Retired Royal of Sirion, Zakilevo, boasts an impressive career of service to his republic. Having held positions of Prime Minister (three terms), General (two terms), Vice-Marshal of the Silver Legion, Lord of Dolmbar and Ustimbar, Duke and Margrave of Karbala, and knight of Sirion and Parm, he has left a lasting impact on the realm. He served in various military units, including the Army of Sirion, the Silver Legion, the Sirion's Scarlet Hunters, and the Glinmar Light Raiders. Additionally, he held the esteemed position of Arch Priest and Chief Justice of the lost realm of Dunnera. After a successful career, he has retired to his family estate in Sirion following the Perdanese Aggression War.

Sirion

A Young Knight

---

The Lapallanch family hails from the heart of the great elven realm of Sirion. Zakilevo, unlike his brother Kihalin, had a keen interest in various weapons. Instead of spreading himself thin by trying to learn how to wield too many weapons, he chose to focus on mastering the art of war through studying the uses of different weapons. Like all of his siblings, he had heterochromia iridis.

The Knight and The Steward of Sirion I

---

When he joined Sirion as a knight, he decided to serve under Duke Ecthelion Tezokian who was Duke of Sirion for as long as he could remember. He was assigned to Sirion's main army, the Army of Sirion. He joined AoS's northern operations during his early years but after 2 years in the north, Sirion changed her strategy and decided to focus Fontan thus bringing AoS to the south. After a huge battle in Montijo, he discovered a shield, 'Tempus' Aegis of the Ancients' while his men were searching the battlefield. He gave this shield to his liege, Duke Ecthelion. After years under Duke Ecthelion, Zakilevo was promoted to the steward of Sirion.

The Glinmar Light Raiders and The Silver Legion

---

After 4 years in the Army of Sirion, Lady Leoma, Marshal of the Glinmar Light Raiders asked Zakilevo to join the GLR. He was eager to fight harder for his homeland and accepted Marshal Leoma's offer. The GLR attacked Al Amarah to Negev and devastated Eastern side of Fontan. During this operation, the Vice-Marshal of the GLR went missing and Zakilevo sent a letter to Marshal Leoma for the position.

But the GLR was disbanded shortly after Zakilevo became the Vice-Marshal of the army due to the mysterious disappearance of the army sponsor, Lord Alain of Glinmar. Judge Erik Eyolf found a new army called the 'Silver Legion' and transferred everyone in the GLR. Zakilevo became a new Vice-Marshal of the newly found army. When Marshal Leoma disappeared for unknown reason, Zakilevo ordered the army for two weeks until Sir Turgon became the new Marshal. Under Marshal Turgon's leadership, the Silver Legion has conquered Al Amarah, Oporto, Braga, the city of Karbala, An Najaf and the city of Fontan. Months later, the Silver Legion sacked the Fontanese capital Krimml.

After Fontanese Chancellor Basilius agreed with the peace treaty, the Silver Legion was sent to the western regions where once a great realm of Old Rancagua stood. Sirion attack SoA from the east to the north constanly. Within weeks, Sirion successfully looted the duchy of Oroya including the city itself. But the sieze stopped when Westmoor attack Ashforth out of their greed. Ashforth was soon to be handed over to Sirion but Westmoor's foolish action slowned down the process.

The General of Sirion

---

When General Ilias became the new Prime Minister of Sirion, he has asked marshals and vice-marshals of Sirion to step up and become the new general of Sirion. But after almost a week of waiting, no one volunteered to become one. At the time, Zakilevo was planning on retiring from his military career. He had told Duke Erik and Marshal Turgon about his desire to retirefrom the position of the Vice-Marshal of the Silver Legion. He was also willing to step down from the Countship of Dolmbar to give more opportunity to the younger generation of Sirionite nobles.

But when Prime Minister Ilias asked the members of the General Staff that he was looking for someone younger to become the new general, Zakilevo decided to discuss the matter with his liege Duke Ecthelion. After exchanging a couple letters with his lord, he decided to run for the position. There were three candidates for the position but with the support of the two dukes of Sirion, Zakilevo won the position. As soon as he became the new general of Sirion, Sir Sun Ce replaced him in the Silver Legion as he wanted. He returned to Dolmbar shortly after to pack his belongings and ordered his steward to clean his mansion for the future Count of Dolmbar.

Soon after the appointment, he was injured while fighting Sultanate nobles in Csopa. The Sultaneses were looting the region for almost two days without any resistance from Sirion. Zakilevo's cavalries manage to destroy all of Sultaneses but he was injured during the battle. It took him two days to recover from his wounds. After his recovery, he ordered his armies to attack Oroya. This was a big mistake since most of the armies were not ready to march and the order came a bit too late. Sirion lost almost 9k CS while SoA lost barely anything. Zakilevo took the full blame for the failure and ensured his people that he will not fail twice.

After a huge refit, Sirion has gathered in Tabost to pressure Westmoor which has been continuously pressuring Fontan to give up more regions. Sirion managed to gather almost 20 000 CS in a single region. Sirion marched toward Juazeiro after three days to attack Sultaneses again. Once they arrived in the region, Marshal Webin ordered the Army of Sirion to attack Kazan without any order. Thankfully, Sultaneses had only a handful of men in the region.

Sirion and OI met in Kazan and readied themselves for a siege battle. A half day later, Zakilevo ordered Sirion and OI to assault the walls of Kazakh, the Sultanese capital. Over 20 000 CS of men attacked 10 000 CS of defending force. After hours of battle, Sirion and OI broke through the walls and massacred Sultanese troops. Zakilevo kept his words and managed to lead his army to a victory for the first time since he became the General of Sirion.

After burning down the Sultanese capital of Kazakh for weeks, Zakilevo ordered all three armies of Sirion to gather in Ashforth to deal with Westmoor. Westmoor ignored Sirion's warning and attacked Krimml, the capital of Fontan. The two realms met in Oberndorf. Sirion used the archer opening strategy while Westmoor chose to hold their positions. Due to their dug in position, Westmoor failed to react quickly, which allowed Sirion to devastate them with ease. Sirion maintained most of their men while over four-fifth of Westmoorian soldiers lay dead on the bloody field of Oberndorf. Westmoor quickly agreed to start a negotiation wiht Fontan after the defeat.

Zakilevo ordered his armies to attack rural areas of SoA to force their cities to starve after the battle in Oberndorf.

SoA tried to rebuild Kazakh but OI and AoS attacked the city to eliminate any of the remaining SoA nobles. Once his armies has gathered in the city of Kazakh, Zakilevo ordered his marshals to rally their armies in Pucallpa for a siege. In a couple days, the three armies of Sirion gathered in the outskirts of Pucallpa with over twenty siege engines. SoA lost all of its mobile troops, and militia units were only thing that were standing against the mighty elven armies.

Zakilevo ordered the attack only a day after the armies gathered in Pucallpa. Over a thousand men attacked the city of Oroya. The Siege of Oroya began with exchange of arrows but the armies of Sirion soon breached the walls of the city and massacred the Sultanese.

Once the armies secured the city, Zakilevo ordered the armies to loot the city to the ground. The city burned for days and hundreds if not thousands died during the occupation. With the last productive city gone, it seemed like it was the end of Sultanate of Asena. SoA survived over a month after losing her last city but on December 28th of year 1011, her last region Pucallpa revolted thus ending the long history of Sultanate of Asena. With the collapse of Sultanate of Asena, Zakilevo decided to retire from his post. He thought his job ended and Sirion would better off having a new general for the new era. He wrote a speech letter for his retirement and went back to being a knight of Sirion. Cimion Telerin became the new General of Sirion after Zakilevo.

The Knight and The Steward of Sirion II

---

After retiring from the General position, Zakilevo returned to his former duties, the same duties he performed over a year (or 10 physical years) ago. He was once again both knight and steward of the great city of Sirion. During this time, he reorganized estates (sending letters asking idle estate owners to set their estates to something useful) and wrote a region description of the city. Once he was done, he dismissed his cavalry unit '[] Vanquisher []' (captained by Waldor) as militia units of the city. Then he travelled north to help with some regional work in Sir Temple. After staying in the temple for half a day, he headed south to Avamar to become a priest of the Church of the Holy Sacred Grove.

The Priest of The Church of The Holy Sacred Grove

---

Zakilevo became a priest in Avamar to spread the teachings of the Church. Unlike many other major realms, Sirion's religion wasn't so strong. Those who have fought Fontan during the Great war realized how threatening a well established religion could be. So, Duke Ecthelion decided to help lords of Sirion to build temples all over Sirion. While lords were busy, Zakilevo decided to help commoners to learn the words of the Holy Father and Goddess Elune. However, Zakilevo soon realized his oratorical skill was actually poor and many peasants simply ignored his words. Realizing this, he left the capital to convert people of rural areas first. He first needed some experience before he dared to try and convert city people. Thus his journey began in Csopa, most unpopulated region in Sirion.

Zakilevo rewrote all the old teachings to help peasants understand the words of the Church better. He wrote about the Pantheon of the Nine Celestial Divines in the new text.

Zakilevo visited Westmoor and Perdan as a diplomat to improve the diplomatic relationship between them and Sirion. Nobles of Westmoor welcomed his visit while nobles of Perdan ignored him. Soon after he returned to Sirion, Westmoor hosted a tournament in their capital and Zakilevo joined the tournament where he advanced to the round three.

The General of Sirion II

---

When General Cimion fell ill to an unknown disease, Prime Minister Ilias sought advice from Zakilevo. He told Prime Minister Ilias of his willingness to take the position again until a more suitable candidate appeared. After two days of talk, Zakilevo was appointed as the General of Sirion once again to serve his beloved realm.

Not so long after his reappointment, a war broke out between Fontan and Westmoor. The Fontanese hierarchy was taken over by so called the 'Saxons'. Under their rule, Fontan amassed over 20 000 CS, surpassing even Sirion in terms of power. This sudden increase of combat strength frightened Westmoor enough to force the realm to declare war on Fontan. Once the war started, Fontan quickly moved into Hagley and looted the region to the ground. Before Westmoor could react, Fontan pulled back to Greatbridge and started a take over of the region. Westmoor gathered 13 000 CS and attacked Fontan's main army but they were crushed by the might of Fontan. This defeat forced King Jor of Westmoor to ask other realms for help.

While all this was going on, A daemon called 1st Son declared war on every realm on the continent and began his invasion. He first struck Westmoorian region of Evora with over 30 000 CS of daimon troops and devastated the region. As soon as Zakilevo heard of the news, he ordered all his marshals to gather in Parm to confront daimons and close the portal opened to west of Csopa.

It was soon revealed the rumour of daimon portals was a false rumour spread by Westmoorians to force Fontan to sign cease fire. The council decided to build up Sirion's strength despite realizing the truth of the rumour.

When Prime Minister Ilias decided to stop running for the position of Prime Minister, Zakilevo decided to run for the position. Marshal Ragnar and Count Ubin also ran for the position during the election against him.

The Prime Minister of Sirion

---

After 777 days of serving Sirion, Zakilevo was elected as the new Prime Minister of the great Elven Republic of Sirion with 92 votes (33% of the valid votes cast) on May 5th of 2012. Right after his rise to Prime Minister, he began his work of pressuring Westmoor as they tried to expand toward Fontan.

On May 17th 2012, Commonyr revolted against Westmoor and joined Sirion. General Rugina sent the Red Dragons to secure the region from Westmoor and Fontan. A couple days later, Negev joined Sirion after the execution of Squiggy Schumacher.

Westmoor asked for the return of Commonyr but Zakilevo refused their request as they had no legitimate claim over the region. Zakilevo told Jor of Westmoor to stop their expansion but his request was ignored. Zakilevo tried to put more pressure on by asking King ][osferatu of Perdan to send a personal letter to Jor but even that did not work. This eventually forced Zakilevo to declare war on Westmoor on June 2nd 2012. Jor tried to sway the opinions of other rulers of the continent in Westmoor's favour by using Zakilevo's speech letter against him (which he probably got from here.) and to counter his letter, Zakilevo decided to be honest about his plans.

Not too long after fiercely exchanging letters with King Jor in the ruler's channel, Zakilevo ordered an attack on Bruck. He personally ordered this attack due to a temporary absence of General Rugina. This caused confusion among ranks but it was sorted out within two days. Soon after their arrival, Sirionite armies looted Bruck to the ground which forced Westmoorians in Westmoor to attack them. After a fierce battle, Sirion emerged victorious and the people of Bruck thanked them for defeating the evil forces (Westmoorians) plaguing their region. A day after the battle, Zakilevo ordered the armies to return to Sirion for a refit.

After being inactive for the most of the campaign, General Rugina resigned from her position due to some personal reasons. Marshal Webin was promoted as the new general of Sirion to lead the great armies. While Sirion was going through a transition, Westmoor attacked Montijo and damaged the region for a full day before moving to Commonyr. Montijo lost a couple hundred peasants but no lasting damage was done to the region. However, Commonyr was looted severely for three days. To answer Westmoor's attack on the Sirionite soil, General Webin attacked Greatbridge with only the Army of Sirion. This was proved to be a terrible mistake. Without no army to back it up, the AoS lost to Westmoorian armies of the same size in Greatbridge. General Webin ordered the defeated army to delay Westmoorians but some of the members of the military council objected his idea.

When Zakilevo returned to the capital, he ordered bureaucrats to work on a new palace as the old palace was too old and deteriorated from years without any repairs.

Once the refit was over, The armies gathered in Montijo and marched into Westmoor. General Webin started a TO of Greatbridge while ordering the RD and SL to loot Dublin to the ground. After four days of occupying Greatbridge, all three armies of Sirion moved to Hagley where they met Westmoor's mobile army. A battle broke out between the two realms. 2 hours later, Sirion emerged victorious.

After the battle in Hagley, the ambassador of Westmoor contacted Zakilevo to start a negotiation for peace. Zakilevo demanded Westmoor to give up their false claims on their surrounding regions(Commonyr, Oberndorf, Krimml, and Braga) but it was refused rather quickly. Despite Westmoor's refusal, Zakilevo continued to contact Westmoor's ambassador to bring peace back to the north.

While the negotiation was going nowhere, Westmoor looted Commonyr until the region went rogue. When Sirion reentered Westmoor, her armies split into three groups, forcing the people of Greatbridge to declare independence while looting Dulbin and Evora to the ground. Westmoor tried to retake Greatbridge while sending a small raiding force through Braga to attack Montijo, hoping to force Sirion's armies to return to the republic but Zakilevo quickly gathered those who were staying behind to carry out maintenance work of Sirion's regions and crushed Westmoorian raiders in Montijo within a day. At the same time, the AoS and SL attacked Greatbridge and defeated Westmoor's main army.

After a week long refit, the armies of Sirion began their next campaign. The AoS retook Commonyr while the other two armies entered Greatbridge. When the AoS retook Commonyr, General Webin left only a fraction of the army in Commonyr while moving the rest to Bruck to loot the region. Westmoor took over Morshes meanwhile.

Within a couple days, Bruck lost a third of its population by the Sirionite armies. When the region was about to revolt, Ambassador Antonious of Westmoor contacted Zakilevo and surrendered, accepting Zakilevo's term. Zakilevo announced Sirion's victory and promised a grand tournament to celebrate the victory and to honour Duke Ecthelion's 10 years of service. 96 nobles across the continent joined to become the biggest tournament in the past three years or more (96 nobles out of 373 nobles, 25.7% of the nobles on the continent). Only nobles from Armonia were absent from the tournament.

After the tournament, Zakilevo stepped down from his position and joined Caligus' colony, Dunnera.

Duke of Karbala

---

About a week after Zakilevo's return, Duchess Marion disappeared, leaving the Duchy of Karbala without a duke. The council immediately began their voting to find a new duke of the duchy. Zakilevo was asked to run for the position by Prime Minister Ryu. 3 days later, Zakilevo was appointed as the new duke of Karbala.

His first act as the new duke of Karbala was to construct a recruitment center to commemorate previous Prime Ministers of Sirion. When he managed to build a ranged Special Force center (75 75-4/90), he named it after Meristenzio, who managed to get Sirion out of the diplomatic pinch Sirion was in during the Great War.

On December 8th 2012, Sirion took over Oporto, making her the largest realm the East Continent has ever seen.

After aiding the SSH with clearing monsters for three weeks, Zakilevo returned to his city to construct a recruitment center. He constructed a melee SF center (75 80/80) and named it after one of the former Prime Ministers, Romul.

In December, Zakilevo demolished almost all the centers in Karbala except one in hope of constructing something better. Prime Minister Ryu, the former duke of Karbala, was infuriated by this action and warned Zakilevo.

When Prime Minister Ryu Hinamoto did not put his name forward for re-election, Brigdha, Verdun, and Durion decided to run for the ruler-ship. After reading serveral letters the candidates sent to the nobility of the republic, Zakilevo decided to run for the position as well to lead Sirion once again.

The Prime Minister of Sirion II

---

On January 05 2013, Zakilevo was elected to lead the Republic of Sirion once again. Not so long after the election, Banker Anurak also went missing but he came back before the council decided his successor. But he decided to leave his position to become the duke of Slimbar. The council voted Lady Absalome, Countess of Commonyr, as a new banker but she disappeared without a trace, forcing the council to choose someone else. Within a few days of time, Lady Elena was appointed to replace Lady Absalome.

On January 21 2013, Lord Ryu Hinamoto also disappeared mysteriously; it left the SSH without a sponsor or a marshal, thus crippling the army. Zakilevo quickly created a new army with the same name to let the members of the SSH transfer. Duke Ecthelion was unhappy with the fact that the council did not vote on the matter of the army location.

On February 17 2013, after series of arguments between King Atanamir and Kronogos Neji, Perdan declared war on Nivemus for oppressing peasants. Soon after declaring war on Nivemus, Perdan sent infiltrators to attack Nivemus nobles. Some nobles were injured from random attacks from Perdanese infiltrators, but troop leaders spared from the attack as they had enough men to defend themselves from such attack.

When the war started, OI broke the treaty they signed for the Northern Confederation in order to avoid any conflict with Perdan and Westmoor which angered Kronogos Neji enough to remove the members of OI immediately. However, he removed them without consorting with Sirion which infuriated some council members of the republic.

With OI opening a way for Perdan to attack Nivemus' northern regions, Perdan gathered her forces in Gadlock. When they attacked Salta, Sirion quickly dispatched the Silver Legion to aid Nivemus. This forced Perdan to retreat back to Gadlock although they lost 9k CS as they did not have enough time to turn all their men around. Nivemus wanted to attack Gadlock and Bruck in order to use this chance to cripple Perdan's mobile force, however, this was rejected by the Sirionite council as the council did not want to break the treaty they have signed with Westmoor first. This later gave a chance for Perdan to rebuild her armies and harass northern regions of Nivemus.

Perdan sent her elite army, PMW, to Juazeiro to force Nivemus to leave Oberndorf to weaken forces in Oberndorf enough for Perdan, Armonia and Westmoor to attack. Armonia's queen sent a letter to Zakilevo, ensuring him that she would only send a third of her mobile army. This, of course, was a lie. Instead she sent all her mobile forces to the north. A total of 17k CS worth of men showed up in Bruck to aid Perdan and Westmoor. Nivemus left Oberndorf in order to confront PMW in Juazeiro. Due to damaged road networks around the region, Nivemus armies were cut in half and were slaughtered one army at a time leading to complete annihilation of their mobile forces. After crushing Nivemus, joint forces of Perdan, Armonia and Westmoor attacked Oberndorf where Sirion and a small force of Nivemus were defending. On March 6 2013, the Epic Battle of Oberndorf took place, later known to be one of the greatest battles in the history of the known world.

Although Sirion was winning major battles, the republic could not stop Perdan's raiding army from damaging Nivemus' northern regions. As the war progressed, Nivemus quickly lost her northern territories a region by region. In hope of evening the war, Sirion declared war on Westmoor and started to attack southern regions of Westmoor. Perdan soon declared war on Sirion, claiming Zakilevo's cousin Hernfelk was a Sirionite spy. However, this notion was met with some skepticism as Perdan crossed Sirion's northern border within half a day after the declaration of war meaning they were already planning an attack prior. Zakilevo soon stepped down due to his illness and his successor Erik Eyolf signed a peace treaty with Perdan.

The Prime Minister of Sirion III

---

On May 05 2013, Zakilevo was elected to rule Sirion for the third time with 100 votes (54% of the valid votes cast) beating the former Prime Minister Erik Eyolf by 46 votes. On the same day, the Silver Legion defeated Westmoor's mobile army in Poitiers. General Webin ordered the AoS and RD to stay in Juazeiro, hopeing to aid Nivemus in retaking the region but it turned out to be a waste of time as Nivemus couldn't take the region as the region was not connected to Nivemus.

After a quick refit, General ordered the AoS and RD to strike Gadlock to destroy the mobile army of OI. After a quick battle, Sirionite armies slaughtered the islanders and moved to Bruck to loot the region. But by the time they've reached the region, Wesmtoor was ready to attack. The SL moved to Greatbridge to provide a safe retreat route for the AoS and RD. Unfortunately, not everyone managed to leave the region in time, and some nobles were forced to fight. They were outnumbered quite heavily and some of them were captured. Lady Marion was one of the captured nobles, and when Judge Gregor of Westmoor realized that his prisoner was carrying 3000 gold on her hands, he did not hesitate to relieve her of her gold. This infuriated some people in the Council, and even more when Duke Erik appointed her as a lord of Tabost.

Fortunately, Westmoor spent their gold on rebuilding their armies only to lose them in Commonyr. When Sirion took over Greatbridge and began to loot Bruck, Hagley, and Dublin, Westmoor bypassed Sirion's mobile armies to attack Commonyr to start a TO. On their way to Commonyr, they encountered General Webin, who was retreating from the front-line formed between Bruck and Hagley. The encounter ended with the death of General Webin, the first Sirionite general to fall in battle in many generations. Zakilevo temporarily took control of the armies and ordered marshals to continue their looting. He personally ordered individuals who could not loot or near Commonyr to gather in Greatbridge. Within a day, 9 troop-leaders from three different armies gathered in Greatbridge to attack Commonyr to stop the TO. After a quick battle, Sirion emerged victorious, and Westmoor lost their armies which they rebuilt with 3000 gold they took from Lady Marion of Tabost. After the battle, Zakilevo ordered TLs in Bruck to attack Poitiers while ordering TLs in Hagley to attack Dublin and Evora. When the campaign ended, the Council selected a new general. The newest duke, Duke Ermanno of Slimbar, was appointed as the new general of Sirion. Outraged by the decision, Lord Jayden of Flismar resigned from his marshal position to criticize Council's decision as he expected himself to be appointed as the next general due to his military experience as the marshal of the Red Dragons.

General Ermanno set long term goals while establishing short term goals to achieve the long term goals. His plan was to continue with the previous campaign and loot regions of Westmoor while taking Greatbridge and Evora over.

On June 2nd 2013, Duke Armstrong of Oligarch seceded from Westmoor to create a new realm called Fane. King Thomas informed other rulers that Duke Armstrong seceded after his council decided to surrender to Sirion, handing Oligarch over in the process. He formally surrendered to Sirion and asked Zakilevo to send terms of surrender to him.

The Sirionite Council immediately began to discuss the terms. This took over a week due to conflict in opinions, but the Council eventually agreed on two terms. The following is the treaty sent to King Thomas:

Republic of Sirion officially accepts Kingdom of Westmoor's surrender. Sirion demands the following terms:

• Surrender of Oligarch, Greatbridge, and Bruck to Sirion, in exchange for Evora.
• Peace with both Sirion and Nivemus.

This treaty will go into effect as soon as representatives of all parties involved sign.

King Thomas requested Sirion to take Dulbin instead of Bruck, and the Council once again busied itself with a long discussion. While Sirion's armies were preparing to assault Oligarch, the Council decided to accept King Thomas's request and return Evora for Dulbin.

On June 21st 2013, the combined armies of Sirion and Nivemus besieged Oligarch where former Westmoorians who now called themselves 'Faneians' defended thus leading to the Siege of Oligarch I which ended in a draw. Although Fane managed to repel the first attack, they couldn't stop Sirion and Nivemus from overwhelming them in the Siege of Oligarch II where Sirion's infantry finally breached the walls of Oligarch and slaughtered the defending militias. A series of skirmishes followed as scattered troops of Fane desperately tried to regain the control of the city but without the walls to protect them, they were no match for Sirion and Nivemus. Eventually, most nobles of Fane were captured and were sent to the Sirionite Prison in Sirion.

The take over failed when Fane's militia managed to disrupt it. Not long after the second take over started, a crisis happened in Caligus. Isadril seceded from Caligus to form Fallangard while King Dobromir died from his wounds. The Council immediately began to discuss the situation although many were in favor of overturning the previous decision of declaring war on Perdan as no one was certain what the next king of Caligus would do. Zakilevo, however, refused to overturn the decision and declared war on Perdan on his own. Many members of the Council protested his decision. General Ermanno even stepped down to show his disagreement. Zakilevo decided to take the responsibility of his action and stepped down as well. Although he declared war to stay true to his political promises he made to the realm, it did not change the fact he caused disharmony and fragmentation. He soon declared his retirement and revoked his oath to release himself from his duties and responsibilities as a noble of Sirion.

Sirion reached her maximum size of 32 regions at the end of his reign, making her the largest realm the continent has ever seen.

The End

Roleplay from Zakilevo Lapallanch

Message sent to everyone in your realm (65 recipients)

The day Zakilevo has been waiting for has finally come. It was his last day as a proud soldier of the Republic. His room has already been emptied and the only thing remaining in the room was his sword which was given to him by Prime Minister Ecthelion after he knighted Zakilevo. The sword has survived countless battles Zakilevo has fought over the years but just like Zakilevo, it will never be unsheathed by him after today as it will be returned to the man who gave him the sword. As he walked down the halls which he once walked to become a knight, he stopped occasionally to remember his career. When he first entered these halls, he was nothing more than a native noble of Sirion who was ready to defend the republic which has raised and protected him and his family for generations. Many young nobles lwere called upon to fight enemies who constantly attacked the borders of Sirion. Like Zakilevo, many answered the call but many perished as the cost of honor and fame was paid in blood as blood was the currency of war. For the first seven years of his life, he fought constantly. He nearly died several times but from what he learned from those near death experiences, he found what it was required for him to keep himself alive. After learning how to keep himself alive, he began to study how to keep his men alive. He studied each battle he fought and more he earned, more involved he became with the military. Eventually, he became a vice-marshal and got a chance to lead an army during his marshal's absence. Also, the position earned Zakilevo enough trust and support from the lords of Sirion to elect him as the lord of Ustimbar and lord of Dolmbar. The experience he gained from leading an army gave him enough confidence to run as the military head of Sirion when General Ilias was elected as the successor of Prime Minister Meristenzio. With the support of his liege and his friends, Zakilevo was given a chance to command the military of the republic. But commanding an army and armies had a big difference between them which Zakilevo realized too late. His first battle as the general of Sirion was a disastrous battle which ended with nearly 10,000 CS worth of casualties without accomplishing anything. It was One of the worst defeats Sirion had at the end of the Great Northern War. Although he was criticized harshly but it was something he needed to become a better military mind. His mistake made him take one step back and think more about his objective. He kept his plan secret until all the armies gathered in Juazeiro and from there, he ordered his men to cross the sea to strike the heart of his foes. With one battle, his foes kneeled. Unfortunately, they did not kneel without a fight and struck Zakilevo when he least expected. His foes left their city to strike stragglers of Sirion, among them was Bastian Moore, one of former Prime Ministers of Sirion. Although Bastian fought bravely, he fell before the battle ended with most of his men. Fortunately, his body was recovered among the dead and was sent back to his family. Eventually, Bastian's death was avenged with the destruction of the very realm responsible for his death. The disasters brought by his overconfidence later helped him to listen more to others. Once Prime Minister Iilas retired, he ran to succeed him as the next Prime Minister of Sirion, hoping to repay what his realm had given him. During his first term, he focused on reforming the Council. With the help of the Council, he established laws to restrict the power of government members and clearly define the roles of each position. He believed too much power in one person would eventually lead to corruption. Soon after the reform, a war broke out in the south which ended with the destruction of Fontan by Caligus, Perdan and Westmoor. When King Jor of Westmoor tried to expand to fill the vacuum created by destroyed Fontan, Sirion warned Westmoor. After being ignored several times, Zakilevo was permitted by the Council to declare war on Westmoor. To prevent Perdan's involvement, Zakilevo promised King ][osferatu of Perdan not to attack Westmoorian cities. During the war, King Dobromir of Caligus contacted him on creating a colony in Fontan. The discussion dragged on until the end of the war and it was agreed that Zakilevo would join the new realm as Sirion's representative as no one in the Council at the time wished to join the new realm. The colony, however, failed due to the conflict between the banker of Dunnera and Duke of Fontan. Caligus destroyed the colony within a month. Feeling ashamed by the failed colony, Zakilevo was thinking about joining one of the southern realms but his old liege persuaded him back to Sirion. Although it had only been a month, Zakilevo was changed quite a lot. He became more aggressive and stubborn when he returned to Sirion. After his appointment as the new duke of Karbala, he got into an argument with the new Prime Minsiter Ryu. Prime Minister Ryu shortly disappeared and Zakilevo decided to run to lead the republic again. However, he quickly showed his flaws in politics. His tendency to trust people quickly was the biggest weakness he had. He eventually learned that he could not trust rulers like he did with his realmmates. He soon realized the alignment of interest was the key to success not friendship and even that was just one face of the beast called 'politics'. He became impulsive as he had to do a job that conflicted his nature and qualities and that eventually made him bring himself down. At the end of the halls, there was an old Elven knight standing before the door of the office of Prime Minister. The knight was there when Zakilevo was knighted. Interestingly, he has not changed much over the years like the statues standing beside him. Zakilevo gave him his sword and told him to return the sword to Prime Minister Ecthelion. With that his oath has been lifted as he gave up all the previlege that came with it. He was now no one. He had nothing just like when he came here as a young man. The knight nodded and took the sword away from Zakilevo's hand. As he turned around, the knight's voice stopped him. "Any regrets?" Zakilevo stopped to answer the question and that was when he realized he has never felt so free. Free of many things which have burdened him for years. His dreams... ambitions... duties... and finally regrets. He turned around to show the knight his smile as the answer. As Zakilevo walked out of the castle, he felt the warmth of the Sun. He could hardly remember when he last appreciated this warmth. He was too busy thinking of too many things, he has forgotten to appreciate everything. He could not even remember the last time he has looked up to the blue sky above him. Never mind the stars. On his way to his family manor which he has not visited in almost a decade, he bought flowers for his wife and books for his son. Although he has sent gifts to his son over the decade, he has never seen his son in person. He was fighting Westmoor when his son was born and the only thing he could do for him was giving him a name. He has only seen his son's face through portraits drawn by artists, and he could only imagine his son's face based on them. His feeling of freedom faded and was replaced by the feeling of burden as he wondered more about his son, but he actually felt rather pleasant. He knew his new task would come with pleasant surprises. Before he entered his family manor, he turned around to see the view of the city and realm he loved so much for a few seconds. With that he shook off the last remnants of his feelings and moved on.

Zakilevo Lapallanch

Dunnera

On the same day he stepped down and left Sirion, Zakilevo joined the Kingdom of Dunnera and was appointed as the Arch Priest immediately upon his joining. He became a knight of Fontan but soon abandoned his estate to become a knight of Viseu.

The Arch Priest/Chief Justice/High Marshal of Dunnera

Zakilevo was appointed as the First Arch Priest of the Kingdom of Dunnera almost immediately after his joining. As the first Arch Priest, he immediately began to work on the basic laws to protect the nobility of the kingdom. One of the first things he has implemented was the trial system. Once someone fills out a form to request a trial, the arch priest selects four attendants who will aid him on making the decision. The first trial has taken place just a month after the creation of Dunnera. Royal Treasurer Davis charged Lord Aiden of Fontan for falsely accusing him of treason and for insulting him by calling him a commoner. Lord Aiden did not bother to answer to the trial to defend himself, thus losing the trial. Lord Aiden was fined for 200 gold for falsely accusing Royal Treasurer Davis of treason and insulting him by calling him a commoner.

After being fined, Margrave Aiden decided to use his power to destroy Dunnera unless the council submitted to his demands(which was delivered to the council through his brother, King Dobromir - Letter of King Dobromir to King Traemlin). Zakilevo, with King Traemlin's consent, banished Margrave Aiden, who disbanded all the militia in Fontan, for committing treason against the Crown. Aiden immediately destroyed all the infrastructures in the city of Fontan, angering the nobility of Dunnera.

When Aiden tried to defend himself by accusing Davis of trying to create a secret spy agency, the council decided to go along with his idea to stop the destruction of Dunnera but the nobility of Dunnera did not buy it. When the whole thing settled down, the council declared another trial to decide the fate of Dunnera. But even before the trial began, Aiden threatened the council and made his brother, King of Caligus, attack Dunnera to get the former Caligusian regions back. King Traemlin ordered everyone to gather in the capital to prepare Dunnera to face the approaching siege battle against Caligus.

When the Caligusian army finally arrived in Viseu, Cedric Wentwood, Margrave of Viseu, immediately surrendered and joined Caligus to save himself. Zakilevo, who was his knight, was forced to join Caligus but he quickly switched back to Dunnera to fight Caligus.

The council decided to attack An Najaf to stop a take over of Caligus but only a fraction of the mobile army of Dunnera moved which led to a disastrous outcome. A few days later, Dunnera attacked again but they did not even manage to break the infantry line of Caligus.

After taking An Najaf over, Caligus moved to Oporto to force the region to go rogue by looting the region constantly. Within a few days, the region went rogue. The Caligusian army quickly refitted in Viseu then gathered in An Najaf to besiege the city of Fontan. With an overwhelming number of infantry, they broke through the level 3 walls and destroyed the resisting Dunneran defenders. Zakilevo was wounded during the battle and his wounds worsened by the evening, making him lose his conscientiousness.

Within a week, Caligus took over the city of Fontan and drove the remaining Dunneran nobles out of the city. Zakilevo left the city after Grand Duke Leonardo declared the end of Dunnera.
