Sir Lad von Praestigia, also known as SirLad, Bubble, or SirLadBubblepop, is the head noble of the House Praestigia, born in the Empire of Aristios, and current Supreme Leader of the Dominion of Sylvania.

History
"It was a thunderstorm, hundreds of years ago, when I was a wandering merchant and miner. Cold was the moon and melting was my heart, when I got news of what the Gods, the only true Gods, had in place for me. I got a revelation, a revelation that gave me knowledge of the darkest places of our universe, the truth of the purest form of humanoid behaviour, which enlightened this community through my word. After centuries fighting in the depths of Hell, where time was frozen, I have become the Champion of The Blood, and the Knight that brings the Gods of Chaos a voice to the mortal world, The Everchosen." - SirLad, addressing his Sylvanian subjects what the future had prepared for them.

Known Biography/Data
The age of Sir. Lad is unknown, some people say he is 17, some people say he was always there, some others think that his trip to Hell corrupted the perception of time of Sir. Lad, making him effectively "timeless", not to confuse with immortal.

Previous name is unknown, some researchers have begun to wonder whether the history of a wandering merchant and a miner is true, or just another way of trying to appeal to his subjects. What is confirmed is that his height is around 2 meters.

SirLad has participated in multiple battles carrying the flag of Sylvania and Aristios. Last known participation being the Battle of Fornost, with 4 fully equipped enemy confirmed kills to his name.

He is the founder of Sylvania, corrupting the souls of Aristii sailors that adventured to the far lands of the East, he managed to create the protectorate, which to this date is the most populated region of Aristios, with a population of 51 active members. The Sylvanian citizens have a history of conflict due to their extreme level of autonomy from the central Aristii government, often ignoring direct orders in exchange for those of SirLad, a testament to the loyalty of Sylvanians.

Sylvania, due to the vast frozen tundras, is often low on resources. The Noxwind famine had as consequence the creation of the Noxwind granary, however, this did not come without some moral sacrifices. SirLad, as means to afford the unending growth of the Noxwind population, yet the incredibly low resources of the frozen tundra, recurred to a last resource.

Together with Sylvanian inquisitors, the secret Sylvanian guild of sacking and banditry was formed, with SirLad at the head of command. This guild is in charge of funding the war efforts and feeding the population of North Sylvania through banditry and deceit. The Deceit St., where Harry von Praestigia, SirLad's first son lives, was named to commemorate the creation of this guild, and rumours say that somewhere in this street is where the guild's secret society was founded.

Now, half of SirLad's "free time" is spent sacking towns of neighboring settlements, robbing civilians and capturing leaders to afford yet another day for Noxwind.

Religiosity
Due to SirLad's devotion to the Chaos Blood, it has caused internal problems with the Patriarchy of Voclari, the state endorsed Aristii religion, as SirLad does not allow freedom of religion in Sylvania, contrary to mainland Aristios, which has sparked conflict interests in crusades, where in many cases, Sylvania refused to support Aristios, in exchange for their own eternal crusade against the enemies of Chaos, with the sole objective of entertaining the gods before they destroy it all.

After SirLad's facing with the gods of the light, however, chaos and darkness are no more than half of what being an Archon of Sylvania means. Argent Blood is now the most important quality of a Sylvanian. Unfortunately, due to how late this fight happened, around 90% of the Sylvanian population to this day still refuse to link themselves with the newly acquired knowledge of the Light.
