi family, George Libirachi was the second son of Prince Albert Libirachi and as such was third in line to the imperial throne, allowing him to grow up with little experience in the art of governance; instead Libirachi became a famed artist and musician, making the most of his secluded palace life to learn the arts and upon his coming of age in 1818, Prince George performed a variety of instruments at a royal gala hosted by his grandfather, Emperor George I.

In 1830, his father ascended to the throne and took up the royal name of George II, honouring his father and beginning a tradition within the Libirachi Dynasty, leading to it being nicknamed the "Georgian Dynasty". Under his father's reign, Prince George was still second in line to the throne, with his brother Prince Kaleb taking the title of Prince Royal, title of the eldest child of the emperor. Short lived in length, his father's reign came to a brutal end in 1830 with his assassination, and Prince Kaleb ascended to the throne as Emperor George III.

In 1843, Emperor George III was assassinated and died childless, allowing Prince George to be coronated as Emperor George IV, Supreme Emperor; despite not having any legal power, the title of Supreme Emperor was conferred upon George in order to appease the notoriously vain emperor. Inheriting a republican problem from his predecessors, Emperor George's antagonism towards Stanford Rightly led to the duke forming the Rebel Alliance in 1845. Following 4 years of secretly gathering forces and integrating into one entity, the Rebel Alliance began their uprising in 1849 with an attack on Imperial Forces in Mongolia and managed to destroy the severely weakened Imperial forces there.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Ulaanbaatar, Rebel forces began a long march to the central south of the Chinese regions, invading Tibet in September 1849 under the direct leadership of Ashford Longwood and smashed through the armed forces of the Libirachi commander Brigadier Kalen Barto in order to install a rebel government in the region, causing a domino effect as forces in the region began to retreat back to protect the imperial heartlands as the dynasty began to crumble. Initiating the Beijing Campaign in January 1850, Grand Marshal Ashford Longwood and Marshal Azriel Janda led the slow charge towards Beijing and the imperial palace, marching across Asia in order to try and make it into the capital of the floundering nation, as more and more family armies began to defect to the rebel alliance. Entering the city of Beijing in 1851, the Alliance army was repelled back from the capital although a second assault the following year would yield more success as Longwood led the Revolutionary Army of the Alliance into the Forbidden City on August 26, 1852 where Emperor George IV and his privy council were brutally murdered by members of the army, bringing about an end to the Libirachi Dynasty.

## History

Born into the regal Libirachi family, George Libirachi was the second son of Prince Albert Libirachi and as such was third in line to the imperial throne, allowing him to grow up with little experience in the art of governance; instead Libirachi became a famed artist and musician, making the most of his secluded palace life to learn the arts and upon his coming of age in 1818, Prince George performed a variety of instruments at a royal gala hosted by his grandfather, Emperor George I.

In 1830, his father ascended to the throne and took up the royal name of George II, honouring his father and beginning a tradition within the Libirachi Dynasty, leading to it being nicknamed the "Georgian Dynasty". Under his father's reign, Prince George was still second in line to the throne, with his brother Prince Kaleb taking the title of Prince Royal, title of the eldest child of the emperor. Short lived in length, his father's reign came to a brutal end in 1830 with his assassination, and Prince Kaleb ascended to the throne as Emperor George III.

During the reign of his brother, Prince George became a powerful force within the imperial courts and often found himself at loggerheads with the 17th Duke Rightly, Stanford Rightly, a similar political juggernaut and close confidant of the emperor. Regarded by many historians as unfit to govern, Prince George spent much of his time at court antagonising the Duke Rightly and attempting to halt the progress of his brother's government in fear of the reforms that the government began to propose.

## Reign

In 1843, Emperor George III was assassinated and died childless, allowing Prince George to be coronated as Emperor George IV, Supreme Emperor; despite not having any legal power, the title of Supreme Emperor was conferred upon George in order to appease the notoriously vain emperor. Inheriting a republican problem from his predecessors, Emperor George's antagonism towards Stanford Rightly led to the duke forming the Rebel Alliance in 1845. Following 4 years of secretly gathering forces and integrating into one entity, the Rebel Alliance began their uprising in 1849 with an attack on Imperial Forces in Mongolia controlled by Marshal Ashford Longwood, leader of the Longwood family army. Despite a defeat on the battleground, Duke Stanford Rightly was able to secure a victory by enticing Marshal Longwood to throw his family army behind the Alliance leadership and granted Longwood control over the entire Alliance Armed Forces. Now boasting a sizable army, the Rebel forces made a second concerted effort again at the Battle of Ulaanbaatar in April 1849 and managed to destroy the severely weakened Imperial forces there thanks to the defection of the Longwood family army from the Libirachi Dynasty.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Ulaanbaatar, Rebel forces began a long march to the central south of the Chinese regions, invading Tibet in September 1849 under the direct leadership of Ashford Longwood and smashed through the armed forces of the Libirachi commander Brigadier Kalen Barto in order to install a rebel government in the region, causing a domino effect as forces in the region began to retreat back to protect the imperial heartlands as the dynasty began to crumble.
