Imperius Aurelian

Early Life
YourImperialism, formally ScrubPlease, now known simply as Imperius, was a refugee from the world of Rathnir. He was pushed out to sea on one of the last remaining boats to Eldham, however his parents did not make it to said boat in time. He awoke only to find himself alone, separated from everything he once knew. His first days of exploring were difficult, having to embark on his journey alone. After a couple of days, he stumbled upon the lands of a civilization, one that would become his first home, Rodinnbrok.

When he arrived at the settlement he was greeted by the settlement leader, "Sandy". It wasn't long until the two recognized each other's ambitions and became friends. After a period of talks, Imperius had become privy to the troubles of their northern neighbor; Valesco, an autocratic federation, having been faced with instability due its increasingly large size. And so with instability, rose opportunity. An opportunity for him to seize power. After a short stay in the nation, thanking the leader and the citizens of Rodinnbrok for their hospitality, he began his rough journey north to create a future for himself.

Independence
Valesco, a vast federation across the face of Eldham, had begun to cripple. Only two days after his arrival did he complete the construction of his outpost, which would come to be known as "Fort Kingston." Whilst constructing the fort, he discovered a hidden cave under the ice. The cave was wide, covered in ice with the sunlight beaming down upon it, creating a beautiful illustration of colors. Inside this deep cave he discovered historial records dating back thousands of years, both of the people before him, and all of their great achievements. In these records he discovered that the land he had settled on was known to the natives as "land av kulde", or the "land of coldth" in todays language. He immediately recognized the knowledge of these scrolls, memorizing them and then hiding them away for good.

After a period of a few days, he had amassed a following of dozens and the region had begun slowly transforming into a town. What had simply been a means of war, became a safe haven for the lost. Together, they would claim a future for themselves. One question remained, how would they take advantage of the weakened state of their occupiers?

After a couple of weeks had passed, news had been brought by distant travelers of the demise of Valesco. The once almighty federation, had been defeated by the Empire of Ravenguard. Thus beginning the race for power. Formally, the towns of Kingston & Nevermore would come together to form the Grand Duchy of Rhine, or the Rhineland for short. Utilizing the resources and manpower at their disposal, they began to mobilize and prepared for the war that was to come. Weeks of preparation, only time would show if it had payed off.

Rhineland
Imperius became the nations first leader, being rewarded the title of "Grand Consul." During his two-month reign as Grand Consul, he began to rapidly modernize his country and recruit likeminded individuals. In a matter of weeks, what had simply been an adventure to the north became a reality. No longer were they the under-bone of a corrupt regime, they were a nation of their own. Composed of seven large settlements, together they would work together to create an everlasting society.

However, the Grand Consul tiresome as the time went on, his craving for blood becoming ever stronger. Almost foreign. It had come to engulf his very character. He recognized the danger this would present to his people, and decided to resign, leaving the nation to his predecessor, Nethy. who remains as the current ruler of Grand Duchy of Rhine to this day. A man of ambition and ideal, Imperius had accomplished the very task he had set out to do. It was time for a new adventure to take hold, one that would shape Eldham history forever.

Blood Lust
After stepping down from his position of Grand Consul of Rhineland, he began focusing his attention towards the quenching of his blood-lust. This began by ravaging towns and stealing goods. The killing and massacring of many innocent, still not enough to satisfy his lust for blood. For power. It was in due time that he was invited to join The Duchy of Goondium, which he graciously accepted.

The goons while being a notorious war-seeking nation, gave purpose to him; a way to satisfy his urge for blood. To direct it towards something better, Rathnir. The very people who had casted him aside and still held onto his family legacy, had begun invading Eldham. His motivations for blood never greater, to punish, and execute, those who wished to exploit Eldham and her resources. To defend the people who had taken him in as if they were his own. No longer would Rathnir spread dissent and fear amongst the innocent of his realm. He would become the Defender of Eldham.

Imperius would continue to fight against the expansion of Rathnir's greatest empires, becoming an idealist and a well known advocate for Eldham independence. To this day, he continues serves as a symbol of fear for those who wish to make the treacherous journey over.
