Friedrich Aulian

Origins:
Friedrich of House Aulian, was born an undisclosed time ago, as son of an exiled Escharian noblewoman and Emperor Yorg Moreau Aulian. He spent his teen and early adult years in obscurity, living in the outskirts of Porthaven

Divine Interaction
At the time of his early years, Solaris himself is said to have appeared before young Friedrich in the form of Solaris Helios, the infallible and Aettetos Sun. The All father revealed Friedrich's real indentity, that of a member of the Aulian family and especially the son of the Emperor of the Realm. Helios warned Friedrich of an upcoming war in the realm, and without elaborating, advised the youth to be ready to take up arms to establish his name. Friedrich was shaken by the appearance of the all father before his very eyes, yet he understood the true way, the way of Solaris Helios. From that point on, Friedrich would be blessed by the Divine essence of Helios.

Black Eagle Rebellion
The Black Eagle Rebellion, otherwise known as the brother war, was a civil war that engulfed Valreach in its entirety, from Saafir to Asteri and beyond. Orchestrated by Garv Moreau Aulian, Matriarch of the remnants of House Moreau and Severus Dadlos, Patriarch of the Dadlos holdings and his sons, the outbreak of the civil war caused massive instability upon the realm. Severus claimed himself Emperor of all Valreach, denying the divine right of the sitting emperor, Yorg Moreau Aulian. The Black Eagle rebels managed to repulse an attack on Adlerhorst, seat of the false Emperor, in the first battle of Adlerhorst. The Black Eagles would again succeed in storming Eradios and humiliating the loyalists. The rebels, however would suffer massive blows during the second battle of Adlerhorst, where Severus would be mortally wounded alongside his son, Ioannes Dadlos, lord of Raghrena. It was in this battle, that Friedrich took up arms against the rebels and enemies of Helios. He pledged his sword to his ,oblivious, father, the Emperor and joined the ranks of the Loyalist forces. During the second battle of Adlerhorst, Friedrich himself claims to have wounded Severus and killed his son, but that claim has not been confirmed. It is certain, though, that it was Friedrich who managed to slaughter Severus, catching him fleeing Adlerhorst. Later on, he brought the traitors head before the Emperor's feet, and revealed his identity.

Revelation
The Emperor, fearful of another claimant to the throne, ordered him seized and gave out the order for his immediate execution. At that moment, Helios, appeared as a globe of fire and light, and in the voice only posessed by the Divine, he ordered The Emperor to release the youth at once, as he was his chosen champion of the faithful. Helios warned the Emperor, that if Friedrich was killed, Valreach would see doom and destruction. The emperor, in awe of the Firey essence of Helios, complied. At once was Friedrich released from his shackles, and the essence of Helios disappeared from view. No one dare speak, only looking at the youth who had just been protected by the all father in his Divine form. The Emperor, then lept from his throne and embraced Friedrich. For his service to the realm and people of Valreach, Friedrich would be given the old Dadlos holdings, including Adlerhorst which would become the capital of his holdings. Friedrich would be recognized as a true Prince of Valreach and entered the noble House Aulian.

The Hand of Solaris
It was not long, until Friedrich found himself back in the ruined city of Adlerhorst. The town was truly in a miserable state, due to the intense fighting of the civil war, and the attrocities comitted inside it by the tyrant Severus. The temple of Solaris was shattered, hit by a loyalist trebuchet that penetrated the roof and smashed into the altar. All other shrines in the city were equally damaged by the retreating Black Eagle forces, making their way back to Porthaven. Emperor Yorg, now having acclaimed Friedrich as his legitimate son, granted him governship of Adlerhorst, with the task of rebuilding all that had been demolished by the traitors. It was not long until Frierdich, having employed a group of labourers from the Ciosa holdings, got to work. He wished not to destroy everything Severus had built, as most of the buildings were beautiful and structurally sound, instead, to tame the anger pointed towards the Dadlos family, Friedrich demolished the first lordly residence of Adlerhorst, tore down the theater where the illegitimate coronation of Severus was performed, and closed down the Dadlos family palace that had surprisingly remained undamaged. With funds gathered by those who had donated to Friedrich from all around the realm, the young governor repaired all old aristrocratic and laymen housing as well as the horribly gutted church of Saint Konstantinos. Moving on down south, Frierdrich put an end to the construction of the Forum dedicated to the Arietis family, demolishing what little Severus had managed to build, and in its place he erected a theater, and, his masterpiece for Adlerhorst, The Catherdal of Solaris. Having discovered the forgotten Solen Mandate a while back, Frierdrich understood that there can only be one singular place of worship for the All-Father, and that was destined to be Adlerhorst, as per the sacred script.
