Aeneas IV of Elysium

Biography
Aeneas Elysius Buccio was born in the seaside town of Lucius of the Kingdom of Lennox to a fisherman family. He is known for rediscovering the lost city of Elysium and reestablishing it as Mare d'Libertás. Growing up, Aeneas's father, Aeneas Elysius Buccio III, would tell Aeneas IV the legends of their family's ancient kingdom Elysium. His grandfather was convinced Elysium was real and later died on a voyage to find the lost city. At age 20, after his grandfather's death reached Lucius, Aeneas Buccio IV set out on the same voyage as that of his grandfather to find Elysium. Searching all across Northern Rathnir, Elysium was finally discovered submerged underwater after a sea storm ravaged Aeneas's boat and pulled him to the sea floor. While attempting to resurface Aeneas stripped off his sword belt, boots and cloak. He at the time carried his grandfathers sword, which upon reaching the ruins of the city activated ancient magic allowing those nearby to breath beneath the sea. Aeneas Buccio IV and Elysium later joined the Kingdom of Lennox where Aeneas became Grand Vizier along with Ericbam. At age 27 Aeneas decided to leave Lennox and brought his city under the flag of the Emirate of Najer where he remains a Seyoh.

Kingdom of Lennox
Aeneas Elysius Bucco IV was born within the Kingdom of Lennox in the small seaside town of Lucius. However he did not become an important figure within the Kingdom until he discovery of Elysium and the founding of Mare d'Libertás.

Lennox Politics
Aeneas IV, became a shabtoum shortly after bringing news of Elysium to the Pharaoh of the time, Sirius. Elysium was welcomed into the city as a colony and later upon its expansion and rebirth became a vassal state. Aeneas was a champion for change and prosperity for Lennox and was named a high priest, allowing him to further push for his political agenda. Aeneas Elysius Buccio ran for the position of Grand Vizier twice, winning the position the second time along with Ericbam. Aeneas served as the Grand Vizier of Internal affairs with Ericbam as Grand Vizier of external affairs for three months (IRL). Within this time Aeneas pushed for a new system of government called Ekklesia which featured political parties having representatives who would meet with the Pharoah and Grand Viziers on a weekly basis to discuss the state of the nation. In addition to the Ekklesia, Aeneas founded the Lennox National Park, the first national park of Rathnir. However as his term progressed it was discovered that the population of Lennox was on a stark decline, to further issues, a group within Lennox opposed to the change Aeneas's proposed began to gain support. This group called for war on Ostia and Haalge and greatly ignored the authority of the Grand Vizier position. As support for the opposing group grew, both Ericbam and Aeneas slowly lost the position as the power of the Grand Vizier position fell. The Ekklesia and National Park project were abandoned, and Aeneas, still attempting to do what he promised for the citizens who elected him, was ridiculed until he resigned his position. After his resignation Ericbam became the sole Grand Vizier, and the title of Grand Vizier diminished into just that, a title.

Changing Hands
Soon before his resignation Aeneas, seeing the turning tide in the Lennox political world, began to set new foundations to support the future of his city, at the time still named Elysium. Aeneas approached the Emirate of Najer and after negotiations with the Emir of Najer and Pharaoh of Lennox Elysium became a dual Vassal State of Najer and Lennox under the "Pact of Elysium" (signed 9/19/2022). Later Elysium would leave the Kingdom of Lennox and join the Emirate of Najer in full after Aeneas's resignation.

Emirate of Najer
Aeneas joined the Emirate of Najer first as a diplomat then later as Seyoh after the signing of the "Pact of Elysium."

When Aeneas IV presented his idea of he and Elysium leaving Lennox to the new and current Pharoah, their words were "Okay whatever." Therefore, after the signing of "The integration of Elysium" by Lennox, Aeneas, Ericbam and the Emir of Najer, Aeneas Elysius Buccio IV left Lennox and took with him Elysium to The Emirate of Najer where both he and the city reside. Elysium under Najer was eventually renamed Mare d'Libertás as large scale rennovations went underway.
