### **Early Life**

As he was born, Tigetius lived in a harsh environment, His father, Igarius, forced him to train all day as a warrior and practice in fights against already trained warriors. Once he reacehd 14 he was sent to the western mountains, to live with the wild animals of the mountains for a year. No one was sure if he would survive, yet after a year he returned as a true warrior. Later as he reached manhood and became a full citizen of Kratia, the city was raided by Scyrondians from the north. Serving under King Brasidas II and his father they fought off the barbarians, but many were lost, and so, Tigetius' hate for barbarians grew.

### **Life as an Ephor**

At the age of 26 his father Igarius died and Tigetius inherited all of the Morelian's family belongings, including mountain top villa and the position of his father along The Ephors. In order to truly earn his place as an Ephor, Tigetius sailed away to the ancestral lands of the Krateans, Thyconium, and established better relations with them

#### **Brasida's reign**

Life as an Ephor During his time as an Ephor Tigetius worked closely with king Brasidas II to develop Kratia from a small village to a worthy town, they took care of the food problem by expanding the farmlands and investing in animal herding.

Additionally they established relations with other city states such as Deva Victrix and Eudaimonia.

One night, Tigetius and Brasidas II went on a pilgrimage to the old temple of Myrodan in the ruined city of Myros. As they arrived what they eyes saw weren't the ancient yet magnificent ruins of the old city, but piles of stone and remains of buildings, with their valuable materials stolen by barbarians with no respect to the Ageosi gods. As they were walking around the ruin they were caught by a barbarian named Zyros. Zyros spoke words of ignorance against the pair, an argument started and ended with Zyros engaging the two.

Tigetius rushed to kill the barbarian, and almost caught him, but not before Brasidas was cut by the barbarian's sword. Sparking his divine anger, Tigetius used the power of Stratiotis to cut down the barbarian.

#### **Skarian's reign**

Brasidas' son was crowned as the new king of Kratia, Skarian I Hyrcanus. In most of his reign Tigetius was around his villa and worked on the arena or his family's history. Yet one night, when Tigetius was asleep, the king was assassinated by the same group of barbarians that killed Brasidas, the Ukialatans.

### **The Ukialta War**

43 years old, Tigetius Perncepus Morelian was furious, in sorrow and ready for war. As the son of Skarian, Brasidas III was still child, Tigetius stepped up as the regent of Kratia until Brasidas comes of age.

Farboid Hamvilar from Thyconium, a close friend of Kratia pledged his assistance to Kratia, and so, Tigetius declared war on the Ukilatan people, with the aim to end their threat to the Ageosi people. Deva Victrix and Eduaimonia pledged their assistance too in the protection of Ageos.

A year it took them to prepare the massive army, a year to forge armor and sharpen swords, a year of meetings and trainings. A year. And then, at the head of the Thycnonian fleet Tigetius sat, his armor on him, ready for war. As they reached the city of Israkra Tigetius lead his forces to the walls, soon he was struck by an arrow but he kept going, the league forces reached the walls and ensued in melee combat with the Iskarans, outnumbered they were quickly overrun and defeated. And so, Tigetius finally executed the assassins of his king, and brought end to the barbarian rule.

Yet instead, Polemos, the bastard son of King Brasidas II has took the position of power instead with the support of the rest of the ephors, even after Tigetius resisted it.

On the 1/11 Tigetius found his death, he died in his bed from old age. His son, Ademeos Irelius Morelian inherited his position and wealth.
