Zenovyi Duradenko



Born in the year 125 S.R. to Zbazan Duradenko the IInd and Mit of Lirgal, he is currently the Baron of Osundir, the head of House Duradenko and a patron of The Artists Guild of Simulami.

Early Life
Zenovyi was raised by his father and the servants at Castle Duras in Müviel-Osundir. His mother vanished soon after he was born, and ever since she was not found. Even though he never met her, he recalls having several dreams involving her mother. His father ensured that he would receive the best education in order to become a good ruler, therefore he studied at the University of Osundir with several teachers. Soon he nurtured a passion for history, a subject of which he grew very fond. As is the custom of the Duradenkos, he was also attracted to arts of any kind and endorsed several artists. Zenovyi himself wrote several poems and even music.

Lord of Osundir and of All Trajistavi
After his father passed of old age, Zenovyi inherited all titles from him as his only heir: The Domains of Osundir which included the title Lord of Osundir and also Lord of All Trajistavi.

As a ruler, Zenovyi encouraged the expansion of infrastructure across the Domains, along with new farmlands and a reforestation project. The city of Osundir began thriving once again, as the Industrial district had been expanded and as the walls were upgraded. Another project that he proposed was the upgrade of the Osundir-Lileanen canal, an old project started by his grandfather, Zbazan the 1st, who established the then smaller settlement of Osundir.

The 7 Years Regency
One night, Lord Zenovyi vanished from his chambers in Castle Duras. For 7 years, a regent council led by the Regent-Lord Latcov Yarka ruled on behalf of Zenovyi, hoping that he would return to reclaim his lordly throne of The Domains. Trajistavi law states that in case of such events a regency shall be held for "a lifetime" of the specific lord in cause. Since Zenovyi was 57 years old, the regency was to last 23 years at most, since at average the lifespan of Trajistavi people is 70 years.

The Return of Zenovyi
During the year 189 S.R. however, Zenovyi reappeared in his chambers younger than before, to the astonishment of all who were there to see him. Several weeks he slept in his chamber as he was exhausted, only waking up to eat and drink. As a new feudal system was adopted in Simulami during his absence, he was proclaimed Baron of Osundir and once again the Head of House Durandeko.
