Erinianus

Quenlin Exander in 1143

Supreme Commandant of the Armed Forces

Father of the Nation

Cera Exander

**Erinianus** (born **Quenlin Exander**) was an erinian general and statesman who became the 21st Grand Protector of the Erinian Commonwealth. With his 55 year long rule, he is the longest serving Grand Protector in erinian history and is widely considered one of the greatest rulers in the history of the western world. His stable rule and policies were responsible for instigating the Erinian Rebirth, which is considered a golden age for the Commonwealth.

Despite all the praise, there is however a growing consensus that Erinianus set the stage for the Tripartite Crisis.

## Biography

### Early life

Quenlin Exander was born to Karlus and Cera Exander in the year 1099, during the rule of Tronias. Most of the men in his family were of military stock and thus Quenlin was expected to follow tradition by acquiring a place in the armed forces. This would prove problematic, because young Quenlin was a rebellious and fiery spirit who more than often proved insubordinate to his teachers.

Erinianus started a military career in 1117, rising to the position of corporal after fighting against the Barmaulian Uprising. In 1121 he took an interest in politics and joined the Reform Faction. In 1222 he got himself elected to parliament from the sub-province of Daiara in Varlage. Although he never became the leader of his faction, he became very influential in parliament, often holding fiery speeches in the speaker podium.

In 1133 Grand Protector Solasian died and a few months later Lyros, his successor unexpectedly died as well. Erinianus became a popular candidate and was seen by most in the parliament as an excellent compromise between the militaristic and parliamentary branches of the Commonwealth.

He was succeeded by Arroldian.
Ry'ah and Myrai

In the legendary chronicles of the anari, the epic of **Ry'ah and Myrai** is the story of the seminal founding of the united anari tribe of peoples. The primary account of this story is the Ralasho Collection, written many centuries after the fact.

The setting entails that many hundreds of years after "Kaura the Great's conquests", the Alujari was the most powerful tribe of the Ardan because they had subjugated and enslaved the tribes of Qrivadu, Zuari, and Yaveli.

Brought up as a prince of the Alujari tribe, Ry'ah was in his early life a spoilt, unscrupulous and decadent man. He delighted in heavy drink, pursuit of women and the playing of games. Although, even from this early age, the unfairness of the mass subjugations sat ill with him, though he did not show it openly among the nobility.

Myrai was a lowly slave of the Yaveli tribe. A servant girl renowned for her beauty as well as her kindness and understanding, she was brought up under her master Lassar, who showed her that not all slave masters were cruel and uncaring. Yet a fire still burned in her heart, the intense longing for her liberation and that of her people's.

For these crimes, he was sentenced to life in prison and was deprived of his posthumous name.

Unusually little information exists regarding Gendelson's life before his ascension to the high office. Offensive gossip pieces have drawn connections between Gendelson and major crime syndicates and worse, to pirate kingdoms in Ilnomica.

He was succeeded by Aleritian. He was strangled to death in his prison cell by an unknown assailant in 1098.

"...which means that unlike the kings of old, the Grand Protectors rule through a de...central...ized...system."

Scrabbling the words and underlining them on the chalk board, Markus turned towards his small class. "Does anyone know what that means?"

Markus stretched his collar to cool himself. It was a particularly hot day of summer, whose heat was amplified in the stuffy classroom. He would have said that it made his students sluggish, if they weren't that most of the time. Warten leaned in his chair in the back while Vance had opened up the collar of his school uniform, letting some cool air blow around him. Wayne looked like he was fast asleep and Hanna hadn't turned her head away from the window. Taresa was as usual the only one of his students with her attention directed at him.

"
Lucian

Supreme Commandant of the Armed Forces

**Lucian** (born **Sindric Orvos**) was an erinian politician and statesman who became the twenty-fourth Grand Protector of Erinia.

First and foremost a politician rather than a soldier, Lucian sought to restore the damaged bridges between the protectorate, the Senate and the people of the commonwealth. In 1235 he ordered the release of Camilla An Jansberg and attempted to allowed for her to run for parliament.

He was succeeded by Gabrelius.
Valern

**Valern** (born **Wallace An Emdrin**) was and erinian lawyer and statesman who became the second Grand Protector of the Erinian Commonwealth, after his predecessor Kaysar unexpectedly picked him to be his successor.

Valern initially had to contend with a coup against him lead by Kaysar's son Rupert, republican loyalist riots and revolts by the armies of Nykesia all within the first year of his rule. But from there the state stabilized and his time in the office is remembered as one of the most internally peaceful in Erinia's history. Accomplishments during his rule include the codification of the commonwealth's general law, pacification of the Nulian states to the north-east in Calamont, and most importantly the discovery of the western continents, with one of them being named Valernia after him. With 41 years in power, he is the second longest-serving Grand Protector in history after Erinianus.

Valern is remembered for his reserved and calm manner and is considered to be one of the most intelligent men to ever lead Erinia. His rule greatly solidified and entrenched the regime of the protectorate established by Kaysar, ensuring its longevity. However, Valern's critics would consider him timid and indecisive, as his rule saw little great change over a long period of time.

Valern issued the tremendously consequential Edict of Graydon, which set the rule that once a member of a certain dynasty had occupied the office of Grand Protector, all members of that same immediate dynasty would be forever barred from assuming that office. This forces the Grand Protector to pick an heir outside of his family, granting more men of merit a chance at assuming the office.

Wallace An Emdrin abdicated the office of the Grand Protector in 986 and retired to the island of Jennis. He died of an internal haemorrhage four years later, receiving the poshumous name of Valern, named after the ancient arostrian kingdom of Valoren. He was succeeded by Magnian.
Palaks

Palaks are a mixed group of various sentient races that reside primarily within the Great Steppe of Mikana. Famed for being fierce fighters and notoriously independent, they serve dual roles in the eyes of the civilized world, as invaluable traders across the steppe regions, and as dreaded raiders who strike with speed and ferocity unmatched.

The Palaks differ from the traditional steppe peoples in a number of different ways. The steppe tribes are usually ethnically uniform, bow-wielding horseman, while the Palaks are a a gun-weilding and motley mix of various individuals of varying backgrounds. While the steppe tribes adhere to traditional hierarchical societal structure, Palaks govern themselves through small bands where

Lady Xarva

**Gan Bu'waila Poseztva** was a semi-divine figure who founded the Varkazic faith and the Holy Kingdom of Casary, ruling as its first Holy King for 146 years.

The intricacies of Gan's life have puzzled western historians for long. He appears to have been an extraordinarily strong psychic, reported to have torn down entire mountains and destroyed whole cities by himself. He also lived an unnaturally long life for 395 years according to the official histories of the Holy Court. The people of Casary believe that this was caused by Gan's complete enlightenment to the will of Avos, the one true god of the Varkaz religion, introduced by Gan during his years in exile.

The depiction of Gan's face is generally prohibited in Casary. The only depictions of him show a silhouetted figure, emanating a bright light in all directions.

Kingdom of Erinia

The Kingdom of Erinia was a sovereign state in south-western Dovania during first, second and third centuries. It was the direct successor of the Free City of Erinia and the predecessor of the Erinian Commonwealth. Through militaristic and diplomatic expansion it became the dominant state in Haven Bay and one of the great powers of Western Dalvania. The kingdom was greatly transformed during the Skagon Wars, after the success of the Winter Revolt and the formation of the Three Monarchies. The monarchy was eventually abolished during the Democratic War.
Edict of Graydon

The **Edict of Graydon** was a proclamation issued by Grand Protector Valern, essantially outlining the system for the succession to the office of the grand protector. It states that a candidate for successor is to be handpicked by the incumbent grand protector and then approved by the parliament. The edict's most famous clause however is the rule that once an individual grand protector has served his tenure, all other members of that individual's extended family are forever barred from serving as a grand protector. This was meant to force the grand protector to look to capable men outside his own family, fostering a meritocratic system.

The edict has been criticized by some as Valern's ploy of legitimizing his rule, which some consider an illegitimate usurper that seized power from Kaysar's son, Rupert Draven. Today anti-Graydon sentiments are prominent in ideology of the Eternalist League.
Western Continents

The Western Continents is an arostrian name for the two continents of Valernia and Martinia, that are located west of Dovania.

## Discovery

Evidence of lands to the west was first discovered in 389, when a merchant named Ellert Dunley was blown off his course in a storm while sailing to Amdroff, accidentally stumbling upon an island to the west which he later named Dunley, after himself.

After his initial discovery, Dunley set up a small colony and a naval base on the island. In the three years after, he discovered two separate groups of islands even further west. Dunley was preparing yet another expedition when he died of a stroke in 392. His second-in-command, Aron Warricson, took over the expeditions but was lacking in funds. He put forth theories to Erinian trading companies that if there were enough islands out west, it might give them a new trade route to the eastern realms and a backdoor to the lucrative luxuries of the far-eastern Panei archipelago. Although his idea seemed far-fetched, he managed to convince one of the largest trading companies in Erinia, Giles-An Hanes Brokers, to fund the expedition in the promise that they would get a monopoly on the new trade route.

Warricson set out in his expedition in 394, and for many weeks found nothing but ocean out west. When his food stores were two days from running out, a member of his crew spotted land. Warricson landed in what he initially thought was the biggest western island yet, but in reality he had landed on the southern tip of a new continent. The land was ripe with exotic fruit and animals and had no sign of human habitation. Warricson was ecstatic with this discovery, and quickly sailed back to Erinia, arriving in 395. Warricson told Giles-An Hanes of his discovery, who ordered him to keep quiet about it but news soon spread throughout the city, likely spread by members of Warricson's crew.

Warricson planned for another expedition the year after, but in 396, intense political turmoil escalated into an 8-year civil war. All companies in Erinia were put under strict control and all of Warricson's funding requests were denied. When the war was over, Joseph Draven stood victorious and completely transformed the government of Erinia, effectively abolished the Three Republics and founding the Commonwealth of Erinia. This new government was considerably more centralized than the republic, and so all privately owned companies were put under the heavy regulation of the state. The merchant class was severely restricted, and Warricson's dreams of exploration to the west were destroyed. He died of natural causes in 411.

The period after 396 was but a brief hiatus of the western explorations. In 427, Grand Protector Joseph Draven, posthumously styled "Kaysar", died and was succeeded by the lawyer and statesman Wallace Imdrinn. In the years following his Warricson's death, his expeditions had garnered some minor fame, but no new expeditions were sent as the resources of the state were stretched in building up infrastructure and wars in the east. But the new Grand Protector had heard of Warricson's curious expedition and decided that it had

The Saga of Yevan the Donakian

During my travels in Casary, I heard tales of a man. The tales seemed fanciful and fantastical, yet the people spoke of them with sincerity. The further I continued my travels, the more I discovered about what may have been the most widely discussed man in Casary at that time, with both passionate praise and cursed loathing. The tales told of a man who had come from come from nothing, moved mountains, and either saved or destroyed casarian society depending on who I asked. Surely, this went beyond the fabrications of a people known for their superstitions. I found myseld drifting towards these tales, and soon all my other interests on the continent became subsumed by my fascination of this man. Thus I decided to investigate and put together the most complete picture of his life that I could muster. I travelled the breadth of his former domain and spoke to both his fabled companions and sworn enemies alike. The man was named Yevan, known popularly as "the Donakian".

As his name might suggest, Yevan almost certainly came from Donakia, a country located in north-eastern Skovory. It is a harsh and brutal land, where numerous tribes war with one another constantly. Why he left his homeland and came to Casary is not entirely agreed upon, as the man was silent to all regarding his past. We can gather that he was possibly a prince or a general, due to the martial brilliance he would later display for all in Casary.

His companion, Laera Nikhun, claims to have went with him
New Traxia

New Traxia is the central hub of Valengard. It is here that the Traxian Council governs the rest of the known lands. The Traxian Council is comprised of five members, with each member being the head of a wealthy family. The Rambells, who provide the city with food from their many farms; The Folts, who provide the city with metals and precious gems from their mines; The Redburns, who provide the city with new technologies and innovations; The Urnals, who maintain the city and infrastructure; and finally, The Lambertons, who control the flow of wealth and maintain the economy of New Traxia.

The dominant religion found within New Traxia is the worship of the Shining Star, Lady Eissra. Few other religions exist, thanks to the bulk of the population being forced to follow the same religion. The outskirts of the lands have their own gods and goddesses, but to bring such sacrilege to the walls of New Traxia is forbidden. The Priests of Eissra rank just below the Council, being chosen as one is a great honor. In order to become a Priest, one must undergo a rigorous training program, culminating in a final test of faith. If one passes the test, they must then receive approval from all five members of the Council to be selected.

The Priests also act as New Traxia’s standing military. The weapons in this Era are heavily based around the Steampunk aesthetic, requiring special equipment to use most effectively. There is a small faction of individuals who believe they are more capable of running the military, fusing equipment directly into their bodies. The Priests and this group, known as the Steamborn, are in a cold war situation. Both have spies planted in and around their places within the Traxian Royal District. The Council still sides with the Priests, but a few have expressed interest in the Steamborn and what they might be capable of, namely Katherine who is a Steamborn herself.

Life within New Traxia is fairly decent, though work can be hard to come by. Most of the citizenry is employed by one of the five main families, though small businesses do exist, scattered around the city. Poverty is not too widespread, though there are a rather large number of individuals living in the Dirtwater, the poor district. People within the Dirtwater are looked down upon by the rich, but the middle-class take pity upon them. The acts of kindness provided by the Priests and middle-class keep most people happy, leading to very little conflict between the Commonwealth and the Dirtwater. The same cannot be said for the Traxian Royal District.
Early Karput State

The **Early Karput State** was the first organized state of the karput people and in general one of the first centralized states of humanity.

Its largely mythical origins lie at the slopes of the eponymous Karp Mountain, where the ancient Assidira family spilled their own blood in droves. Sibling killed sibling, child killed parent, friend killed friend. At last, the one remaining Assidira, Soror, claimed leadership over the people of the Karp Mountain, becoming the first master of the karput people. Soror then ventured forth to conquer his neighbors, laying the groundworks for a powerful empire. According to jordoxic legends, Soror spent his entire grief-stricken life in search of life's meaning, and thus indulged in drink, sex and war. However, when even those indulgences had lost their potency, Soror ventured into Karp Mountain, where he had a vision from god. Receiving instructions to lay the groundworks for his holy state on earth, Soror established the Karput State which would eventually become the Karput Paraxilate, god's holy state on earth according to jordoxic traditions.
CMSO

The **Commonwealth Mutual Security Organization**, abreviated to **CMSO**, was an erinian policing and security force active during a period in the Tripartite Crisis.

Widely known for its kaysarian punishments and vast abuses of power, the CMSO was dissolved by Victorianus and replaced by the modern Central Inspectory.
Council of Four

The **Council of Four** is transnational organization tasked with keeping external stability and peace between the Four Great Powers. Representatives from each power meet annually unless a special emergency session is called and usually meet in a host city in one of the four member states. The representatives are usually diplomats or political leaders of high standing, whose expressed goal is to sort out any disputes, controversies or outstanding issues between the four great powers. Most of the meetings have been held in Ardenia, although all of the states have hosted the council at least twice.

There have been three times where the council was attended by a head of state of one of the powers. During the second ever meeting in 699 hosted in Najar, Bravir Shanrala observed the council meeting, although not as a representative. The second time was in 703 when the council was hosted in Wilore, attended by Grand Protector Edward Lucairn as the official representative of Erinia. The third time was in 725 in Hleikom, attended by Grand Protector Thalias, who wanted to put extra pressure on the trading regulations that were largely the subject of the meeting.

The Council has been hosted most often in Najar, all of 36 times. A special palace was built in the city to host the meetings, called the Erucam. Statues of the founders of each state stands outside the palace, Kuruz and Arkos, Gan Bu'waila, Amuna the Great and Kaysar.
Rudian Shaardom

Rudos Aftalshan Shaarixeru

War-standard of the Shaar

The **Rudian Shaardom**, in its current iteration known as the **Aftalshan Empire**, or popularly known as the **Rudian Empire** in the west, is a sovereign state located in the Kabarun. It is one of the Four Great Powers and a member of the Council of Four. Although Rudia is often considered the most insignificant of the powers in terms of technological and economic strength, its society is one of the most militarized in the world, allowing Rudia to punch well above her weight, as evident in her several wars with Casary and the Amunavids.

A heavily conservative and militaristic society, it is ruled by the Shaar, an almighty warrior-king. The Shaars are all descended from the line of Kuruz and Arkos, many of them possessing immense strength and stature.

Holy Queen of Casary (proclaimed)

**Amuna I of the Amunavid Dynasty**, commonly known as **Amuna the Great** was the founding ruler of the Amunavid Baliqdom, one of the foremost states of the world and one of the Four Great Powers.

She was born to the Najarvid dynasty, the ruling dynasty of the Baliqdom of Najar. Becoming heir to the throne after the death of her father and older brother, she would exploit the political turmoil in Ardenia that followed the Yonnu Invasions and ultimately united Ardenia under her rule through a combination of warfare and diplomacy. She would then conquer the Kabarun and Infermia through stunning campaigns. She warred with the Holy Kingdom of Casary and again with the Yonnu before she was killed in the battle of Unaig.

Amuna is widely revered in her own realms, while she is widely despised in Rudia and Casary and has a mixed reputation in Erinia.
Magnacius

**Magnacius** (born **Jonathan Thedric Scullus**) was an erinian general who served as the 28th Grand Protector of the Erinian Commonwealth. He came to power after ousting Vergius, but he himself would only retain the title of Grand Protector for six months before being himself before ousted by the army Scotfrey Williams.

Sergey Augustein

Alberta Augustein

Andrei Augustein

**Sergey Maran Augustein** is the 36th and current Grand Protector of the Erinian Commonwealth.

He came to power after the sudden demise of Lucairn, who had failed to nominate a successor in time for his death. A minor crisis of succession occured, with Augustein positioning himself as the best candidate a few days after Lucairn's passing. The other likely candidate, Joseph Draven, had been considered Lucairn's first choice despite it breaking the centuries-old "edict of merit". However, Augustein's proximity to the capital gave him ample time to solidify his claim while Dravenov took weeks to travel to the capital from his base in Harvet city. An intense standoff ensued when Dravenov approached the city with an enormous armed escort and thousands of followers. Augustein and Dravenov entered into negotiations and managed to reach an agreement after a week. Seeing his position as untenable, Dravenov settled for being granted the simultaneous governorships of three republics in the eastern part of the commonwealth, which would all be converted into military provinces under his direct rule. In exchange, Dravenov renounced his claim to the office, and Sergey Augustein assumed the title of Grand Protector undisputed.

A political moderate, Augustein believes the protector's sacred role is to preserve and uphold peace and stability in the commonwealth with minimal interference in its mundane politics.
Kalicism

**Kalicism** is the main body of belief and worship in the Erinian Commonwealth.

There are several gods and deities worshipped in the Kalicist faith. Solas and Lunia were the original primordial beings and had together many children that would become the other gods. Solas and Lunia would split violently and build their own seperate palaces in the sky, Solas building his in the sun and Lunia building hers in the moon of Arnulia. Most males would reside with Solas in the sun while most females would reside with Lunia on Arnulia, exceptions being made for Vaslan and Palnas, who were considered almost female in their demeanour.

Bellarius

**Bellarius** (born **Eugene Kasperov**) was an erinian general who became Erinia's 22nd grand protector after his successful ousting of Holmgarian.

Bellarius spent his entire rule at war with other pretenders to the office of grand protector. In addition to having to contend with the Confederacy of Vicahl and the pretender commonwealths of Palnama and Belcisia, another popular candidate rose up in Calholm named Parceval Whitesend, promising vast political reforms to its inhabitants.

In 1206, after 3 years of fighting, Whitsend's forces were decisively defeated at the Battle of Valboroughs and Whitesend himself killed in the aftermath. However, Bellarius spent the remaining years of his life putting down other minor rebellions on the mainland, finding neither sufficient time or resources to deal with the breakaway states.

In 1210, Holmgarian was on campaign against a worker agitator rebellion when he suddenly collapsed and died. No explanation has ever been given to his death. He was succeeded by his second-in-command, Warton Krelm.
Yuddin Period

The Yuddin Period was a historical era in Western Casary, lasting from 2521 - 2430 BN. It was marked by ceaseless conflict between the various Fangesian states and dynasties, fought by several semi-mythical figures. The period's name originates from the Yuddin grove which sat in between the three most prominent states, therefore many oaths, negotiations, rituals, duels and battles would take place near it.

The period began when the delicate balance of power in Fangesia was shattered when Duke Ailok of the state of Praw entered into a series of disputes with dukes Ulna of Maftrano and Dravak of Caelaknam. In 2521 BN, Ulna and Dravak sent soldies to ambush and kill Ailok, who barely escaped with his life thanks to the sacrifice of his close friend, Hinyen the Brave. Enraged at his friend's death, Ailok openly warred against the duchies of Caelaknam and Maftrano despite the repeated efforts of the Mirni.

declared himself "Armax Palvanus", which has most often been translated to "Emperor of the Endless Sun".
Salvorian

**Salvorian** (born **Edward Lorson**) was an erinian politician and the 27th Grand Protector of the Erinian Commonwealth.

Salvorian ruled during the intense later years of the Tripartite Crisis, where the two splinter commonwealths of Belcisia and Maretalia competed for legitimacy as well as the secessionist Vicahl Confederacy of Palnama that sought to break from Erinia. Through his military skill and a wide propaganda campaign, Victorianus managed to re-conquer these states within the first five years of his rule, bringing a swift end to the long crisis. The collapse of the Vicahl Confederacy lead to a war with the Amunavids over territory disputes in the east, which culminated with the peace of Lhynkis and the creation of the Council of Four.

He took over the tumultuous rule of Warton Krelm, who had bullied and suppressed his political enemies as well as tried to remake the commonwealth into an autocratic state. Victorianus decided to deny Krelm a posthumous name, something that had only been done once before, with Paul Nousen Gendelson. In 1217, Victorianus dissolved the CMSO, Krelm's suppressive police organization, and two years later created the Central Inspectory as its replacement.

An extremely militant ruler who served in times of rebellions and wars, Salvorian is remembered as one of the most unflinching and disciplined men to have ever taken up the mantle of the protector.

He died of a stroke in 1231 and was succeeded by Lucian.

Preservist Faction

Balanced trade policy

Seperation of state and military

Narrow Citizen grants

The Preservist Faction in a political faction in the Erinian Commonwealth and currently third-largest faction in the Parliament. It is by far the oldest ongoing political faction, founded in 812, making it the only current faction to pre-date the commonwealth itself.

Historically, the faction has been very popular and has been the largest faction of the Parliament or a majority of its history. Its biggest ever win was in the elections of 1170, when the faction won 411 out of 500 possible seats. Since then, the faction's dominance has steadily declined. In the elections of 1272, the faction's support reached a historic low and was for the first time not one of the two largest factions.
Theadius

**Theadius** (born **George An Griesvald-Vormern**) was an erinian general and politician who became the 5th Grand Protector of the Erinian Commonwealth.

Born into a wealthy upper-class family, George experienced wanderlust from a young age, dreaming of exciting ventures. At the age of 20 he enlisted in the army and became an officer, where he became good friends with Fredrick Hanes, son of future Grand Protector Domitius. Through this connection George became acquainted with

Serving as the head of the Silverblade Guard during the last six years of Domitius' rule, Theadius became a favorite of the Grand Protector who assigned him as his successor a year before his death.

Theadius continued Domitius' policy of strengthening the Silverblades, who rose to the height of their power during his rule. This earned him intense scorn from the parliament and the army, both who feared that this clique of bodyguards had seized power in the state. In 1018, Theadius was travelling through the lower boroughs of Erinia city when he was attacked by an angry mob. He and much if his bodyguard were killed in the ensuing fight.

He was succeeded by his premier minister, Praedius.

The Thousand Years War was a series of interconnected conflicts waged between the numerous states and factions of the Arostrians and the Nulians.

Though prevalent in the popular imagination of today's culture, the term "thousand years war" has been widely criticised by scholars and academics for creating a false narrative of a single continuous struggle between two separate groups.

**The Great Kaspanian Civil War**, also known as the **War of Freedom** or **Kaldra's War**, was an enormous conflict waged throughtout much of the Western World. The war began exclusively as a internal war in the Kaspanian Empire but later spread over much of the western continent, involving numerous different nations.

The war is widely considered the single most destructive conflict in western history and one of the most destructive in world history. Up to 15 million people may have perished, almost half of the population of the Kaspanian Empire, but this number is only guesswork. The conflict was so destructive that entire cities that once stood as major cosmopolitan centres were completely destroyed or abandoned. Of the four most strategic and important cities of the Empire, Kaspania, Tauria, Fralenda and Nidris, only Fralenda survived.

In Dalvania, the collapse of kaspanian civilization lead to a rapid decline in trade and commerce which in turn lead to a century of unprecedented instability known as the Western Catastrophe.
Arnulian

**Arnulian** (born **Gunther Torwald Jackson**) was en erinian politician and theorist who became the 10th Grand Protector of Erinia.

Earlier in his life, Arnulian had written many books and treaties where he praised the system of the commonwealth and the protectorate as the best possible system of government. In 1042 he was elected to parliament from the sub-province of Ruryala in the Lakedon Republic. Five years later he became the leader of the Preservist Faction. After the death of Grand Protector Marianus in a horsing accident without an appointed heir, it fell to the parliament to pick his successor. The debate came down to two candidates, Arnulian himself and Markus Harrison, leader of the Moderate Faction. Arnulian won the vote by 10 ballots out of 300 total.

Although Arnulian respected and honored the military of the commonwealth, he largely shifted the focus of the state towards the parliament and civil matters. He eased or outright lifted many trading restrictions between the new republics and improved the road system, greatly increasing the prosperity of the new republics in the Compact lands in particular. Arnulian also officially sanctioned over 80 arostrian colonies in Etria, a process that saw most of the Nulian inhabitants there either killed or forcefully removed. To combat this growing problem, Arnulian decreed that the Nulians would once and for all get their own homeland on Banyap island in the north of Dovania, renaming it to Nulia. In 1061, Nulia was officially made a republic of the commonwealth.

In 1063, whilst attending the 14th Spaltanic games, Arnulian was shot in the abdomen by a disgruntled soldier and died the next day. He was succeeded by his designated successor, Alexian.
Gabrelius

Supreme Commandant of the Armed Forces

Gabrelius (born John Vance Eccelston) was an erinian politician and general who became the 30th Grand Protector of Erinia.

He continued the decentralization trends of his predecessor, Thalias, granting more autonomy and initiative to local military commanders on the frontiers. Gabrelius also had to contend with a revolt against taxes in the colonial city of Skagon-in-the-West, which was crushed decisively by the colonial militias.

Gabrelius also lead a notorious private life, with rampant rumours regarding his attraction towards the male sex. Reportedly, Gabrelius even openly admitted to bedding several men on a drunken rant to an ambassador from Rudia.

Gabrielus died of a heart disease at the age of 53. He was succeeded by the influential general, Septanian.
Simonist League

Republicanism

Abolishment of the Grand Protector (minority)

**The Simonist League**, also known as the **Simonist Brotherhood** is a political organization in the Erinian Commonwealth. Composed mainly of radical reformists, the Simonists stand for the rights of the underprivileged, the poverished and the oppressed.
Aleritian

Premier Minister

**Aleritian** (born **Henry An Askenhold**) was an erinian politician and statesman who became the 15th Grand Protector of Erinia, after the removal of Paul Nousen Gendelson.

Aleritian took harsh actions against Paul Nousen Gendelson and his allies, who had attempted to seize control of the parliament and state. Most of them were put to death or exiled, while Gendelson himself was imprisoned until his murder in 1098.

Aleritian was noted for de-emphasizing the militaristic side of the high office, taking a more active role in the every-day politics of the state. As a former member of parliament himself, Aleritian presented the Grand Protector as an extension of parliament and its powers, rather than a force above it.

The last two years of his life were dominated by his political struggle against Valdemar Constance, whose criticisms of Aleritian became ever more popular. Valdemar would eventually became Grand Protector himself.

Aleritian died in 1097 and was succeeded by Troanias.
