Lennard Poliorcetes

Early Life
Lennard grew up in a comfortable home with his father. He grew up like most aristocratic children would, hunting, going to celebrations, and meeting other nobles. He enjoyed hunting in particular, as he found pleasure in competing with his friends. When his father died Lennard fell into a deep depression, and started drinking, and gambling, away much of what he had inherited. During the war with Pasifa he enlisted and saw the horrors that royal pride brought to the Drakaesland with his own eyes. He ended up making friends with the common soldiers and started to hate the nobility of Amarillo.

State of the Nation
During Lennard's first turn Amarillo was in bad shape. It was at war with Pasifa, the population was declining, and the economy was stagnant. Lennard formed a coalition with the socialists and republicans to pass legislation to combat the many crises the nation found itself in.

Passed Legislation
Notable legislation passed in this time includes "The Financial liberation act", "The Army reform act", "The Economic mobilization act", and "the Southern Revival Act". He also changed the province system to fit the new demographic status of Amarillo and reformed the Ministries into Comisario positions. At the end of his term Amarillo had taken Pasifa's capital, the economy was better than ever before, and the population started to increase again.

The Uprising
When parliament was disbanded and the Unión Republicana called to arms Lennard heard their call and joined them in the defense of Ruscoviask. However, when the republican forces were destroyed in the second wave he was captured.

Fate of a Rebel
Lennard Poliorces was later executed by monarchist forces in Verdesburg.

Meeting the Dragon
Upon his death Lennard found himself before the gates to the afterlife. The sight was something to behold, too grand to describe in its entirety, too beautiful to comprehend, too dark to find comfort in. When he knocked at the gates however, he was greeted by an eldritch voice:

"Entrance denied," it said. "You are blessed" it continued.

Before he knew it he was back on the ground, in the desert of Ragdon. His limbs were burning in a white fire that melted even his bones until only his soul was left. But his soul didn't burn. So he got up, now as a floating shadow, blessed by his one true god.

Return to Amarillo
By the time Lennard returned to Amarillo protests had forced his father to remove all punishments for the Republicans who had rebelled. After a long conversation with his father, Lennard promised to remain loyal to the monarchy, and was made Vice Primer Comisario. As Vice Primer Comisario he managed the nation much like he did as Prime Ministro, however this time his father set the course of the nation, and the rest of the cabinet played a much bigger role. In this time Amarillo rose to its highest high since the days of the Republic, and arguably even surpassing it. It was also around this time that Lennard became the mayor of Puerto Amarillo, and governor of Islas Amanecer, solidifying his position in the Kingdom.

The Twilight Empire
In late November a crisis in the Nachtenreich occurred, Tir Mordia had declared its independence and needed to be pacified. Lennard was sent along with many other soldiers of Amarillo to aid the Nachtenreich, and together they were successful in crushing the rebellion. After the fighting Lennard continued to stay in the Nachtenreich for some time. In this time he got closer to Delta, who he had previously only known as the Military Governor during the Pasifa war. They happened to share many beliefs over the state and future of Drakaes. So, when Delta presented the idea of unifying Amarillo and the Nachtenreich to the Amarillian government, Lennard was fully on board. He was involved in the negotiations and drafting of the new constitution, and was strongly involved in selling the idea to the Amarillian people. Twilight would set on Drakaes, and Drakaes would rise again.



The December crisis
As a reply, to the unification of Amarillo and the Nachtenreich, the Simulami Empire sent an ultimatum demanding the dissolution of the Empire and banishment of many core members of the Twilight Empire. What followed were a few days of hard negotiations, as the government scrambled for peace. During this time Lennard was on his way to visit the Nachtenreich to plan the coronation with Delta. But when he arrived there, he saw that the city was abandoned. Upon returning to Puerto Amarillo he was informed that a new treaty had already been drafted, and knowing that the Yoakens were gone, he knew the war was pretty much lost already. Undeterred by the idea of defeat, Lennard continued to argue for war, however this attempt was in vain since the entirety of the government had already agreed to peace. Reluctantly Lennard signed the Treaty of Varasopolis, ending the December crisis and the Twilight Empire.

Lennard resigned in protest of the peace only hours after it was signed, and made his way to meet his mother in the following days. His last proposal to Parliament ended up triggering the collapse of the Amarillian government, solidifying the post Twilight decline of Drakaes.

The Phantom Prince
In Arthholds Lennard lived a quiet life. Mostly building his city of Wraithia, farming, and writing letters to his friends. He gave advice and wrote announcements and treaties when Aurica gained its independence, He wrote letters to his sister who had now become Queen of Takavia. And he did his best to help Arthholds develop, but he was no longer the man who led Amarillo. The walls of his castle keep him save and alone.

Journey to Rathnir
Lennard started experiementing with travel through the afterlife and learnt he could travel between two set points in Eldham and Rathnir, as long as he remained in his ghostly form. However, for every journey would leave him exhausted, unable to do anything for weeks, or months. He set his point in Eldham in the large dark Tower in Mirai, and the one in Rathnir would be somewhere around Plagos, he believed. However, he ended up landing in ocean, near an abandoned island. There he claimed the small village and joined Lunaris.

Home
Today Lennard lives a peaceful life on the small Island of Navori, in Lunaris.
