Character History
Siegfried was born in Lileanen to the Imperial family of Aspach. His father was Albrecht II, a ruler known for his policies of Exploration and small skirmished with the neighboring tribes. Siegfried went on several of these expeditions into Plagos as a child and saw many a foreign culture and land. On this trip he stumbled off with his grandfather, the Grand Emperor Ioannis. Ioannis and the young Siegfried journeyed with their retinue to a shrine and sat down upon the hill, praying to the deities of the Soleannen faith. At this time an Eclipse would begin, darkening the land around him bar the light given off by the shrine. At this time Siegfried recalls that the spirit of the Saint Cesare spoke to him, telling him he must reunite the heartlands. Upon his return, Sieg would go on to study what he could on the faith and the history of his own people, as well as tactics although never becoming proficient in combat himself. Sieg would take his own retinue at 17 to the southern lands of Sparwood exploring the tundra, while he was here his father was assassinated. Sieg rushed home from the expedition and took the throne, from here he would go on to develop the city of Lileanen and its neighboring towns. Over time Sieg got more and more ambitious, as he claimed land south of the city and began to plan many great city projects. At this time when he was in the nether, 3 armed men approached the Emperor wishing to attack, but were met with the Emperor fleeing to Lileanen instead of a fight.

At this time it was learned that the men came from the Island off the coast named Tessel.The issue was largely left unignored until a notorious bandit was killed by the Emperor and his guard. At this confrontation the man was learned to be conspiring with the Tesselians (Turtlonians) and the Imperials planned a way to get rid of their neighbors. The Emperor held an Imperial diet with the conclusion that they must move or convert out of their cultist religion. Sieg lead an invasion of the island and through the course of The Turtlonian Wars, he conquered it from the Tesselians. After this he began to greatly expand the Empire to its current borders and being in many of the worlds major events as a participant or cause.

He lead the Imperials out of a state of decline brought out by being trapped by the VIR and YA, as he was a founding member of the Trillium alliance. He would then go on to fight against the many coup attempts brought out by the YA, and integrated Aezenfjord into the Empire. After this he would finally go on to claim the throne of Yimmu-Audal then lead his men to victory at the Battle of Cahuarn against Yimmu forces. After this he would participate in the Battle of Urnu-Arrak and annex Yimmu-Audal. Following the victory he continued his being as a mystic and nomad for the Soleannan faith, helping erect the fort of Il-Kabulli.

During his time as Emperor he would become obsessed with ancient Niedene lore, leading to the research into ancient Soleannen magicks. Here it is said he began to act crazed, while the Archeren even claimed he began to complain about hearing a voice. He would set off to the southern reaches of the Empire with his Archeren Karde, starting an excavation and restoration of the ancient tomb of his ancestors Flammastahl. It is here he would begin to convene with a spirit in the temple he claimed was the god Boreallis. After receiving a burn after one meeting he began to wore the mask that he was known for in his late days, giving him the nickname the Faceless King by members in the Church.

He would go on to use this power to perform the Escharian Ascension, so that the people of his Empire wouldnt face another world war although this became obsolete as Niedea would be embroiled in a similar conflict years later.

Modern Legacy
SikkeOst established Escharia as a state and lead it to glory, this lead to the side effects of the Soleannan Spirits being formed and the conflict over the land now. The Aesperium is named after him. His most important legacy is that of being an Exalted Spirit in the Soleannen Religion, being a demigod as he has part of the soul of Boreallis.
