Diril Paloro

Birth
Diril Paloro or Diril Korol-Paloro (often also referred to as Diril "The Young") was born to Sasha Korol I and Slout IV Korol in distant Eldham, before being adopted by Tsoto Poldi Paloro, who personally took care of him while he was young. It is said that the young boy had a very humble life in his adopted father's house in Ottilate, where it is rumoured that he even had to sleep in the same bed as his father until the age of 9.

Education
Diril started his education by learning to read and write Potheth whilst being tutored by Poldi. Eventually he was enrolled in the Royal academy of social sciences and arts when he was 8 years old. As a royal, he had the right to join a programme from a young age, leading him to choose the young architects programme. He continued to study there until the age of 19, eventually graduating with a specialisation in architecture, but also took courses in politics and international relations. Diril also read quite often out of interest, mainly on the subjects of internal and external diplomacy.

Early ascension to the throne
Diril's father had grown increasingly sick of politics (possibly due to the instability of the country at the time) and eventually abdicated the throne to his adopted heir on founder's day in January. Diril was only 9 years old when he was forced to become Tsoto of Paloro, the youngest out of any other Paloran Tsoto to date. At first Vehjmytz, a royal council member, was assigned to be regent until Diril reached the age of 12.

Early Diril Era
In the years following the change in leadership Paloro became the weakest it had been in a long time. A combination of inexperienced rulers and unfavourable harvest seasons pushed the Paloran population and economy into ruins (Paloro had only 10 people according to the February Rathnir census). Throughout February and March many reforms were passed to deal with the population and economic decline. Attempts at policies such as development of the capital and reforming the ministerial system didn't prove too effective at first. Historians argue whether the reason for this decline was Poldi's desire to get away from all politics in the last months of his rule or the lack of experience of Diril and Vehjmytz, likely a combination of the two.

Middle Diril Era
In late March during the Vinovia Crisis, Diril was forced to make very difficult decisions about the future of his Kingdom. The most defining policy of this era was the end of Paloran neutrality and isolationism. It is noteworthy that while Paloro lost land to the east, it was uninhabited and the Paloran population actually grew massively during this era.

Late Diril Era
In late May after a controversial council vote Paloro held a referendum to join the Hearthstone Yuldai. The referendum eventually passed and Diril was made into a new member of the Hearthstone high council, retaining the title of Tsoto at the same time. He remained there until his abdication where he officially handed the Paloran crown to Eman on founder's day in July 2022, who was also crowned Ashannu of Hearthstone on the same day.
