Exarch Candos

- In the ancient hand of House Scribe Robert ‘The last child of Bleobaris, Candos sat upon the throne as Exarch. Like his sister Queen Ava he too had studied under the wise Maradoc, chief Wizard of the Realm. The Horde, Orc Raids, and the Dragon Urugall have all taken their toll. The ravages were slowly erased during his reign, cut short by a boar hunting accident in 2857.’

A.C. 2845
My transition to power is a smooth one yet I wonder who will follow me. My first wife has passed, my sisters Ava and Rose along with my dear brother Gauter. Charles our brother in law also died in the same blaze that took Rose.

The Horde, Orcs, and poor weather have ravaged the lands in the past twenty years. Therefore my first act as Exarch shall be to rebuild what was lost and expand upon that which is.

A.C. 2846 - 2850
Joy of Joys, my wife Emily young at heart and body gives us three children. Victoria, Julia, and a son. His name shall proclaim him of a noble line and one which holds a special place in our hearts, Bleobaris.

Reconstruction continues at too slow a pace for my liking. Unfortunately it is far easier to destroy than to create. This reminds me of something I once heard. It is easier to give birth than to resurrect the dead. Indeed truer words have not been spoken.

Our merchants come to me with both excitement and trepidation. It would appear that vessels from the far off lands of Ahuran can reach the newer port village of Rantes. Yet the other news is somewhat grave. The Empire continues to struggle as whole regions revolt for internal and external conflict are in no short supply in recent times.

With the troubled times at hand from both foul beast and foul deeds the States shall endeavor to become a Bastion for those that seek refuge and safety along the western frontier of Medarhos. A memory comes to mind of my father and brother. “Veneratio , Virtus , Vitualamen”

A.C. 2851 - 2855
The faithful Sir Finten hears word of a religious fervor to the north amongst the horse folk. After a few hours of prayer and council it is decided he shall be sent forth preaching the word. Within a year word reaches us here in the capital that he has taken ill and died.

Such magical divinations as could be used were placed all throughout the lands and those bordering the States. Any hostile intent would be well known beforehand and a force sent out to deal with the matter.

Sir Bradley to the East and myself to the West.

A.C. 2856 - 2857
Word arrives from the Order of the Dawn that reconstruction is nearly complete in the Hills. To complete such a task the treasury is opened wide and workers sent north. Seeing them depart for well over a month it is apparent that if this does not succeed nothing will.

With all going well it is time to take time to hunt boar recalling past days with my father and brother.
