Player information
Robb Ludwig is played by TheFireKonaai and joined the server on the 27th of August 2021, he joined the Simulami Empire that day and has been a citizen ever since. Robb is primarily active on Rathnir but can be seen on Eldham on occasion.

Early life
Robb Saurral, who inherited his mothers family name as he never knew his father, was born and grew up in Müviel around the time of the unification of Order Müvielle and Floramia into the Simulami Empire. Raised by his single mother, Leonore Saurral, and grandfather, Richard Saurral, in a small home, he had a rather uneventful childhood. Both family members raised him to be respectfull and hard working to hopefully overcome the poverty that was haunting the family for multiple generations. He decided to abondon his surname at 14 years as he figured out that a surname only has influence if it's a well known one. As the Golden Age of Simulami was coming to an end and tensions were rising, Robb had a turbulent adulthood ahead of him.

Adolescence
Robb started gathering some money by taking over some of the building jobs his grandfather left behind when he died a few years ago. On the same day Robb turned 18, the tensions inside Simulami exploded and the Simulami Civil War started with ZenoHUN declaring a coup d'état. As he had never left the neighbourhood of Müviel, he naturally gravitated towards supporting ZenoHUN, who was the Mayor of Müviel. With the quick victory of ZenoHUN, Simulami was now being ruled by one Imperare who had lots of work to do. This led to him having to appoint a Co-Mayor for Müviel to lighten the load, which turned out to be Robb. This introduced him into the political environment of Simulami.

His family was never religious but one day he made the impulsive decision to be baptized after Maximelian Ludwig, a Soleviel priest, convinced him. Despite the age gap, it clicked between those two, fulfilling a gap in both of their lives. The priest was happy to find someone who was interested in his stories about Müviels history and the young adult found himself spending time with a father figure, which he never got to experience before. Maximelian told him about the secrets of Müviel, tales of Soleviel, his wife, two sons and more.

Political ladder
Determined to prove himself, he focused on the tasks which he knew he could handle: building, a talent that got passed down by his grandfather. Combined with his overall hard working personality and growing sphere of influence, he started to get some recognition outside Müviel and started building up connections.

The chain of command after the reforms for Robb was as follows:


 * 1) Imperare : ZenoHUN Maestro, Ruler of Simulami
 * 2) Royal Regent (of Rathnir): Harv Maestro, Heir to the Throne, loved by the people but better with swords than with words
 * 3) Governor (of Convellirae): Crazy King, a man easily underestimated based on looks, a man of many talents
 * 4) Mayor (of Müviel): Robb

While Crazy was doing an amazing job as a governor, Harv was struggling with the pressure and responsibilities of a royal regent and announced that he would step down. This slot was then soon filled by Crazy which in turn left a slot for governor open, which Robb picked up. Twice now had Robb earned a promotion by filling in a governmental gap.

In the next ~20 years he merged Müviel and Osundir and climbed up the Grand Imperial Army ranks to Guardsman.

Connections
On a personal level he was improving as well, making many friends in the Empire once he got his name out.

Close to Müviel, a city called Osundir was rapidly expanding under the leadership of Zbazan Duradenko, according to Robb, Zbazan showed great potential he and supplied the talented architect with materials for the city, starting a longlasting friendship. This would later lead to the unification of Müviel and Osundir.

His friendship with Maximelian Ludwig yielded even more friendships, including his two sons, Marus and Maxim II. After lots of conversations between Robb and Maxim II, the latter proposed to him in Nuvallen. He was now part of the noble House Ludwig and choose to wear the surname Ludwig from then on. Robb, who once made the decision to abandon his surname because it had no meaning, now wore a surname that transcended his area of influence.

House Ludwig
With a stable governmental position and a happy relationship, Robb voiced his desire for a child to his partner. Because biologically this was not possible, they turned to Solaris for answers. Miraculously, the couple was gifted a son of their blood, who they named Luke, as a reward for their faith. Any questions as to how this came to be were quickly deflected by the two parents.
