Increased the slave trade, making conditions worse resulting directly into the Alcanzar Slave Rebellion that killed Charles II. Established the Church of the Holy See.

His rule was characterised by its peacefulness and his refusal to work on anything related to governing. He is said to have signed only two pieces of legislation. For the first 9 years of his rule had his younger brother Gabriel Viromaro, the Warrior Prince, rule as Grand Chancellor. During his rule relations with Imperius were normalised after the Great Arms Race of Emperor Charles I, taxes were lowered, the Imperial Legion was formally established and the provinces gained vast amounts of autonomy.

Became fat due to immobility caused by his injuries.

Remarried 9 times. Fathered several bastards, resulting in the formation of three seperate noble houses, namely House Viroz, House Fuertera, House Rosa. Increased the slave trade, making conditions worse resulting directly into the Alcanzar Slave Rebellion that killed Charles II. Established the Church of the Holy See. Drowned in the gardens of Fort Summerhal. Three of his sons would be emperors, Charles II, Charles III (He had forgotten that he already had a son named Charles and no-one in the palace dared to correct him) and Alexander. At the end of Henry&#039;s reign he and his three sons were the last legitimate members of House Viromaro.&#039;&#039;    &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Prince Gabriel Viromaro inspecting the first troops of the Imperial Legion.jpg|thumb|Prince Gabriel Viromaro inspecting the first troops of the Imperial Legion]]&lt;br /&gt;
Prince Gabriel Richard Francis Viromaro, usually going by Gabriel Viromaro, was the younger brother of Emperor Philip Viromaro. He served as Grand Chancellor for ten years under his older brother, founding the Imperial Legion and maintaining peace and prosperity for the realm. He died in office during a joust.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Youth ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in the Imperial Palace of Helmira, the modern-day [[The Old Palace Baths|Old Palace Bath House]], the young prince studied Second Era Warfare at the University of Helmira. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike his 11 years older brother, Prince Gabriel was a warrior at heart. He served as an admiral in the newly established Mediori Fleet of his father, Emperor Charles I Viromaro. Upon his passing and the ascension of his brother,  Emperor Philip Viromaro, he worked together with his good friend Sir P.D. Agricola in forming the Imperial Legion, using his access to the Viromaro fortune to finance the organisation and serving as its first Admiral General.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Grand Chancellor Prince Gabriel.jpg|thumb|Grand Chancellor Prince Gabriel Viromaro]]&lt;br /&gt;

Prince Gabriel Richard Francis Viromaro, usually going by Gabriel Viromaro, was the younger brother of Emperor Philip Viromaro. He served as Grand Chancellor for ten years under his older brother, founding the Imperial Legion and maintaining peace and prosperity for the realm. He died in office during a joust.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Born in the Imperial Palace of Helmira, the modern-day [[The Old Palace Baths|Old Palace Bath House]], the young prince studied Second Era Warfare at the University of Helmira. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Career ==&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike his 11 years older brother, Prince Gabriel was a warrior at heart. He served as an admiral in the newly established Mediori Fleet of his father, Emperor Charles I Viromaro. Upon his passing and the ascension of his brother,  Emperor Philip Viromaro, he worked together with his good friend Sir P.D. Agricola in forming the Imperial Legion, using his access to the Viromaro fortune to finance the organisation and serving as its first Admiral General.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;When the Grand War ended, one of the terms of the peace treaty was that all Raggisari citizens who had been taken to the Kythiran Empire as prisoners of war, and whom had been sold into slavery, would be returned. Because in the Kythiran Kingdom of Alcanzar, the dominant slavers region of the Empire, most of the slaves had been sold and kept in extremely poor condititions. Many did not make it till the end of the war. Many still however did, but bore scars both physical and mental of their ordeals during their captivity. So to prevent them from returning home and telling stories of their maltreatment, the High Lord of Alcanzar ordered a secret operation which entailed the mass killings of the worst treated slaves, so that only those with relatively decent stories would return to tell their tales and Alcanzar would not become an international outcast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The operation, codenamed Operation Mercy, would consist of the formation of several transit camps, some real, some meant for the purpose of mass killings. The freed slaves would be send to large improvised camps, where they would be secretly selected on if they would or wouldn&#039;t return to Raggisar. Then they would be loaded into ships, which looked identical but some would travel to death camps whilst others departed for Raggisar.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;The Meeting at the Mediocre was the formal meeting between the Emperor of the Kythiran Empire and the King of Ardoragh in the Third Era. After weeks of negotiations, here, on the coast of the Mediori Sea, King Von Roterstein offered the ancient Crown of Redstonia, to the Kythiran Emperor Richard &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;The Great&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; I Viromaro, swearing fealty from now until the end of time. In exchange, the Emperor gave Von Roterstein a new crown, that of the High-Lord of Ardoragh, which would be his new role. The ancient crown of Redstonia was transported to Helmira to be kept in the White-Gold Tower. When after several centuries the Province of Ardoragh became the Kingdom of Ardoragh again, the High-Lord&#039;s title and crown&#039;s usage were continued. The Redstonian Crown was moved by Empress Theodosia from Helmira to the palacial complex of Ardor’s Lodge.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;Fort Norman is an old Kythiran island-stronghold in the Mediori Sea dating back to the Unification of Kythira in the Third Era. The island was originally inhabited by the Norman clan, who were defeated by the Alcanzari general Harlin Mablok. He conquered the island in a single night by setting a fire to the east of the island, and as the eastern winds blew, it scattered burning embers across the wooden settlement of the Normans. The inhabitants were shot with volleys of arrows as they fled from their burning homes. The Mablok’s constructed a small keep on the island, until the early Fourth Era when Emperor Charles I ordered the construction of the Mediori Fleet. To defend this new fleet, the imperial government ordered the construction of a grand fortress on the island. Financed by the Crown and built by Ardoraghi and Heartlanders.          &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Grand War the Mediori Fleet was considered to be basically safe in its home harbor, and so few troops were allocated to the fortress. When the Burning of the Mediori Fleet happened, the garrison’s sole boat was quickly sunk by the Republican forces, after which the defenders were stuck on their island, forced to watch as the Mediori fleet was burned down and the attackers escaped. A few ships were shot and sunk from the cannons on the castle’s walls, but this ultimately proved insufficient. Outraged, Prince Charles sailed to the castle, where he was received by Lord Ormur Mablok. He sentenced Lord Mablok to death, blaming him for the loss of the fleet. Lord Mablok defended himself, arguing that they did all they could. Prince Charles had Lord Mablok sailed out into the Mediori on a rowboat, and there, whilst his family was forced to watch from one of the towers, had him thrown into the sea weighted down by an anchor. His 10 year old son, Desmon Mablok, was named the new Lord of the Fortress. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Its official function is being the headquarters and main defense of the Mediori Fleet. The Viromaro family also used the fortress as a harbor for their royal yacht.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Fourth Era Emperor Alexander gave the fortress to the Lords of Mablok, who have continued to make it their duty to protect the Mediori Fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Grand War the Mediori Fleet was considered to be basically safe in its home harbor, and so few troops were allocated to the fortress. When the Burning of the Mediori Fleet happened, the garrison’s sole boat was quickly sunk by the Republican forces, after which the defenders were stuck on their island, forced to watch as the Mediori fleet was burned down and the attackers escaped. A few ships were shot and sunk from the cannons on the castle’s walls, but this ultimately proved insufficient. Outraged, Prince Charles sailed to the castle, where he was received by Lord Ormur Mablok. He sentenced Lord Mablok to death, blaming him for the loss of the fleet. Lord Mablok defended himself, arguing that they did all they could. Prince Charles had Lord Mablok sailed out into the Mediori on a rowboat, and there, whilst his family was forced to watch from one of the towers, had him thrown into the sea weighted down by an anchor. His 10 year old son, Desmon Mablok, was named the new Lord of the Fortress. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;The Kythiran Steam Ship Goliath is an large ocean liner created by the Kythiran Black Star Line in the early Fifth Era. It was made as a direct competitor to the RRS Regent owned by the Raggisari Fulton-Wallraf Line. It is much smaller than the 155 meter SS Regent, standing at only 94 meters in length. It is powered by six Imperian Paddle Wheels bought from the Raggisari post-war surplus, as well as two Marsadinian Propellers. All of these are however rather small, making the ship perpetually under powered according to her captains. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has twenty first class cabins with private balconies and king sized beds. Furthermore it has 18 Second Class cabins with 3 single beds each, making her total passenger capacity 94 people. There is a luxurious first class restaurant with large panoramic windows and a skylight, and directly next to it the second class dining hall. There are two covered promenades, and a sundeck with ample seating. Under the ship is a small underwater viewing port.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has a large bridge with controls for all eight engines, as well as a Datablock Industries Emergency SOS Signal. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are four small lifeboats hanging on the sides, as well as three lifeboats stationed on the decks themselves, and a large sailboat on the back of the ship, totaling eight lifeboats. According to Charles Bateau, the Director of the Kythiran Black Star Line, the ship is one of the safest in Minecraftia, and &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;although she is not the fastest, best armed nor most beautiful, she nonetheless excels in reliability.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

The Kythiran Empire is an empire, and one of two superpowers of [[Minecraftia]]. The largest empire in history, it stretches over four continents, [[The Continent of Terrantiq|Terrantiq]], [[The Continent of Ardoragh|Ardoragh]], [[Merceno]] and [[The Continent of Westeria|Westeria]]. It lays claim to several seas, namely the [[The Senfina Sea|Senfina Sea]], the [[Vestlig Sea]], the [[Mediori Sea]], the [[Southern Sea]], the [[Dødehavet Sea]], the [[Øyer Sea]], [[Lake Redondo]] and the [[Northern Sea]]. The rise of the Kythiran Empire began during the Third Era, after the [[Minecraftian Dark Ages]]. It played a major role in global events, including the formation of the [[Imperius|Imperius Reich]] and its actions during the Dervich Incident and following Victormare Incident were the catalyst for that nation&#039;s [[The Raggisar Revolution|revolution]] and consequent reform into the [[The Raggisar Republic|Raggisar Republic]].       &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[House Viromaro]] has ruled the Kythiran Empire, and its predecessor, the [[Kingdom of Kythira|Kingdom of Kythira,]] since its inception.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Empire has the largest population in Minecraftia according to the Fifth Era International Census. It has a great diversity in terms of cultures, ethnicities and languages. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wealth in the Empire is heavily concentrated into the nobility, with House Viromaro itself being the richest family in Minecraftian history, holding 20% of all of Florynts, the international currency. The Empire relies heavily on international trade, which is concentrated in the capital city of Helmira. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Grand War the Empire was the wealthiest nation in Minecraftia, and considered by many to be the most powerful. After the Grand War this international dynamic greatly changed. The reparations it was forced to pay to the Raggisar Republic, 840,000,000 Florynts in total, devastated the imperial treasury, forcing the Crown to ask the High-Lords of the wealthiest and largest provinces, Attica, Alcanzar and Ardoragh, to pay for the majority of the reparations. The High-Lords agreed, only if Emperor Louis enacted the Reforma Carta. This ultimately led to the Emperor being forced to abdicate in favour of his daughter, Theodosia Viromaro, whilst his oldest son and former heir-apparent, Prince Louis Viromaro, being forced to renounce his claim to the throne. Instead of listening to these demands, Charles stole 19 million Florynts in Viromaro gold from the Sansoucci Palace and fled to the Aqumis Republic.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As one of the stipulations of the [[Reforma Carta]] the Empire went from an absolute monarchy ruling over a collection of provinces, led by High-Lords to a constitutional monarchy consisting of six kingdoms united under the Kythiran banner.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The Kythiran Empire is a continuation of the Kingdom of Kythira, the first sovereign nation of Minecraftia, founded at the end of the First Era. Founded by Emperor Richard I &#039;&#039;The Great&#039;&#039; Viromaro, it emerged from the ashes of the Minecraftian Dark Ages, and throughout the reigns of him, his son Emperor Francis &#039;&#039;The Giant&#039;&#039; Viromaro and his grandson Emperor Henry II &#039;&#039;One-Eye&#039;&#039; Viromaro they conquered and united the Empire as it still stands today. His great-grandson, Emperor Richard II Viromaro, eventually signed the Treaty of the King&#039;s Keep with the Imperius Reich, they ushered in the end of the Third Era and the beginning of the long Fourth Era, a time of mostly peace across Minecraftia up until the closing days of the Fourth Era with the start of the Grand War.        &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the Grand War the Reforma Carta was passed, reforming the Six Provinces into Six Kingdoms, and changing the role of the Imperial family from absolute monarchs to constitutional monarchs.        &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Kingdoms==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Yrticil]] - City in Ardoragh with a river connecting it to the Dødehavet Sea, aside from Redstonia one of the most fortified cities in Kythira. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Government ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From its founding in the Third Era till the Reforma Carta at the start of the Fifth Era, the Kythiran Empire was an Absolute Monarchy consisting of an Emperor from House Viromaro, ruling over six provinces with the aid of appointed High-Lords, although some High-Lord positions were hereditary.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Reforma Carta however, the Kythiran Empire has been a Constitutional Monarchy, consisting of six kingdoms, each led by an individual Prince or Princess, united by The Crown, the Kythiran government.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The heart of the Empire is the Arcadia District of the imperial city of Helmira, still focused around the White-Gold Tower, the government headquarters, surrounded by several important government buildings, such as the interior and foreign ministries, the Imperial Council and the Kythiran Senate.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently the Head-of-state of the Kythiran Empire is Empress Theodosia Viromaro.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Foreign Policy==&lt;br /&gt;
Although the Kythiran Empire was instrumental in the foundation of the Imperius Reich, it has had numerous clashes with the Reich after it began to expand. Officially Kythira has always tried to uphold a policy of neutrality, and it hosted the first international peace council through the Embassy of Nations during the Second Era as the Kingdom of Kythira, and the formation of the Forum of Minecraftia during the Third Era.        &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intially, when Imperius only consisted of the small island of Dorwall, trade was seen as a way to keep the tiny island nation in good standing with the empire. With the great eastern expansion and eventual formation of the Imperius Reich however, this relationship became more about maintaining Kythiran dominance on the international stage. When the Imperius kaiser decided that he wanted a fleet to dominate the seas, a step in the direction of making Imperius the greater superpower, a member of [[Families|House Mace]], the second most powerful noble Imperius family, betrayed the Reich, informing the Kythiran government about the new secret navy Imperius was constructing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In response to this the Kythirans constructed the [[Mediori Fleet]], and international relations became strained as an arms race began between the two empires. Although early treaties dating back to the foundation of the state of Imperius prevented each power to directly declare war on the other, several conflicts still occurred that only served to escalate tensions between the empires. Although small progress was made, including the formation of the Aqumis Free State, incidents such as the [[Dervich Incident]] and the [[Victormare Incident]] created major political rifts. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today the Kythiran government has put a trade- and travel embargo on the Imperius Reich, though the [[ambassadors]] of both countries are still on their posts. The White-Gold Tower has made several appeals for negotiations between the empires, including holding a grand ball at the Kythiran royal summerhouse [[Summerhal|Fort Summerhal]] with the Imperius kaiser as the guest of honour, but none of these have been fruitful. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kythiran Empire, specifically the Emperor, has been a proponent of a [[Minecraftian Union]], where Kythira and Imperius would unite into one stronger peaceful entity. However, with the current tensions between the two empires most work on the cause of global unification has been postponed indefinitely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After years of unrest and skirmishes between the two global superpowers, we now live in a period of remarkable peace and cooperation. Trade flourishes between the empires, and war is becoming a distant memory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Internal Instability==&lt;br /&gt;
The White-Gold Tower has to this date been able to maintain the unity of the empire, primarily through diplomacy and use of the Imperial Kythiran Legion. Disagreements between the Emperor and Crown-Prince still sometimes occur over provincial borders, though this has lessened over the years. Anti-monarchist propaganda has been discovered in the Province of Camuria, suspected to be part of an outlawed organization called the “Neo Federation Workers Movement”, who wish to unite the Kythiran peasantry in order to overthrow the monarchy and establish a democratic republic in the empire’s state.                    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Scientific Developments==&lt;br /&gt;
The Empire&#039;s capital city, Helmira, used to be a international center of scientific development. This included research into the development of superweapons during the early Third Era, such as the legendary Imperial Shovel. The first powered manned flight in Minecraftia was also achieved by Kythiran scientists. However, in the Fourth Era Kythira has invested much less in scientific research and development, resulting in the city of Alralysva becoming the scientific capital of the Empire, funded primarily by the House Von Roterstein.                       &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Military==&lt;br /&gt;
The Kythiran Empire&#039;s military consists of several primary factions:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Golden Armies&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Each Golden Province, semi-autonomous provinces under the leadership of a High-Lord, has to maintain an armed force, which can be called upon by the Emperor in times of crisis. The Empire is filled with fortresses, armed towers and castles, available to be quickly manned.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Kythiran Imperial Legion&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The Imperial Legion has two primary purposes: Suppressing revolt and the protection of the royal family. Their headquarters is Bear Island in Camuria. However today it has fallen far behind in both technology, training and organization of even some Golden Armies, let alone the Imperius Reich.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Kythiran Navy&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Originally the Kythirans only had a small fleet of refitted Helmsdeep ships. During the Fourth Era, however, discontent members of the House of Mace, a noble Imperius family, provided intelligence to the Kythirans that the Kaiser of Imperius had begun the construction of a massive fleet. To counter this, the Kythirans began the secret construction of a new fleet, with the centrepiece being the [[Mediori Fleet]], which consists of 38 Modern large flagships, 24 Classic ships and 132 Mini-Submarines. This arms race eventually cooled down after the Dervich Incident.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Economy==&lt;br /&gt;
The economy of the Kythiran Empire is dictated by the [[Kythiran Florynt]] and the [[Mercenary Bank]], the international financial body of [[Minecraftia]]. The Empire used to have a flourishing trade with the Imperius Reich, but after several incidents, especially the Dervich Incident, this has dwindled to a neglectable number.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Crown Provinces:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The Crown Provinces are maintained through budgets set by the Crown, financed through the taxation of the Golden Provinces. The capital city of Helmira, located in the Crown Province of the Heartlands, holds a state-monopoly on trade with all foreign powers.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Golden Provinces:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The Golden Provinces used to have their own dedicated state-dictated industry, with the Province of Alcanzar hosting the Imperial Forestry Company and the Province of Camuria hosting the Imperial Mining Company. In truth, however, with the Province of Ardoragh being able to gain more and more power, these official state guidelines have been mostly abandoned.  &lt;br /&gt;
==Infrastructure==&lt;br /&gt;
Minecraftia&#039;s first large-scale infrastructure project was completed under the leadership of King Mercenary Hurdræber of Helmsdeep, and was a train connection between the Helmsdeep capital and Marsadini. During the Unification of Westeria, the Emperor of the Kythiran Empire ordered that his lands must be traversable. To this end, the world&#039;s first metro system was constructed, as well as new canals and tens of kilometres of road- and train networks.      &lt;br /&gt;
==Official Languages==&lt;br /&gt;
The Empire of Kythira has one official language, though it is two regional recognized languages.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Official Language:&#039;&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Low-Riverlandish&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;|&#039;&#039; Based on the English Language    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Recognized Regional Languages:&#039;&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Riverlandish&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;|&#039;&#039; Based on the Dutch Language  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Redstonian&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;|&#039;&#039; A mixture of Germanic and Nordic languages    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These three different languages are a legacy from the Second Era and the different nations and cultures across Westeria.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Imperial Family==&lt;br /&gt;
[[House Viromaro]], one of the Ancient Houses, have ruled the Kythiran Empire and her predecessor, the Kingdom of Kythira, since their founding. They are distantly related to House Von Dragestein, and members of House Viromaro have married over the centuries with numerous noble families from across Minecraftia. The current head of House Viromaro and thus also ruler of the Empire is Empress Theodosia Viromaro, who was crowned in the early Fifth Era when her father, Louis Viromaro, was forced to abdicate as part of the Reforma Carta.   &lt;br /&gt;
==Culture==&lt;br /&gt;
The Kythiran Empire, although since the Fifth Era a Constitutional Monarchy at the Imperial level, is still very much a feudal society. Society is separated into four primary social classes, of which it is generally expected that there is no substantial mingling in between classes. There are nuances in this however, which depend on the specific Kingdom one is living in.       &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These four social classes are the nobility, the gentry, the peasants and slaves. The last category are however legally considered property, and therefore are not considered citizens of the Empire.       &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Nobility:===&lt;br /&gt;
Within the entire Empire, the nobility are the only ones who can hold political power. They are by far the wealthiest class of citizens, and they are tasked, through a large system of delegated power, with ruling the Empire. It is illegal for members of the nobility to marry with any other social class. The only way one can become part of the nobility is to either be born into a noble family, or by being elevated to the class by the Emperor or one of the Empire&#039;s six Kings.         &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are several rules of etiquette that surround the Kythiran nobility. It is customary for any class below the nobility to bow when they speak to a noble citizen. They are to address them as &amp;quot;Your Grace&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Your Highness&amp;quot;. If a member of the nobility requests something from a member of a lower class, it is expected that this request is honoured. Failure to do so can be considered a criminal offence.           &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Gentry:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The gentry are a larger social class than the nobility, and are an important part of the Empire&#039;s economy. These are people, whose family originated from the peasant social class, but who managed to climb their way up towards wealth. Anyone with a personal account worth more than 35,000 Florynts in the Mercenary Bank are officially part of the Gentry.         &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Peasants:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The largest social class, these consists of the commoners of Kythira. They serve their local nobles, for instance in foresting, mining, farming or fighting for them. They have some legal rights, set in the Code Coetzee, but are usually not able to act on their rights. An excellent example of the Kythiran peasantry is the city of Marsadini, where mineworkers, employed by the Imperial Mining Company, reside in homes usually not larger than 4 by 4 meters.        &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;Slaves:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Minecraftia&#039;s native inhabitants. Usually referred to as &amp;quot;villagers&amp;quot;. Mostly eradicated through several genocides in order to free their villages for colonization by Kythirans, though some can still be found across the Empire, usually serving menial jobs. They have no legal rights nor protections.             &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Noble Houses==&lt;br /&gt;
Kythira, being ruled by an aristocratic class, has several noble houses amongst her citizens, the most important of these being the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;House Von Roterstein:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Though originally a royal house in the Second Era, House Von Roterstein today is the second most powerful noble house within the Empire of Kythira after the Imperial Family. After being knighted Knight of the Tower, Lord [[Whazajottom]], the former King of Redstonia, was elevated to the position of High-Lord of Ardoragh. Later he was bestowed with the title of Crown Prince of Kythira, meaning he is to seize power once the Emperor ceases or steps down from his service. This makes Whazajottom&#039;s full title Crown Prince Whazajottom of Kythira, High-Lord of Ardoragh and Knight of the Tower. His brother, Duke Corspin Von Roterstein, rules the city of Kreonix in High-Lord Whazajottom&#039;s name. High-Lord Whazajottom himself resides in his palace in the city of Alralysva, but due to his powerful position, he also has a residence in the Empire&#039;s capital of Helmira, namely the Ardoragh Palace. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;House Vinkhuys&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Riverlandish in origin, House Vinkhuys was the ruling house of the province of Alcanzar. The only surviving member of this noble house, High-Lord SillyJoey Vinkhuys ruled the well-defended but economically weak province from castle Verano in the city of Solleria, until his disappearance in the early Third Era. The Vinkhuys family was given their lordship by the Emperor as a reward for their services to the Riverlands, since they were the original founders of the Rebel Alliance during the Second Era.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;House Agricola:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
The House Agricola claim themselves to be related to Consul Republic, the founder of the short-lived Federation of Provinces in the Second Era. Today their last remaining member, though not being of true nobility, rules the Golden Province of Camuria in the absence of a High-Lord. This is Lord-Protector P. Decius Agricola. They were also a leading cause behind the re-militarization of the Kythiran Royal Guard, producing what we today know as the Imperial Legion. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;House Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
House Wolf is a young house, being elevated into nobility during the Fourth Era. They founded and were behind most of the construction of the City of Yrticil. The current head of the house, and ruler of the city in name of High-Lord Whazajottom is Duke WhiteWolfXD98. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;&#039;House Hjarta:&#039;&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Like House Wolf, House Hjarta is one of the youngest noble houses, being elevated into nobility during the Fourth Era. They are behind the construction of a massive palace, the largest the world has seen at that stage, in the middle of the Fjarthrond Forest. The current ruler of this house is Duchess Hartje.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

It was the largest and deadliest war in Minecraftian history, spanning over 8 years, ending with the dissolution  of the Imperius aristocracy, and the near disintegration of the Kythiran Empire, which was prevented by the Reforma Carta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pre-War Events ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Lotrican Genocide, the Dervich Incident and the resulting Treaty of Altojardin had greatly damaged the reputation of House Von Dragesteiner and the monarchy as a whole. The loss of territory had been an enormous scandal, filling even the pro-Dragestein newspapers of the reich. Riots broke loose in Imperia and across the reich, which the royal guards struggled to put down. General Von Wolfswald took control of the city of Eisenturm, locking the Count of Eisenturm in the city&#039;s dungeon, and declaring himself interim-president of the &#039;Imperius Republic&#039;. The Kaiser immediately demanded that Von Wolfswald would either surrender to the reich or execute himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the safety of the royal family, the Grand Marshal suggested they&#039;d travel to the royal palace deep in Imperius territory. As the carriage travelled through the forests of the Reich, it was suddenly ambushed by revolutionary soldiers. They shot the Grand Marshal as he tried to fight them off, and arrested the kaiser and his family, transporting them to a farm nearby. Here they were stripped of their valuables and locked in the basement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cause ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Kythirans did not want a republican government in charge. Preferring a monarch and a system more like their own, they immediately began preparations to restore order in Imperius, end the republic and return the Kaiser as the leader of the Reich, although with considerably less powers than before. The Kythirans hoped that, in return for helping the Kaiser regain his throne, they would be able to annex large swaths of territory of the Reich.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Start of the War ==&lt;br /&gt;
The uneasy months before the Grand War were spent with alleged naval exercises in the Mediori Sea. In reality this was a front to collect as many troops as possible from across the Empire. Eventually a force of 300,000 soldiers had gathered near the Mediori Sea, soldiers from across the Empire, though Alcanzar and Attica delivered the most troops. Meanwhile, Kythiran spies from the KIA infiltrated the Raggisar Navy, bribing several members of the Raggisari Senfina Fleet. In a cold and dark winter night, at 3:00 AM, these spies set fire to their ships, burning down several dozen of the fleet, whilst several Kythiran merchant vessels blew themselves up at harbours for the Senfina Fleet, blocking the exit to the seas. Though many of these traitors were caught, some managed to escape, and through their KIA contacts managed to get a new identity in the Empire. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Senfina Sea opened up, the invasion began. 300,000 Kythiran troops boarded onto the many ships of the Mediori Fleet and sailed east. Being able to ship around 3000 soldiers per crossing, the fleet began its first wartime excursion out into the Southern Sea. Part of the fleet went south-east, bringing Kythiran soldiers as far as the east coast of Imperius. The rest of the fleet went north, and split into two attacking forces. The first place to fall under Kythiran fire was the City of Chesterfield. Under heavy bombardement, and totally outnumbered and outgunned, the city watch quickly raised a white flag above their walls. The Kythirans had their first foothold in Imperius. Quickly, more ships began to ferry soldiers from the Mediori Fleet and unloading them in Chesterfield. At 5:00 AM, the Kythiran ambassador to Imperia presented the formal Declaration of War to the Raggisar president. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Fjellsoldat soldier who had survived this first attack however had managed to mount his horse, and began an exhausting ride across the entire Imperius western coast, warning all settlements and forts along his way about the incoming Kythiran invaders. Eventually, he confiscated a boat, and managed to reach and warn Dorwall about the incoming invaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Captain Fernando Cortez&#039;&#039; was the highest ranking officer of the Imperius Royal Navy present on Dorwall at the time, and he swiftly took action. Arresting all foreigners present in Dorwall at the time, most of whom traders from Kythira. These people were taken aboard a series of confiscated ships, together with all women and children of Dorwall, and evacuated north towards Imperia. All men still in Dorwall were brought to the docks, where they were rationed out the sparse amount of weapons and armour left in the trading city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the last ship with refugees left the island, the first Kythiran Imperial Navy warships could be seen arriving in the horizon. The makeshift battalion was no match for the Kythiran Navy, which acted relatively restrained compared to later years, killing only a dozen local soldiers, sending most towards Alcanzar as prisoners of war. Here, many would be sold off into slavery, with only a small portion of the original population of Dorwall returning after the war. The republican mayor of Dorwall would be hanged by the Kythirans.  Captain Cortez managed to escape his temporary jail in Dorwall, stealing a rowboat at night and managed to get to the Imperius mainland, where he would rendezvous with a Republican army under the command of &#039;&#039;Thomas &amp;quot;Cobblestone Wall&amp;quot; Jansohn&#039;&#039;. The very next day, to celebrate their victory, Emperor Louis Viromaro himself visited the island for 2 hours, congratulating the troops before returning back to Helmira. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The island itself became the a Kythiran stronghold in the Narrow Sea, being used as a vital port for transporting more troops into mainland Imperius. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Battle of the Northern Sea ==&lt;br /&gt;
When the Kythirans wanted to move their fleet further north, towards Imperia however, they were ambushed. First, a large field of sea mines were spread over the Redstonian Strait. The ships that managed to pass these fell under heavy fire from coastal batteries operated by troops warned by the Fjellsoldat soldier. Then, in the Northern Sea, the Kythiran Imperial Navy met most of the Raggisar Navy, and the largest sea battle in history unfolded, known as the &#039;&#039;Battle of the Northern Sea&#039;&#039;. Over the course of four days of continued fighting,  hundreds of ships and thousands of soldiers on both sides fell and sunk into the ice cold sea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This battle destroyed most of the Imperius Royal Navy and greatly crippled the Kythiran Imperial Navy. The remaining Kythiran ships, still under heavy bombardment from the batteries on the Raggisar coast, retreated back to Dorwall and Chesterfield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the 453 Kythiran ships that participated in the Battle, only 72 returned. Admiral Amedeo, who led the Kythiran Imperial Navy, send a letter to the White Gold Tower, requesting that the Province of Ardoragh would send its navy, one of the world&#039;s most advanced at the time, to aid in the war. Meanwhilst, with the sea no longer a viable route towards Imperia, the Kythirans began their full land invasion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Chaos in Imperia ==&lt;br /&gt;
In Imperia the news of the Kythiran invasion was causing mass chaos. The city guard struggled to contain the looting that occurred almost every night, with many citizens fleeing into the countryside. The government buildings were shut down, but the operation to evacuate the valuable inventories of these buildings was extremely slow to get off the ground due to the massive amount of bureaucracy by the city police. By the time the evacuation crew arrived, many artifacts, including a great many historic ones, had been looted. A week after the riots began, the Palace of the Dragons, the royal palace in Imperia, began to burn. Local firefighters managed to save much of the exterior of the building, but the majority of the interior was destroyed. The prevailing theory is that the palace itself had been looted, and the fire was a way to cover up any tracks of the theft. After the war one of the former crown jewels of the Von Dragesteiner dynasty ended up in the hands of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Republican Armies approaching from the east, and the Kythirans approaching from the west, the Monarchists leader, Senator Meyer, decided to abandon the capital and escape north, taking with them the remaining ships of the Imperius Royal Navy still present in Imperia. Due to their dwindling troops however, some of these ships had to be abandoned. Rather than leave them for the Republicans, they decided to scuttle them in Dragons Bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Groups of Republican fanatics stormed the Zitadellenturm, taking control of the armoury and becoming the Democratically Organised Council of Free and Equal Citizens of Imperius, or DOCFECI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grand Duke Wulfhere Von Dragestein, a nephew of the Kaiser who had stayed in the capital in his role as Commander of the City Guard, was arrested by the DOCFECI, tried and found guilty of being an &#039;Enemy of the Revolution&#039;, and publicly executed. This began a reign of terror, wherein the DOCFECI ruthlessly prosecuted anyone they suspected of having even the slightest Monarchist sympathies. This reign of terror, called the &#039;&#039;Month of Tears&#039;&#039;, only ended when the Republican army took control of the city. General Von Wolfswald used the Zitadellenturm as his temporary base of operations. From here, he commanded the Republican armies, which were fighting the Kythirans on the west, south and east, and the Monarchists in the north.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kythiran Advance ==&lt;br /&gt;
As General Von Wolfswald settled into Imperia, five Kythiran Armies were marching into Imperius.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group A, Operating from Dorwall, marched alongside Imperius&#039; second largest river, which led to the forests south of Imperia.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group B, Operating from Chesterfield, marched south towards the remains of the Duchy of Lotric.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group C, Operating from the Mediori Fleet, had landed on the eastern shore of Imperius, and was marching west, through lands that were flatter than the west coast, but covering a much longer distance, which was harder to supply.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group D, Operating from Marsadini, crossed the mountains to meet up with Army Group A from the south.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group E, Operating from Solleria, also marched to Lotric in order to meet up with Army Group B.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The numerically superior Republicans send eight army groups south to intercept Kythira&#039;s Army Group B and E. During the Battle of Lotric, the Republican Army faced a massive defeat, losing a total of seven army groups. This was because only two army groups had managed to reach Lotric at all, the others had been stalled by fighting with Monarchists armies under the command of Senator Meyer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Kythiran victory showed General Von Wolfswald that the civil war had to stop first, in order to reunite the armies of Imperius and fight the greater threat to their realm. To this end he invited Senator Meyer to Imperia, offering a full stalemate until the Kythirans were defeated, a full pardon for all who were fighting for the Monarchists cause after the war, and a position in the new Republican government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;Liberation&#039; of Lotric ==&lt;br /&gt;
As General Von Wolfswald set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whilst these negotiations were underway, Kythiran Army Group B and E had fully taken control of the Duchy of Lotric. Here, they treated the local populace kindly, offering them food and other supplies. Important Lotrican artifacts were carefully packaged and shipped to Helmira. Any Lotrican citizen who so desired also received the ability to move to the Kythiran Empire, where they would be able to gain full citizenship in any of the regions, an offer that a great many Lotricans took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was at this time that the Kythiran Crown Prince, Charles Viromaro, who had received the rank of Admiral of the Kythiran Imperial Navy, landed in Lotric for a surprise visit to the Kythiran troops. A mass parade was held through the old city ruins, and a week of celebrations were held for their &amp;quot;Liberation from Imperius oppression&amp;quot;. Crown Prince Charles was quoted in the Helmiran Times as saying &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;This is a glorious day, not just for our Empire, but for Minecraftia and indeed for justice. Finally House Mace has been avenged, and Lotric is free.&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Great March ==&lt;br /&gt;
After the celebrations, the Kythiran armies focused on taking the midlands of Imperius through a combined attack. At this point morale in Imperius had fallen massively in the civilian population after their armies had suffered loss after loss. This caused many cities and towns to surrender to the Kythirans without a fight. Those places that did fight back were met with great acts of brutality, hoping to squash any rebellion. Any city, town or village that surrendered without a fight was spared, although the occasional looting did happen. If a city resisted and after that fell, the Kythirans responded by publicly executing all &amp;quot;Men of fighting age&amp;quot;, whilst sending at least half of the remaining population back to Solleria, where they were sold on the Alcanzari slave markets. If there were not enough ships in a harbour at any time to transport all the new prisoners, the remaining Imperians were simply dumped into the cold seas and kicked back when trying to get back to land. Learning of the atrocities committed against their countrymen caused a flood of refugees that was yet another drain for the already struggling supply chains of the Republican forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point the Republican and Monarchist forces had fully united under the shared command of General Von Wolfswald and Senator Meyer. This, together with the massive mountain ranges that spread across Imperius and the start of winter, caused the Kythiran march to slowly grind to a halt. Grand Marshal Agricola and Grand Admiral Amedeo personally travelled to Helmira to convince the Emperor that his latest order that &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;No Kythiran shall retreat.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; would be retracted in favour of allowing for tactical retreats. The Emperor however rejected this, and almost had the two commanders arrested on the spot for high-treason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Disgruntled, both commanders returned to the front. On their journey, the &#039;&#039;H.M.S. LeGrave,&#039;&#039; which was carrying Grand Marshal Agricola was attacked and sunk by an Imperius battle-cruiser submarine. This caused his deputy, Alfredo Castillo to be promoted to the role of Grand Marshal. Castillo had risen through the ranks of the Imperial Legion fully based on his merit, rather than his heritage, which was how Grand Marshal Agricola had received his rank. Grand Admiral Amedeo wrote in his diary: &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Although Lord Agricola was a good man, and a brave soldier, he was not the shiniest of diamonds. It may be harsh, but I think his dying was the best tactical move he could&#039;ve done for winning the war.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grand Marshal Castillo ordered the Kythiran armies to dig in for the winter, developing a series of trenches and temporary forts from where they could defend themselves against the continued attacks by the Republicans. Admiral Charles Viromaro, against the council of the other admirals, ordered a new attack on Imperia. His fleet was however mostly decimated before it could even arrive near Imperia, for the foggy and dark winter Northern Sea made traversing the fields of ice near impossible. He managed to make it back to Dorwall, where he was attacked whilst walking near the docks. The attackers were never found, and the young prince was send to a field hospital where he would spend several weeks recovering. Suspecting a mutiny resulted in the Emperor ordering the execution of over two hundred random sailors from Charles&#039; fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the winter made way for spring, the Kythirans left their fortifications, slowly trying to advance further into Republican territory. At this point the Kythirans controlled around 30% of Imperius territory. Within this land, a massive propaganda campaign was being held, with the goal of convincing the local population that the Kythirans were only there to restore the Dragestein monarchy and that Von Wolfswald and Meyer were traitors to Imperius. Some Imperians believed in this so much that they volunteered to fight with the Kythirans. These peoples were organised into the Dragestein Battalion, which soon became one of the most brutal but effective part of the Imperial Legion. They struck deep into Republican controlled territory, performing raids, heists and assassinations of Republican targets. Their commander, Anton Fritzi, had served in the Fjellsoldat but had been thrown into prison after stealing from the village bakery he was stationed at. The arrival of the Kythiran Legion in his town turned out to be his salvation, as the Kythirans freed him, after which he offered his services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As summer came around, the Kythirans finally managed to break the deadlock, marching deeper into the Republican territories, until they eventually controlled around 60% of Imperius lands. Crown Prince Charles, having fully recovered, landed his new fleet on the southern Imperius coast with the intention of meeting up with Army Group E. This succeeded, and the two armies marched north together, during which the prince tried but failed to take full command of the army group. As they marched over the Battenberg, they marched straight into an Republican army that was two times as large as the Kythiran army group. Attempting to retreat, they ran straight into a piercing manoeuvre by General Von Wolfswald. During this Battle of the Battenberg, the entire Kythiran Army Group E was lost. The commander, General Pendragon, killed himself before he could be captured. Crown Prince Charles Viromaro was captured alive and send to Imperia as a war trophy. Here he stayed for a total of three months, until winter eventually came, and the armies fell into another stalemate. This caused a massive drop in morale, that resulted in a wide spread retreat across all lines, until only about 25% of Imperius territory was still held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Grand Chancellor eventually managed to negotiate a prisoner swap with General Von Wolfswald and Senator Meyer. 40,000 Imperians who had been sold into slavery in Alcanzar were bought back by the Crown, and the Kythirans let it be known that all those people would either be freed together with the Crown Prince, or all slain. Von Wolfswald was forced to agree, and the freed slaves were send to Republican controlled Imperius territory, in exchange for the return of Charles Viromaro. The Crown Prince was welcomed back to Helmira with a series of parades, but the celebrations were short lived, as the remnants of the Imperius Royal Navy managed to suddenly and unexpectedly attack Marsadini. Although they only looted and burned down a portion of the city they&lt;br /&gt;

It was the largest and deadliest war in Minecraftian history, spanning over 8 years, ending with the dissolution  of the Imperius aristocracy, and the near disintegration of the Kythiran Empire, which was prevented by the Reforma Carta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pre-War Events ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Lotrican Genocide, the Dervich Incident and the resulting Treaty of Altojardin had greatly damaged the reputation of House Von Dragesteiner and the monarchy as a whole. The loss of territory had been an enormous scandal, filling even the pro-Dragestein newspapers of the reich. Riots broke loose in Imperia and across the reich, which the royal guards struggled to put down. General Von Wolfswald took control of the city of Eisenturm, locking the Count of Eisenturm in the city&#039;s dungeon, and declaring himself interim-president of the &#039;Imperius Republic&#039;. The Kaiser immediately demanded that Von Wolfswald would either surrender to the reich or execute himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the safety of the royal family, the Grand Marshal suggested they&#039;d travel to the royal palace deep in Imperius territory. As the carriage travelled through the forests of the Reich, it was suddenly ambushed by revolutionary soldiers. They shot the Grand Marshal as he tried to fight them off, and arrested the kaiser and his family, transporting them to a farm nearby. Here they were stripped of their valuables and locked in the basement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cause ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Kythirans did not want a republican government in charge. Preferring a monarch and a system more like their own, they immediately began preparations to restore order in Imperius, end the republic and return the Kaiser as the leader of the Reich, although with considerably less powers than before. The Kythirans hoped that, in return for helping the Kaiser regain his throne, they would be able to annex large swaths of territory of the Reich.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Start of the War ==&lt;br /&gt;
The uneasy months before the Grand War were spent with alleged naval exercises in the Mediori Sea. In reality this was a front to collect as many troops as possible from across the Empire. Eventually a force of 300,000 soldiers had gathered near the Mediori Sea, soldiers from across the Empire, though Alcanzar and Attica delivered the most troops. Meanwhile, Kythiran spies from the KIA infiltrated the Raggisar Navy, bribing several members of the Raggisari Senfina Fleet. In a cold and dark winter night, at 3:00 AM, these spies set fire to their ships, burning down several dozen of the fleet, whilst several Kythiran merchant vessels blew themselves up at harbours for the Senfina Fleet, blocking the exit to the seas. Though many of these traitors were caught, some managed to escape, and through their KIA contacts managed to get a new identity in the Empire. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Senfina Sea opened up, the invasion began. 300,000 Kythiran troops boarded onto the many ships of the Mediori Fleet and sailed east. Being able to ship around 3000 soldiers per crossing, the fleet began its first wartime excursion out into the Southern Sea. Part of the fleet went south-east, bringing Kythiran soldiers as far as the east coast of Imperius. The rest of the fleet went north, and split into two attacking forces. The first place to fall under Kythiran fire was the City of Chesterfield. Under heavy bombardement, and totally outnumbered and outgunned, the city watch quickly raised a white flag above their walls. The Kythirans had their first foothold in Imperius. Quickly, more ships began to ferry soldiers from the Mediori Fleet and unloading them in Chesterfield. At 5:00 AM, the Kythiran ambassador to Imperia presented the formal Declaration of War to the Raggisar president. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Fjellsoldat soldier who had survived this first attack however had managed to mount his horse, and began an exhausting ride across the entire Imperius western coast, warning all settlements and forts along his way about the incoming Kythiran invaders. Eventually, he confiscated a boat, and managed to reach and warn Dorwall about the incoming invaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Captain Fernando Cortez&#039;&#039; was the highest ranking officer of the Imperius Royal Navy present on Dorwall at the time, and he swiftly took action. Arresting all foreigners present in Dorwall at the time, most of whom traders from Kythira. These people were taken aboard a series of confiscated ships, together with all women and children of Dorwall, and evacuated north towards Imperia. All men still in Dorwall were brought to the docks, where they were rationed out the sparse amount of weapons and armour left in the trading city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the last ship with refugees left the island, the first Kythiran Imperial Navy warships could be seen arriving in the horizon. The makeshift battalion was no match for the Kythiran Navy, which acted relatively restrained compared to later years, killing only a dozen local soldiers, sending most towards Alcanzar as prisoners of war. Here, many would be sold off into slavery, with only a small portion of the original population of Dorwall returning after the war. The republican mayor of Dorwall would be hanged by the Kythirans.  Captain Cortez managed to escape his temporary jail in Dorwall, stealing a rowboat at night and managed to get to the Imperius mainland, where he would rendezvous with a Republican army under the command of &#039;&#039;Thomas &amp;quot;Cobblestone Wall&amp;quot; Jansohn&#039;&#039;. The very next day, to celebrate their victory, Emperor Louis Viromaro himself visited the island for 2 hours, congratulating the troops before returning back to Helmira. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The island itself became the a Kythiran stronghold in the Narrow Sea, being used as a vital port for transporting more troops into mainland Imperius. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Battle of the Northern Sea ==&lt;br /&gt;
When the Kythirans wanted to move their fleet further north, towards Imperia however, they were ambushed. First, a large field of sea mines were spread over the Redstonian Strait. The ships that managed to pass these fell under heavy fire from coastal batteries operated by troops warned by the Fjellsoldat soldier. Then, in the Northern Sea, the Kythiran Imperial Navy met most of the Raggisar Navy, and the largest sea battle in history unfolded, known as the &#039;&#039;Battle of the Northern Sea&#039;&#039;. Over the course of four days of continued fighting,  hundreds of ships and thousands of soldiers on both sides fell and sunk into the ice cold sea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This battle destroyed most of the Imperius Royal Navy and greatly crippled the Kythiran Imperial Navy. The remaining Kythiran ships, still under heavy bombardment from the batteries on the Raggisar coast, retreated back to Dorwall and Chesterfield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the 453 Kythiran ships that participated in the Battle, only 72 returned. Admiral Amedeo, who led the Kythiran Imperial Navy, send a letter to the White Gold Tower, requesting that the Province of Ardoragh would send its navy, one of the world&#039;s most advanced at the time, to aid in the war. Meanwhilst, with the sea no longer a viable route towards Imperia, the Kythirans began their full land invasion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Chaos in Imperia ==&lt;br /&gt;
In Imperia the news of the Kythiran invasion was causing mass chaos. The city guard struggled to contain the looting that occurred almost every night, with many citizens fleeing into the countryside. The government buildings were shut down, but the operation to evacuate the valuable inventories of these buildings was extremely slow to get off the ground due to the massive amount of bureaucracy by the city police. By the time the evacuation crew arrived, many artifacts, including a great many historic ones, had been looted. A week after the riots began, the Palace of the Dragons, the royal palace in Imperia, began to burn. Local firefighters managed to save much of the exterior of the building, but the majority of the interior was destroyed. The prevailing theory is that the palace itself had been looted, and the fire was a way to cover up any tracks of the theft. After the war one of the former crown jewels of the Von Dragesteiner dynasty ended up in the hands of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Republican Armies approaching from the east, and the Kythirans approaching from the west, the Monarchists leader, Senator Meyer, decided to abandon the capital and escape north, taking with them the remaining ships of the Imperius Royal Navy still present in Imperia. Due to their dwindling troops however, some of these ships had to be abandoned. Rather than leave them for the Republicans, they decided to scuttle them in Dragons Bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Groups of Republican fanatics stormed the Zitadellenturm, taking control of the armoury and becoming the Democratically Organised Council of Free and Equal Citizens of Imperius, or DOCFECI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grand Duke Wulfhere Von Dragestein, a nephew of the Kaiser who had stayed in the capital in his role as Commander of the City Guard, was arrested by the DOCFECI, tried and found guilty of being an &#039;Enemy of the Revolution&#039;, and publicly executed. This began a reign of terror, wherein the DOCFECI ruthlessly prosecuted anyone they suspected of having even the slightest Monarchist sympathies. This reign of terror, called the &#039;&#039;Month of Tears&#039;&#039;, only ended when the Republican army took control of the city. General Von Wolfswald used the Zitadellenturm as his temporary base of operations. From here, he commanded the Republican armies, which were fighting the Kythirans on the west, south and east, and the Monarchists in the north.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kythiran Advance ==&lt;br /&gt;
As General Von Wolfswald settled into Imperia, five Kythiran Armies were marching into Imperius.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group A, Operating from Dorwall, marched alongside Imperius&#039; second largest river, which led to the forests south of Imperia.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group B, Operating from Chesterfield, marched south towards the remains of the Duchy of Lotric.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group C, Operating from the Mediori Fleet, had landed on the eastern shore of Imperius, and was marching west, through lands that were flatter than the west coast, but covering a much longer distance, which was harder to supply.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group D, Operating from Marsadini, crossed the mountains to meet up with Army Group A from the south.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group E, Operating from Solleria, also marched to Lotric in order to meet up with Army Group B.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The numerically superior Republicans send eight army groups south to intercept Kythira&#039;s Army Group B and E. During the Battle of Lotric, the Republican Army faced a massive defeat, losing a total of seven army groups. This was because only two army groups had managed to reach Lotric at all, the others had been stalled by fighting with Monarchists armies under the command of Senator Meyer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Kythiran victory showed General Von Wolfswald that the civil war had to stop first, in order to reunite the armies of Imperius and fight the greater threat to their realm. To this end he invited Senator Meyer to Imperia, offering a full stalemate until the Kythirans were defeated, a full pardon for all who were fighting for the Monarchists cause after the war, and a position in the new Republican government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;Liberation&#039; of Lotric ==&lt;br /&gt;
As General Von Wolfswald set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whilst these negotiations were underway, Kythiran Army Group B and E had fully taken control of the Duchy of Lotric. Here, they treated the local populace kindly, offering them food and other supplies. Important Lotrican artifacts were carefully packaged and shipped to Helmira. Any Lotrican citizen who so desired also received the ability to move to the Kythiran Empire, where they would be able to gain full citizenship in any of the regions, an offer that a great many Lotricans took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was at this time that the Kythiran Crown Prince, Charles Viromaro, who had received the rank of Admiral of the Kythiran Imperial Navy, landed in Lotric for a surprise visit to the Kythiran troops. A mass parade was held through the old city ruins, and a week of celebrations were held for their &amp;quot;Liberation from Imperius oppression&amp;quot;. Crown Prince Charles was quoted in the Helmiran Times as saying &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;This is a glorious day, not just for our Empire, but for Minecraftia and indeed for justice. Finally House Mace has been avenged, and Lotric is free.&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Great March ==&lt;br /&gt;
After the celebrations, the Kythiran armies focused on taking the midlands of Imperius through a combined attack. At this point morale in Imperius had fallen massively in the civilian population after their armies had suffered loss after loss. This caused many cities and towns to surrender to the Kythirans without a fight. Those places that did fight back were met with great acts of brutality, hoping to squash any rebellion. Any city, town or village that surrendered without a fight was spared, although the occasional looting did happen. If a city resisted and after that fell, the Kythirans responded by publicly executing all &amp;quot;Men of fighting age&amp;quot;, whilst sending at least half of the remaining population back to Solleria, where they were sold on the Alcanzari slave markets. If there were not enough ships in a harbour at any time to transport all the new prisoners, the remaining Imperians were simply dumped into the cold seas and kicked back when trying to get back to land. Learning of the atrocities committed against their countrymen caused a flood of refugees that was yet another drain for the already struggling supply chains of the Republican forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point the Republican and Monarchist forces had fully united under the shared command of General Von Wolfswald and Senator Meyer. This, together with the massive mountain ranges that spread across Imperius and the start of winter, caused the Kythiran march to slowly grind to a halt. Grand Marshal Agricola and Grand Admiral Amedeo personally travelled to Helmira to convince the Emperor that his latest order that &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;No Kythiran shall retreat.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; would be retracted in favour of allowing for tactical retreats. The Emperor however rejected this, and almost had the two commanders arrested on the spot for high-treason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Disgruntled, both commanders returned to the front. On their journey, the &#039;&#039;H.M.S. LeGrave,&#039;&#039; which was carrying Grand Marshal Agricola was attacked and sunk by an Imperius battle-cruiser submarine. This caused his deputy, Alfredo Castillo to be promoted to the role of Grand Marshal. Castillo had risen through the ranks of the Imperial Legion fully based on his merit, rather than his heritage, which was how Grand Marshal Agricola had received his rank. Grand Admiral Amedeo wrote in his diary: &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Although Lord Agricola was a good man, and a brave soldier, he was not the shiniest of diamonds. It may be harsh, but I think his dying was the best tactical move he could&#039;ve done for winning the war.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grand Marshal Castillo ordered the Kythiran armies to dig in for the winter, developing a series of trenches and temporary forts from where they could defend themselves against the continued attacks by the Republicans. Admiral Charles Viromaro, against the council of the other admirals, ordered a new attack on Imperia. His fleet was however mostly decimated before it could even arrive near Imperia, for the foggy and dark winter Northern Sea made traversing the fields of ice near impossible. He managed to make it back to Dorwall, where he was attacked whilst walking near the docks. The attackers were never found, and the young prince was send to a field hospital where he would spend several weeks recovering. Suspecting a mutiny resulted in the Emperor ordering the execution of over two hundred random sailors from Charles&#039; fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the winter made way for spring, the Kythirans left their fortifications, slowly trying to advance further into Republican territory. At this point the Kythirans controlled around 30% of Imperius territory. Within this land, a massive propaganda campaign was being held, with the goal of convincing the local population that the Kythirans were only there to restore the Dragestein monarchy and that Von Wolfswald and Meyer were traitors to Imperius. Some Imperians believed in this so much that they volunteered to fight with the Kythirans. These peoples were organised into the Dragestein Battalion, which soon became one of the most brutal but effective part of the Imperial Legion. They struck deep into Republican controlled territory, performing raids, heists and assassinations of Republican targets. Their commander, Anton Fritzi, had served in the Fjellsoldat but had been thrown into prison after stealing from the village bakery he was stationed at. The arrival of the Kythiran Legion in his town turned out to be his salvation, as the Kythirans freed him, after which he offered his services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As summer came around, the Kythirans finally managed to break the deadlock, marching deeper into the Republican territories, until they eventually controlled around 60% of Imperius lands. Crown Prince Charles, having fully recovered, landed his new fleet on the southern Imperius coast with the intention of meeting up with Army Group E. This succeeded, and the two armies marched north together, during which the prince tried but failed to take full command of the army group. As they marched over the Battenberg, they marched straight into an Republican army that was two times as large as the Kythiran army group. Attempting to retreat, they ran straight into a piercing manoeuvre by General Von Wolfswald. During this Battle of the Battenberg, the entire Kythiran Army Group E was lost. The commander, General Pendragon, killed himself before he could be captured. Crown Prince Charles Viromaro was captured alive and send to Imperia as a war trophy. Here he stayed for a total of three months, until winter eventually came, and the armies fell into another stalemate. This caused a massive drop in morale, that resulted in a wide spread retreat across all lines, until only about 25% of Imperius territory was still held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Grand Chancellor eventually managed to negotiate a prisoner swap with General Von Wolfswald and Senator Meyer. 40,000 Imperians who had been sold into slavery in Alcanzar were bought back by the Crown, and the Kythirans let it be known that all those people would either be freed together with the Crown Prince, or all slain. Von Wolfswald was forced to agree, and the freed slaves were send to Republican controlled Imperius territory, in exchange for the return of Charles Viromaro. The Crown Prince was welcomed back to Helmira with a series of parades, but the celebrations were short lived, as the remnants of the Imperius Royal Navy managed to suddenly and unexpectedly attack Marsadini. Although they only looted and burned down a portion of the city they&lt;br /&gt;

It was the largest and deadliest war in Minecraftian history, spanning over 8 years, ending with the dissolution  of the Imperius aristocracy, and the near disintegration of the Kythiran Empire, which was prevented by the Reforma Carta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pre-War Events ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Lotrican Genocide, the Dervich Incident and the resulting Treaty of Altojardin had greatly damaged the reputation of House Von Dragesteiner and the monarchy as a whole. The loss of territory had been an enormous scandal, filling even the pro-Dragestein newspapers of the reich. Riots broke loose in Imperia and across the reich, which the royal guards struggled to put down. General Von Wolfswald took control of the city of Eisenturm, locking the Count of Eisenturm in the city&#039;s dungeon, and declaring himself interim-president of the &#039;Imperius Republic&#039;. The Kaiser immediately demanded that Von Wolfswald would either surrender to the reich or execute himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the safety of the royal family, the Grand Marshal suggested they&#039;d travel to the royal palace deep in Imperius territory. As the carriage travelled through the forests of the Reich, it was suddenly ambushed by revolutionary soldiers. They shot the Grand Marshal as he tried to fight them off, and arrested the kaiser and his family, transporting them to a farm nearby. Here they were stripped of their valuables and locked in the basement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cause ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Kythirans did not want a republican government in charge. Preferring a monarch and a system more like their own, they immediately began preparations to restore order in Imperius, end the republic and return the Kaiser as the leader of the Reich, although with considerably less powers than before. The Kythirans hoped that, in return for helping the Kaiser regain his throne, they would be able to annex large swaths of territory of the Reich.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Start of the War ==&lt;br /&gt;
The uneasy months before the Grand War were spent with alleged naval exercises in the Mediori Sea. In reality this was a front to collect as many troops as possible from across the Empire. Eventually a force of 300,000 soldiers had gathered near the Mediori Sea, soldiers from across the Empire, though Alcanzar and Attica delivered the most troops. Meanwhile, Kythiran spies from the KIA infiltrated the Raggisar Navy, bribing several members of the Raggisari Senfina Fleet. In a cold and dark winter night, at 3:00 AM, these spies set fire to their ships, burning down several dozen of the fleet, whilst several Kythiran merchant vessels blew themselves up at harbours for the Senfina Fleet, blocking the exit to the seas. Though many of these traitors were caught, some managed to escape, and through their KIA contacts managed to get a new identity in the Empire. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Senfina Sea opened up, the invasion began. 300,000 Kythiran troops boarded onto the many ships of the Mediori Fleet and sailed east. Being able to ship around 3000 soldiers per crossing, the fleet began its first wartime excursion out into the Southern Sea. Part of the fleet went south-east, bringing Kythiran soldiers as far as the east coast of Imperius. The rest of the fleet went north, and split into two attacking forces. The first place to fall under Kythiran fire was the City of Chesterfield. Under heavy bombardement, and totally outnumbered and outgunned, the city watch quickly raised a white flag above their walls. The Kythirans had their first foothold in Imperius. Quickly, more ships began to ferry soldiers from the Mediori Fleet and unloading them in Chesterfield. At 5:00 AM, the Kythiran ambassador to Imperia presented the formal Declaration of War to the Raggisar president. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Fjellsoldat soldier who had survived this first attack however had managed to mount his horse, and began an exhausting ride across the entire Imperius western coast, warning all settlements and forts along his way about the incoming Kythiran invaders. Eventually, he confiscated a boat, and managed to reach and warn Dorwall about the incoming invaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Captain Fernando Cortez&#039;&#039; was the highest ranking officer of the Imperius Royal Navy present on Dorwall at the time, and he swiftly took action. Arresting all foreigners present in Dorwall at the time, most of whom traders from Kythira. These people were taken aboard a series of confiscated ships, together with all women and children of Dorwall, and evacuated north towards Imperia. All men still in Dorwall were brought to the docks, where they were rationed out the sparse amount of weapons and armour left in the trading city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the last ship with refugees left the island, the first Kythiran Imperial Navy warships could be seen arriving in the horizon. The makeshift battalion was no match for the Kythiran Navy, which acted relatively restrained compared to later years, killing only a dozen local soldiers, sending most towards Alcanzar as prisoners of war. Here, many would be sold off into slavery, with only a small portion of the original population of Dorwall returning after the war. The republican mayor of Dorwall would be hanged by the Kythirans.  Captain Cortez managed to escape his temporary jail in Dorwall, stealing a rowboat at night and managed to get to the Imperius mainland, where he would rendezvous with a Republican army under the command of &#039;&#039;Thomas &amp;quot;Cobblestone Wall&amp;quot; Jansohn&#039;&#039;. The very next day, to celebrate their victory, Emperor Louis Viromaro himself visited the island for 2 hours, congratulating the troops before returning back to Helmira. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The island itself became the a Kythiran stronghold in the Narrow Sea, being used as a vital port for transporting more troops into mainland Imperius. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Battle of the Northern Sea ==&lt;br /&gt;
When the Kythirans wanted to move their fleet further north, towards Imperia however, they were ambushed. First, a large field of sea mines were spread over the Redstonian Strait. The ships that managed to pass these fell under heavy fire from coastal batteries operated by troops warned by the Fjellsoldat soldier. Then, in the Northern Sea, the Kythiran Imperial Navy met most of the Raggisar Navy, and the largest sea battle in history unfolded, known as the &#039;&#039;Battle of the Northern Sea&#039;&#039;. Over the course of four days of continued fighting,  hundreds of ships and thousands of soldiers on both sides fell and sunk into the ice cold sea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This battle destroyed most of the Imperius Royal Navy and greatly crippled the Kythiran Imperial Navy. The remaining Kythiran ships, still under heavy bombardment from the batteries on the Raggisar coast, retreated back to Dorwall and Chesterfield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the 453 Kythiran ships that participated in the Battle, only 72 returned. Admiral Amedeo, who led the Kythiran Imperial Navy, send a letter to the White Gold Tower, requesting that the Province of Ardoragh would send its navy, one of the world&#039;s most advanced at the time, to aid in the war. Meanwhilst, with the sea no longer a viable route towards Imperia, the Kythirans began their full land invasion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Chaos in Imperia ==&lt;br /&gt;
In Imperia the news of the Kythiran invasion was causing mass chaos. The city guard struggled to contain the looting that occurred almost every night, with many citizens fleeing into the countryside. The government buildings were shut down, but the operation to evacuate the valuable inventories of these buildings was extremely slow to get off the ground due to the massive amount of bureaucracy by the city police. By the time the evacuation crew arrived, many artifacts, including a great many historic ones, had been looted. A week after the riots began, the Palace of the Dragons, the royal palace in Imperia, began to burn. Local firefighters managed to save much of the exterior of the building, but the majority of the interior was destroyed. The prevailing theory is that the palace itself had been looted, and the fire was a way to cover up any tracks of the theft. After the war one of the former crown jewels of the Von Dragesteiner dynasty ended up in the hands of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Republican Armies approaching from the east, and the Kythirans approaching from the west, the Monarchists leader, Senator Meyer, decided to abandon the capital and escape north, taking with them the remaining ships of the Imperius Royal Navy still present in Imperia. Due to their dwindling troops however, some of these ships had to be abandoned. Rather than leave them for the Republicans, they decided to scuttle them in Dragons Bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Groups of Republican fanatics stormed the Zitadellenturm, taking control of the armoury and becoming the Democratically Organised Council of Free and Equal Citizens of Imperius, or DOCFECI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grand Duke Wulfhere Von Dragestein, a nephew of the Kaiser who had stayed in the capital in his role as Commander of the City Guard, was arrested by the DOCFECI, tried and found guilty of being an &#039;Enemy of the Revolution&#039;, and publicly executed. This began a reign of terror, wherein the DOCFECI ruthlessly prosecuted anyone they suspected of having even the slightest Monarchist sympathies. This reign of terror, called the &#039;&#039;Month of Tears&#039;&#039;, only ended when the Republican army took control of the city. General Von Wolfswald used the Zitadellenturm as his temporary base of operations. From here, he commanded the Republican armies, which were fighting the Kythirans on the west, south and east, and the Monarchists in the north.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kythiran Advance ==&lt;br /&gt;
As General Von Wolfswald settled into Imperia, five Kythiran Armies were marching into Imperius.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group A, Operating from Dorwall, marched alongside Imperius&#039; second largest river, which led to the forests south of Imperia.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group B, Operating from Chesterfield, marched south towards the remains of the Duchy of Lotric.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group C, Operating from the Mediori Fleet, had landed on the eastern shore of Imperius, and was marching west, through lands that were flatter than the west coast, but covering a much longer distance, which was harder to supply.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group D, Operating from Marsadini, crossed the mountains to meet up with Army Group A from the south.&lt;br /&gt;
* Army Group E, Operating from Solleria, also marched to Lotric in order to meet up with Army Group B.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The numerically superior Republicans send eight army groups south to intercept Kythira&#039;s Army Group B and E. During the Battle of Lotric, the Republican Army faced a massive defeat, losing a total of seven army groups. This was because only two army groups had managed to reach Lotric at all, the others had been stalled by fighting with Monarchists armies under the command of Senator Meyer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Kythiran victory showed General Von Wolfswald that the civil war had to stop first, in order to reunite the armies of Imperius and fight the greater threat to their realm. To this end he invited Senator Meyer to Imperia, offering a full stalemate until the Kythirans were defeated, a full pardon for all who were fighting for the Monarchists cause after the war, and a position in the new Republican government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== &#039;Liberation&#039; of Lotric ==&lt;br /&gt;
As General Von Wolfswald set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whilst these negotiations were underway, Kythiran Army Group B and E had fully taken control of the Duchy of Lotric. Here, they treated the local populace kindly, offering them food and other supplies. Important Lotrican artifacts were carefully packaged and shipped to Helmira. Any Lotrican citizen who so desired also received the ability to move to the Kythiran Empire, where they would be able to gain full citizenship in any of the regions, an offer that a great many Lotricans took.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was at this time that the Kythiran Crown Prince, Charles Viromaro, who had received the rank of Admiral of the Kythiran Imperial Navy, landed in Lotric for a surprise visit to the Kythiran troops. A mass parade was held through the old city ruins, and a week of celebrations were held for their &amp;quot;Liberation from Imperius oppression&amp;quot;. Crown Prince Charles was quoted in the Helmiran Times as saying &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;This is a glorious day, not just for our Empire, but for Minecraftia and indeed for justice. Finally House Mace has been avenged, and Lotric is free.&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Great March ==&lt;br /&gt;
After the celebrations, the Kythiran armies focused on taking the midlands of Imperius through a combined attack. At this point morale in Imperius had fallen massively in the civilian population after their armies had suffered loss after loss. This caused many cities and towns to surrender to the Kythirans without a fight. Those places that did fight back were met with great acts of brutality, hoping to squash any rebellion. Any city, town or village that surrendered without a fight was spared, although the occasional looting did happen. If a city resisted and after that fell, the Kythirans responded by publicly executing all &amp;quot;Men of fighting age&amp;quot;, whilst sending at least half of the remaining population back to Solleria, where they were sold on the Alcanzari slave markets. If there were not enough ships in a harbour at any time to transport all the new prisoners, the remaining Imperians were simply dumped into the cold seas and kicked back when trying to get back to land. Learning of the atrocities committed against their countrymen caused a flood of refugees that was yet another drain for the already struggling supply chains of the Republican forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point the Republican and Monarchist forces had fully united under the shared command of General Von Wolfswald and Senator Meyer. This, together with the massive mountain ranges that spread across Imperius and the start of winter, caused the Kythiran march to slowly grind to a halt. Grand Marshal Agricola and Grand Admiral Amedeo personally travelled to Helmira to convince the Emperor that his latest order that &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;No Kythiran shall retreat.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; would be retracted in favour of allowing for tactical retreats. The Emperor however rejected this, and almost had the two commanders arrested on the spot for high-treason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Disgruntled, both commanders returned to the front. On their journey, the &#039;&#039;H.M.S. LeGrave,&#039;&#039; which was carrying Grand Marshal Agricola was attacked and sunk by an Imperius battle-cruiser submarine. This caused his deputy, Alfredo Castillo to be promoted to the role of Grand Marshal. Castillo had risen through the ranks of the Imperial Legion fully based on his merit, rather than his heritage, which was how Grand Marshal Agricola had received his rank. Grand Admiral Amedeo wrote in his diary: &#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Although Lord Agricola was a good man, and a brave soldier, he was not the shiniest of diamonds. It may be harsh, but I think his dying was the best tactical move he could&#039;ve done for winning the war.&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grand Marshal Castillo ordered the Kythiran armies to dig in for the winter, developing a series of trenches and temporary forts from where they could defend themselves against the continued attacks by the Republicans. Admiral Charles Viromaro, against the council of the other admirals, ordered a new attack on Imperia. His fleet was however mostly decimated before it could even arrive near Imperia, for the foggy and dark winter Northern Sea made traversing the fields of ice near impossible. He managed to make it back to Dorwall, where he was attacked whilst walking near the docks. The attackers were never found, and the young prince was send to a field hospital where he would spend several weeks recovering. Suspecting a mutiny resulted in the Emperor ordering the execution of over two hundred random sailors from Charles&#039; fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the winter made way for spring, the Kythirans left their fortifications, slowly trying to advance further into Republican territory. At this point the Kythirans controlled around 30% of Imperius territory. Within this land, a massive propaganda campaign was being held, with the goal of convincing the local population that the Kythirans were only there to restore the Dragestein monarchy and that Von Wolfswald and Meyer were traitors to Imperius. Some Imperians believed in this so much that they volunteered to fight with the Kythirans. These peoples were organised into the Dragestein Battalion, which soon became one of the most brutal but effective part of the Imperial Legion. They struck deep into Republican controlled territory, performing raids, heists and assassinations of Republican targets. Their commander, Anton Fritzi, had served in the Fjellsoldat but had been thrown into prison after stealing from the village bakery he was stationed at. The arrival of the Kythiran Legion in his town turned out to be his salvation, as the Kythirans freed him, after which he offered his services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As summer came around, the Kythirans finally managed to break the deadlock, marching deeper into the Republican territories, until they eventually controlled around 60% of Imperius lands. Crown Prince Charles, having fully recovered, landed his new fleet on the southern Imperius coast with the intention of meeting up with Army Group E. This succeeded, and the two armies marched north together, during which the prince tried but failed to take full command of the army group. As they marched over the Battenberg, they marched straight into an Republican army that was two times as large as the Kythiran army group. Attempting to retreat, they ran straight into a piercing manoeuvre by General Von Wolfswald. During this Battle of the Battenberg, the entire Kythiran Army Group E was lost. The commander, General Pendragon, killed himself before he could be captured. Crown Prince Charles Viromaro was captured alive and send to Imperia as a war trophy. Here he stayed for a total of three months, until winter eventually came, and the armies fell into another stalemate. This caused a massive drop in morale, that resulted in a wide spread retreat across all lines, until only about 25% of Imperius territory was still held.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Grand Chancellor eventually managed to negotiate a prisoner swap with General Von Wolfswald and Senator Meyer. 40,000 Imperians who had been sold into slavery in Alcanzar were bought back by the Crown, and the Kythirans let it be known that all those people would either be freed together with the Crown Prince, or all slain. Von Wolfswald was forced to agree, and the freed slaves were send to Republican controlled Imperius territory, in exchange for the return of Charles Viromaro. The Crown Prince was welcomed back to Helmira with a series of parades, but the celebrations were short lived, as the remnants of the Imperius Royal Navy managed to suddenly and unexpectedly attack Marsadini. Although they only looted and burned down a portion of the city they&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Helmira, officially &#039;&#039;The Eternal Imperial Capital of the Kythiran Empire, Helmira,&#039;&#039; formerly known as Kythira and Helmsdeep, is the oldest and largest city in the whole of Minecraftia by both population and surface area. Colloquially it is known as the &#039;&#039;City of Lights&#039;&#039;, the &#039;&#039;Eternal City,&#039;&#039; the &#039;&#039;City of Palaces&#039;&#039;, the &#039;&#039;Imperial City&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;City of Blocks&#039;&#039;. In some parts of the [[Ardoragh|Kingdom of Ardoragh]] it is also referred to as the &#039;&#039;White City&#039;&#039;. The metropolis is located on the coast of the Narrow Sea, in the Kythiran [[Kingdom of Attica|Kingdom of the Heartlands]].     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city was formally founded by H.I.H. Emperor Richard I &#039;&#039;The Great&#039;&#039; Viromaro in the Third Era, although much of the old city has existed since the late First and early Second Era as capitals of the Kingdoms of Kythira and Helmsia respectively. Historically and culturally the conquest and subsequent unification of those two cities have been seen as the birth of the Kythiran Empire.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city has been a global center of finance, culture, diplomacy, commerce, architecture and gastronomy. It is the seat of the [[White Gold Tower|White-Gold Tower]], making it the heart of the Empire&#039;s government. The Kythiran Imperial family, [[House Viromaro]], live their lives predominantly in the city.              &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city, the size of which matches and exceeds some kingdoms, is sometimes described as the Seventh Kingdom of the Empire. It is governed by the Lord Mayor, who is aided by a council of The Twelve Lords. The Helmiran Imperial Police is tasked with policing the city as well as protecting it against foreign threats.               &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The great wealth of this melting pot attracts people from all walks of life, from the highest nobility to the lowest of pickpockets.                &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-Unification ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the closing days of the First Era, the city of Kythira was founded, though at the time nothing more than a couple of stone houses, a tower, market place and royal home. As time went on, it expanded. During the very early Second Era, the city of Helmsia was founded south of Kythira. A valley lay in between the two small kingdoms. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Minecraftian Dark Ages ===&lt;br /&gt;
During the Dark Age the remnants of both war-torn cities were looted by warlords and peasants alike. The Helmsian Theatre Society was one of the few groups that stayed in the ruins of the city of Helmsia, performing small plays in the open air and keeping many historical tales alive through oral traditions.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Third and Fourth Era ===&lt;br /&gt;
During the aforementioned&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Helmira during the Grand War ===&lt;br /&gt;
Helmira was formally put under a State of Siege by the Lord-Mayor after the declaration of war was made public. This resulted in Whiteharbour closing all trade with the Raggisar Republic, although trade with the Aqumis Republic was maintained. As these convoys were attacked by the remnants of the Raggisar navy, this was eventually limited to a handful of ships a month. The Kythiran High-Command asked the Lord-Mayor numerous times to allow the Imperial Navy and Imperial Legion to use Helmira as a base of operations, from where to cross the Senfina Sea, but this was always rejected by the City Council out of fear of repercussions. They did allow a single army of the Imperial Legion to stay within the city, but only as an extra security force, manning the walls and coastal defences. As the war dragged on, the city took on a great many refugees from the Raggisar Republic, these mostly being wealthy former aristocrats and their entourages.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Culture ==&lt;br /&gt;
Helmira is, in a way, still two cities in one. Although the topographic divide has been almost completely wiped out through years of urban planning, her economic and social divides still linger. The classes of society seen throughout the Empire are all well represented here, with the city&#039;s wealthiest upper crust, who usually made their fortunes through inheritance, the trade in goods or the trade in slaves, and a select few through smuggling, try to attach themselves to Kythira&#039;s nobility in order to win political influence. The rest of the city&#039;s population is a mixture of middle and lower class families. The middle class often working for the government or one of the many trading companies headquartered in the city. The lower classes usually work in menial jobs, such as members of staff in the many mansions and estates across the city.               &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The one thing that unites all these different groups is culture, often in the form of (musical) theatre. [[The Imperial Helmsian Theatre Society]], the oldest of its kind, has been producing plays non-stop since the early Second Era, surviving the Great Grief and the Dark Ages in more-or-less the same shape. Droves of people from all walks of life and from all across the Empire and beyond still come to Helmira to be entertained at one of her many theatres, enjoying the finest opera, simple stage plays or great symphonies.                              &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Great artists have and continue to reside in Helmira for centuries, from painters to poets.                               &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Helmiran Governance ==&lt;br /&gt;
Helmira is the only city in the Empire classified as a Free City. This makes it that, although it is part of the Kingdom of the Heartlands, it is not beholden to its laws and jurisdiction. Furthermore, although the Crown resides in the city, it too has relatively little influence on the city&#039;s governance. Instead, the city is ruled by a democratically elected Lord-Mayor once every fifteen years. Together with the so-called Twelve Lords (Officially Lords XII) he forms the city council. The Imperial Helmiran Police is in charge of policing the city.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Six Districts ==&lt;br /&gt;
Helmira is divided into six distinct districts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Arcadia ===&lt;br /&gt;
Military, government etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Old Town ===&lt;br /&gt;

=== Whiteharbour ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ardor&#039;s Lodge is the palacial hunting lodge of House Viromaro located in north western Ardoragh. It was constructed by order of Emperor Alexander Viromaro as a hunting lodge. His sons the crown-prince Amantis and prince Louis (the future Emperor Louis) were born in the palace and spend most of their childhoods on the palace&#039;s grounds. Emperor Louis never used the palace, during which time it fell into disrepair. His daughter, Empress Theodosia, restored the palace to its former glory and uses it whenever she wishes to visit northern Ardoragh.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Palace ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Palace consists of a domed grand hall, with two wings, the Imperial Wing and the Guest Wing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Imperial Wing houses the Emperor&#039;s study, bedroom, breakfast room and living room, as well as a room for the imperial children, an indoor swimming pool and a model train room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Guest Wing houses a Honey Room, grand dining hall, three guest rooms (The Yellow Room, the Green Room and the Raggisar Room (former Dragestein Room)), as well as a large kitchen, storage room and room for the 10-men permanent Imperial Legion Guard. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are two attics, indoor stables and one large basement including an emergency jail cell. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The palace, like &#039;t Koetshuys, is characterized by thick walls and several heat sources including central heating and a great many fireplaces to ensure a high quality of life in the harsh Ardoraghi winters. On top of the palace, &#039;t Koetshuys and the church are bells that ring once whenever it turns either day or night.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== The Grounds ==&lt;br /&gt;
There are several features across the grounds of the palace. These are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &#039;t Koetshuys ===&lt;br /&gt;
Largest building on the grounds outside of the palace itself. Has a residence for the groundskeeper of the estate, which is a comfortable home, consisting of an entrance hall, dining room, living room, office, master bedroom and guestroom. It also has a guestroom. Attached to the residence are the royal stables, characterized by its size and the massive fireplace used to keep it warm. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Amantis House ===&lt;br /&gt;
A large and comfortable manor, originally build by Emperor Alexander as a place for his oldest son and heir, crown prince Amantis, to stay with his family whenever he would visit his father. After the deaths of Alexander and Amantis the house stood empty, like much of the estate during the reign of Emperor Louis. Only when Louis returned in the last years of the Grand War did he have the home renovated. Empress Theodosia meanwhilst had the home remodeled into a guest house for when the palace&#039;s guest rooms alone were not enough. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Imperial Garden ===&lt;br /&gt;
Symmetrical gardens with water features, flowers, trees and a large obelisk, fountain and reflecting pool, as well as an identical copy of the lion statue found on Fort Winterhal in Helmira. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Temple of Music ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Empress Theodosia with stick.jpg|thumb|Empress Theodosia Viromaro holding the Dragon Staff, one of the former crown jewels of the Imperius Reich]]&lt;br /&gt;
Empress Theodosia E.I.P. Viromaro is the current head of state of the [[Empire of Kythira|Kythiran Empire]]. She has ruled since the start of the Fifth Era, ever since her father, the former [[Emperor Louis Viromaro]], was forced to abdicate in favour of her by the [[Reforma Carta]], following the Empire&#039;s defeat during the [[Grand War]]. Her rule has been characterised by mending relations with the [[The Raggisar Republic|Raggisar Republic]], increasing public support of House Viromaro, and improving relations between the six kingdoms and The Crown. Her full formal title and name is: &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Her Imperial Highness Theodosia Eloise Isadora Prisca of House Viromaro, Empress of all Kythirans, High-Queen of Attica, High-Queen of Ardoragh, High-Queen of Alcanzar, High-Queen of Camuria, High-Queen of the Heartlands and High-Queen of Redstonia, Grand Duchess of Helmira, Grand-Duchess of Oldspawn, Grand-Duchess of Montcour, Grand-Admiral of the Imperial Navy, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Legion&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Youth ==&lt;br /&gt;
Princess Theodosia Viromaro was born in the in the late Fourth Era in Fort Winterhal. She grew up in the Imperial Palace in Helmira. Once her younger brother, Prince Charles Viromaro was born two years later, it was assumed she would be married off in the future but would serve no further role in government. She studied medicine at both the Imperial University in Helmira, after which she moved to Ardoria, against her father&#039;s wishes, to study at Ardoria University. She was known as a hardworking, quiet student, who often used her vast Viromaro allowance of 32,000 Florynts a week to help the local poor of Ardoria. In the weekends she was a frequent guest of [[House Hjarta|Lady Hjarta]], using her access to the Viromaro fortune to help support her efforts of conserving Ardoragh&#039;s rich nature reserves. When not at the Hjarta Palace she would live in the Skaði Palace.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Kythiran Invasion of Imperius began, she and her brother, Crown-Prince Charles Viromaro, were ordered by their father to join the war effort. Charles was promoted to Admiral, and was put in charge of the Second Attican Fleet. Theodosia was send to Imperius, serving as a nurse in Dorwall and Chesterfield. After the assassination of her mother, Empress Prisca Viromaro, she was rushed to Helmira, where she took up residence in the Villa Altojardin, under constant protection by the Imperial Guard.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ascension to Power ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Theodosia.jpg|thumb|Empress Theodosia Viromaro after her coronation|261x261px]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Reforma Carta suddenly brought Princess Theodosia back into the forefront. Article X stated: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;(...) &#039;&#039;the Emperor must abdicate his throne in favour of his first-born child, Princess Theodosia Viromaro.&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Chancellor immediately took Theodosia under his guidance. Within 48 hours after the signing of the Reforma Carta, Emperor Louis Viromaro had signed his formal abdication. Three days after Theodosia was crowned Empress, in a sober coronation ceremony in the White-Gold Tower.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her younger brother, Prince Charles Viromaro, was not present at the coronation, for he was using the event as a distraction to steal a part of the Viromaro fortune hidden in the Sanssouci Palace, after which he went into a self-imposed exile as a pretender to the Kythiran throne, refusing to acknowledge his sister&#039;s legitimacy. Her father was banned from the coronation, although he was present in Helmira at the time. At the recommendation of the Chancellor she banned her father from entering Helmira a week after her coronation, forcing him to live further away from the center of imperial power. Her brother was formally stripped of his titles, last name, bank accounts and property within the Empire, and an arrest warrant was issued for him being captured alive. A reward for this was set at 6.25 million Florynts. The KIA was ordered to find and neutralise any supporters of Charles, after lord Edward Blanchard attempted to run for public office on a restoration of Charles to the throne. This movement, the so called Charlesians, were swiftly made illegal and went underground.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Life as Empress ==&lt;br /&gt;
In the first four years since the start of her reign, Princess Theodosia, now 30 years old, has spend most of her rule on restoring the Pax Minecraftia and faith in House Viromaro. Due to her dedication to her job she usually resides in the White-Gold Tower&#039;s Imperial Appartement. She uses the Imperial Palace mostly for state functions, and occasionally travels to Ardor&#039;s Lodge in Ardoragh to visit Lady Hjarta. One of her first acts as Empress was to establish the The Viromaro Foundation, in order to both atone for her family&#039;s role in the Grand War and to improve the public image of House Viromaro. She is a supporter of the abolitionist philosopher Edmund Arouet, and is a firm supporter of the new Constitutional Monarchy. She has close ties with her Grand Chancellor, Lord Hawthorne, and her Imperial Secretary, Bernhard Magrak. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Private Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
During her father&#039;s reign Theodosia was briefly betrothed to Alistair Castillo, son of Grand Marshal Alfredo Castillo. This was arranged by her father, and was undone by imperial decree after she was crowned Empress. She has had several suitors since. The former Crown Prince of Imperius unsuccessfully tried to seduce her at a ball in Helmira. During the birthday celebrations of the Ardoraghi High-Lord Von Roterstein he privately offered his oldest son&#039;s hand in marriage, which she also declined. This lack of an heir is a great concern for many in the imperial court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Theodosia&#039;s has a close friendship with Anna Fillefort, a peasant-born from Dorwall. Anna, who was made a Duchess and appointed as a general consul to Theodosia, often travels with the Empress, usually staying in the guest suite of the White-Gold Tower&#039;s Imperial Apartment. At times she has acted as a deputy of sorts.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
== Life as Empress ==&lt;br /&gt;
In the first four years since the start of her reign, Princess Theodosia, now 30 years old, has spend most of her rule on restoring the Pax Minecraftia and faith in House Viromaro. Due to her dedication to her job she usually resides in the White-Gold Tower&#039;s Imperial Appartement. She uses the Imperial Palace mostly for state functions, and occasionally travels to Ardor&#039;s Lodge in Ardoragh to visit Lady Hjarta. One of her first acts as Empress was to establish the The Viromaro Foundation, in order to both atone for her family&#039;s role in the Grand War and to improve the public image of House Viromaro. She is a supporter of the abolitionist philosopher Edmund Arouet, and is a firm supporter of the new Constitutional Monarchy. She has close ties with her Grand Chancellor, Lord Hawthorne, and her Imperial Secretary, Bernhard Magrak. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Private Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
During her father&#039;s reign Theodosia was briefly betrothed to Alistair Castillo, son of Grand Marshal Alfredo Castillo. This was arranged by her father, and was undone by imperial decree after she was crowned Empress. She has had several suitors since. The former Crown Prince of Imperius unsuccessfully tried to seduce her at a ball in Helmira. During the birthday celebrations of the Ardoraghi High-Lord Von Roterstein he privately offered his oldest son&#039;s hand in marriage, which she also declined. This lack of an heir is a great concern for many in the imperial court. Theodosia&#039;s very close friendship with Anna Fillefort, a peasant-born from Dorwall, has caused rumours to spread around the upper classes of the Empire. Anne, who was made a Duchess and appointed as a general consul to Theodosia, is often with the Empress, usually staying in the guest suite of the White-Gold Tower&#039;s Imperial Appartement.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Empress Theodosia with stick.jpg|thumb|Empress Theodosia Viromaro holding the Dragon Staff, one of the former crown jewels of the Imperius Reich]]&lt;br /&gt;
Empress Theodosia E.I.P. Viromaro is the current head of state of the [[Empire of Kythira|Kythiran Empire]]. She has ruled since the start of the Fifth Era, ever since her father, the former [[Emperor Louis Viromaro]], was forced to abdicate in favour of her by the [[Reforma Carta]], following the Empire&#039;s defeat during the [[Grand War]]. Her rule has been characterised by mending relations with the [[The Raggisar Republic|Raggisar Republic]], increasing public support of House Viromaro, and improving relations between the six kingdoms and The Crown. Her full formal title and name is: &amp;quot;&#039;&#039;Her Imperial Highness Theodosia Eloise Isadora Prisca of House Viromaro, Empress of all Kythirans, High-Queen of Attica, High-Queen of Ardoragh, High-Queen of Alcanzar, High-Queen of Camuria, High-Queen of the Heartlands and High-Queen of Redstonia, Grand Duchess of Helmira, Grand-Duchess of Oldspawn, Grand-Admiral of the Imperial Navy, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Legion&amp;quot;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Youth ==&lt;br /&gt;
Princess Theodosia Viromaro was born in the in the late Fourth Era in Fort Winterhal. She grew up in the Imperial Palace in Helmira. Once her younger brother, Prince Charles Viromaro was born two years later, it was assumed she would be married off in the future but would serve no further role in government. She studied medicine at both the Imperial University in Helmira, after which she moved to Ardoria, against her father&#039;s wishes, to study at Ardoria University. She was known as a hardworking, quiet student, who often used her vast Viromaro allowance of 32,000 Florynts a week to help the local poor of Ardoria. In the weekends she was a frequent guest of [[House Hjarta|Lady Hjarta]], using her access to the Viromaro fortune to help support her efforts of conserving Ardoragh&#039;s rich nature reserves. When not at the Hjarta Palace she would live in the Skaði Palace.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Kythiran Invasion of Imperius began, she and her brother, Crown-Prince Charles Viromaro, were ordered by their father to join the war effort. Charles was promoted to Admiral, and was put in charge of the Second Attican Fleet. Theodosia was send to Imperius, serving as a nurse in Dorwall and Chesterfield. After the assassination of her mother, Empress Prisca Viromaro, she was rushed to Helmira, where she took up residence in the Villa Altojardin, under constant protection by the Imperial Guard.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Ascension to Power ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Theodosia.jpg|thumb|Empress Theodosia Viromaro after her coronation|261x261px]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Reforma Carta suddenly brought Princess Theodosia back into the forefront. Article X stated: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;(...) &#039;&#039;the Emperor must abdicate his throne in favour of his first-born child, Princess Theodosia Viromaro.&amp;quot;.&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Chancellor immediately took Theodosia under his guidance. Within 48 hours after the signing of the Reforma Carta, Emperor Louis Viromaro had signed his formal abdication. Three days after Theodosia was crowned Empress, in a sober coronation ceremony in the White-Gold Tower.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her younger brother, Prince Charles Viromaro, was not present at the coronation, for he was using the event as a distraction to steal a part of the Viromaro fortune hidden in the Sanssouci Palace, after which he went into a self-imposed exile as a pretender to the Kythiran throne, refusing to acknowledge his sister&#039;s legitimacy. Her father was banned from the coronation, although he was present in Helmira at the time. At the recommendation of the Chancellor she banned her father from entering Helmira a week after her coronation, forcing him to live further away from the center of imperial power. Her brother was formally stripped of his titles, last name, bank accounts and property within the Empire, and an arrest warrant was issued for him being captured alive.

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Chateau Roterhal.jpg|thumb|484x484px|Chateau Roterhal]]&lt;br /&gt;
Chateau Roterhal is a Third Era castle that was expanded by Prince Marcus von Roterstein. Upon his kidnapping and death it was inherited by the Knights of Shackleford. They ultimately sold it for 260,000 Florynts to a Oldspawn based realtor. His goal with the castle is unknown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Chateau Roterhal began as a single guard tower, originating from the Imperius Reich, and, once sold for scrap, purchased by an Attican businessman and shipped over to northern Attica. Here, near the village of Calys, he had it reassembled together with a small castle around it, naming it Chateau Imperia. After the businessman&#039;s death the chateau fell into neglect, until it was purchased in the late Fourth Era by Marcus von Roterstein, nephew of the Ardoraghi High-Lord, for 150,000 Florynts. He renovated and expanded the castle for an additional 50,000 Florynts, renaming the new property the Chateau Roterhal. In the early Fifth Era Marcus was kidnapped and presumed killed during a visit to Alcanzar. After some legal battles between his butler and House Von Roterstein the Chateau ultimately went to the butler&#039;s family, the butler himself having died in a Ardoraghi prison, who sold it for 260,000 Florynts and moved east to the new Raggisar Republic. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new owners of the castle and lands, the AAA-Realty Group, have not disclosed what they intend to do with the property.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Emperor Louis never used the palace, during which time it fell into disrepair. His daughter, Empress Theodosia, restored the palace to its former glory and uses it whenever she wishes to visit northern Ardoragh. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[File:Prince Marcus Von Roterstein.jpg|thumb|Prince Marcus Von Roterstein]]&lt;br /&gt;
Prince Marcus W.L. Von Roterstein was a member of the Ardoraghi royal family during the late Fourth and early Fifth Era. He was the son of the youngest brother of the current High-Lord and King of Ardoragh and the third in line for the Ardoraghi throne. He is best known for his brutal kidnapping and murder in the Fifth Era by unknown assailants.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
Born as Lord Marcus Von Roterstein in Ardoria, the young lord studied law, earning his bachelor degree at the Imperial University of Ardoria, and getting his master degree at the Imperial University of Helmira. For most of his life he lived in a manor house in Helmira, from where he practices law. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the late Fourth Era, just before the Grand War, he got into conflict with his uncle when he published a paper accusing the Ardoraghi Duke Ulv of facilitating piracy in the Dodehavet Sea in a vast scheme by the Ardoraghi nobility to avoid paying the increasingly high taxes to then-Emperor Louis Viromaro. He was recalled to Ardoria, where after staying at the High-Lord&#039;s castle for five months he formally renounced his earlier accusations after his father met with the High-Lord. Although facing no official legal repercussions he was no longer allowed to practice law in the province of Ardoragh following this what has been usually referred to as the Piracy Papers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Reforma Carta reformed the Province of Ardoragh into the Kingdom of Ardoragh, the Von Roterstein family gained the official status of one the Kythiran royal houses. Ever since his full name and title is His Royal Highness Marcus Whaza Leonard Von Roterstein, Prince of Ardoragh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the death of his father two years after the Reforma Carta he inherited a small fortune of 800,000 Florynts. With this, he purchased the ruin of a Third Era castle, Chateau Imperia, deep in northern Attica for 150,000 Florynts, including a massive area of land around it, with a total surface area larger than many cities. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chateau Roterhal.jpg|thumb|408x408px|Chateau Roterhal was expanded by Marcus]]&lt;br /&gt;
He spend another 50,000 Florynts renovating the castle, as well as expanding the living spaces, building an extra tower and a grand hall. He renamed his new summer house &#039;&#039;&#039;Chateau Roterhal&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;nowiki/&amp;gt;&#039;, or simply known by the local villagers as &#039;&#039;The Roterhal&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the renovation project he had to fight off several poachers and loggers who were taking from the castle’s lands. This caused him to become interested in preservation of Kythira’s vast nature reserves, and he donated 100,000 Florynts to the Hjarta Foundation. Shocked by the treatment of several slaves owned by the company that renovated the castle, 15 of which died during the construction of the grand hall alone, the prince became a staunch abolitionist, pouring another 150,000 Florynts into anti-slavery causes across the Empire, functioning as one of the primary patrons of abolitionist philosopher Edmund Arouet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kidnapping and Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
In an effort to restore relations with the rest of his family after the Piracy Papers he began a long correspondence with his uncle, who was now King of Ardoragh. He agreed to a political marriage with Lady Blanchard, daughter of the Marquis of Blanchard. Two months before the wedding was set to take place he was send to Solleria as a formal guest of the High-Lord of Alcanzar, King Vinkhuys. During this visit he, together with his staff and a handful of Alcanzari royal guards visited the ruins of the Imperial Summerhal Palace. During this visit, their party was ambushed. All the royal guards were killed and several members of his staff were wounded. The prince himself was kidnapped by unknown assailants and send southwards on horseback to an unknown destination. That same day a ransom note was delivered to the Ardoraghi consulate, demanding 5 million Florynts for the prince&#039;s safe return.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After two months of not getting any response from the High-Lord of Ardoragh, and the Imperial Police being unable to track down the kidnappers, the charred remains of the Prince were returned to Helmira. Identified by his ruby necklace, the Prince&#039;s body was returned to Ardoria for burial. His fortune and estates went to his butler, Lord Alfred Shackleford. This was however succesfully protested by the Rotersteiner family, who had the butler arrested and imprisoned. After almost 2 years the Kythiran Supreme Court decided in the case Shackleford V von Roterstein that Shackleford should be freed and the Chateau belongs to him and his family. Shackleford had already died in a Ardoraghi prison after a riot by the time this verdict was proclaimed. His widow and sons inherited the Chateau, and settled for 9000 Florynts with House Von Roterstein.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;The Kythiran Imperial Navy is the continuation of the Kythiran Royal Navy that was founded during the Second Era. After the founding of the Empire, the fleet mostly used remnants from the Helmsian Fleet to patrol the coast of the young Empire, until the Fourth Era, when an arms race began between the Imperius Reich and the Kythiran Empire. This resulted in the Mediori Fleet being constructed under the rule of Emperor Charles I Viromaro, which to this day is the heart of the Imperial Navy. The Imperial Navy proved vital during the Dervich Incident and the Grand War. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Imperial Navy consists of four elements:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Marsadini Fleet&lt;br /&gt;
