Beginnings

Taylin is a cousin of the better-known members of the Indirik family. She first rose from obscurity when she pledged service to the realm of Ohnar West on the Far East Island. Soon after joining Ohnar West she pledged fealty to the lord of Sanzzos, Count Balthazar Bathgate.

Taylin responded to an open invitation by Hamilton Vita, Duke of Akanos, for dinner in Akanos. They had an interesting conversation.

The First Lordship

Approximately two weeks after Taylin swore allegiance to Sanzzos, her liege lord Count Balthazar was elected as the new Duke of Ozrat. Taylin entered her name in the election as the next Lord of Sanzzos. The former Prime Minister, Cornelius Hsieh, also announced his candidacy. A bitter campaign followed, which devolved into questioning the competency of the military leadership of Ohnar West. Somewhere along the line in this campaign an unknown noble placed a bounty of 50 gold on Taylin. She lost the election to Cornelius by a narrow margin. The amount of support she had amassed during her short tenure in Ohnar West was quite a surprise to many in the republic.

Two weeks after that, Count Cornelius was re-elected as Prime Minister when former Prime Minister Fallin abdicated due to time constraints. (OOC:Auto-abdicated due to inactivity.) The resulting election for lordship of Sanzzos saw Taylin elected in a landslide victory.

Prime Minister

Taylin ran for Prime Minster of Ohnar West at the height of the secession war with the Akadian League. She received much popular support and was elected by a wide margin. Unfortunately the rulership was destined to not last long. Three days later, before she could do much more than begin to open negotiations with her peers, she was captured by the forces of Greater Aenilia in Pesol. Although she was released immediately, her brief incarceration was enough to remove her from the throne and trigger an immediate vote for a new ruler. Since she was in prison and ineligible, she was not able to be re-elected.

At the next monthly election, however, Taylin was once again elected as Prime Minster. She ruled the republic, essentially unchallenged, for the next 10 months. During her tenure as Prime Minster, Taylin accomplished the following:

  • Negotiated the end of the war with the secessionist Akadian League, reintegrating the Duchy of Akanos with Ohnar West
  • Broke Ohnar West's ties to Mosesadelphia and Soliferum
  • Led Ohnar West in a war that ended with the destruction of Papania, and the assimilation of the Ossaet duchy into Ohnar West
  • Signed alliances with Cathay, Arcaea, and C'thonia
  • Brought Ohnar West into conflict with Soliferum

After leading Ohnar West for 10 months, Duke Joseph of Akanos announced that he would candidate for the office of Prime Minster. Relieved that someone in Ohnar West had finally decided that they wanted the throne, she declined to contest the election, allowing Duke Joseph to take the office unopposed. (OOC: Due to a bug that kept Joseph from running, Taylin announced herself as a candidate in the election to keep the realm from falling into leaderless anarchy. However, the bug was fixed before the election actually ended. Joseph was able to run, and he won.)

Duchess of Akanos

As Ohnar West is a Republic, Duke Joseph lost the Duchy of Akanos immediately upon his election as Prime Minster. Taylin took the opportunity to run for election as the new Duchess of Akanos. She won easily against three other candidates, receiving over four times as many votes as the next candidate.

War with Arcachon

In brief: Ohnar West was pathetic.

But, during that time, Taylin took the opportunity to get a bit of revenge ...

Toupellon

The newly appointed Duke of Ozrat, Claude Finsternis, was not happy with the way things wee going. And, as it turned out, the Cathayan Duke Anatole Brandon was not happy with Cathay, either. Following a bitter election in Cathay, Duke Anatole seceded to found Toupellon. Duke Claude followed the secession with Ozrat, and Taylin followed with Akanos. Full details are available here.

Tournament Champion

Taylin attended the a tournament in Hatdhes. She received one wildcard, and defeated 4 opponents to win the swordfighting tournament, taking the 1,000 gold first prize. This is the family's first tournament victory.
