[Games] Re: "Royal Dynasty" Congrats - Round 1
in reply to a message by avalon
DH [41]: His Gracious Majesty Emperor Friedrich Viktor Johannes von Østergaard III of the Glorious Empire of Auttenburg.
- For the next round I choose the nos. 6 & 19.
Here's a bit of background...
Despite its outward appearance as being the epitome of imperial spendour, much of the cold, mountainous nation of Auttenburg is sinking into an impoverished existance, following the collapse of the Old Empire of Klasar. It once controlled much of the continent on which Auttenburg resides. Although it still proudly carries the Old Empire's title of 'Glorious Empire' the territory of Auttenburg is but a remnant.
Emperor Friedrich III is the current head of the ancient von Østergaard dynasty, who once ruled the mighty Old Empire. Despite the comparatively small territory which it has been left with, the von Østergaards still pride themselves on being the Royal House who carry on the traditions of the long-gone Old Empire. Their power is still absolute and the people of Auttenburg still regard their Emperor as their supreme ruler and protector. He rules Auttenburg from the thousand-year-old Celestial Palace. It is a city within a city, a gleaming silver edifice dominating the land around it.
In the near future Friedrich III hopes to strengthen the economic position of his nation by re-forming long-lost trade and diplomatic relationships with both its neighbours and nations beyond the shores of the Continent of Klasar. Friedrich is very determined to father an heir to continue thousands of years of father-to-son succession, and who will continue his legacy of trying to reclaim some of his family's past glory.
Unlike his ancestors, Friedrich's foreign education and far-sightness has seem him recently change the Law of Succession by imperial decree to allow a first-born to take the throne no matter their gender. This would allow a Grand Imperial Princess to one day ascend to the throne as the first Ruling Empress of Auttenburg.
Whoops, that was a bit long and a little late LOL!
