Hanajan

=====Hireshmont===== The second of the Exiled Twins, Hireshmont was born of the same mother as his twin brother, Hanajan. He was exiled at the same time as his brother, but sent to a vastly different place. After a harrowing sea voyage, he was cast ashore in the Utter East. The farthest eastern realm of the Far East, Sartania.

He was adopted by the priests there, but his noble birth was discovered. At age fourteen, he took up a job in the Holy Court. He proved himself dedicated to Sartania, a loyal leader. He was fanatically devoted to his faith, his utter belief in Sartan, the God of War. Mere months after entering the active service as a commander in the Army of Sartania, Hireshmont began to be discontent with the leadership. He found them too stagnant. They did not hold Sartan's ideals in high esteem. He found friends of similar belief, and began to gain a following. Just before Sartanian Forces invaded Athios, Hireshmont announced that he was the Prophet of Qyrvagg, the New God of War and Battle.

Qyrvagg was Sartan's younger brother, and had overthrown him. He and Baiko, the Master of the Holy Hosts, began a great Schism and Defection. He announced that the Church, Holy Host, and Temple would, in time, be moved to Valantia in Beluaterra. The Trial of Qyrvagg began as Hireshmont fled Obtal and Sartania. He displayed a detailed and eloquent knowledge of the Pantheon of Ibladesh, the essence of Sartan, and the events of the Heavens. Sparticus the Just mediated, well, justly. Hireshmont was to be executed on December the 5th, for heresy and blesphemy.

He was to be tortured thoroughly, and killed and become the greatest traitor in the history of Sartania, the greatest heretic in that same nation, the first Prophet of Qyrvagg, and the Martyr of the Church of Qyrvagg. But the Sartanian officials bungled the affair miserably.

Hireshmont, wearing bright colors, going without protection, shouting his identity, and informing his foes of his movement, walked, in freedom, to Tuhpos, where he hoped to be captured more easily. Failing this, he decided that, if he did was not captured by mid-day of the 6th, it was a sign from Qyrvagg to flee with his life.

True to his word, Hireshmont boarded ship for Oligarch, laughing to himself about the horrid innefecutuality of Sartanian police forces. When he arrived in Oligarch, he quickly announced his Faith and Beliefs, hoping to find understanding there, and perhaps conversions, in time. But he, thus far, holds absolutely no desire to cause rapid government change there.

After a few weeks in Oligarch, Hireshmont began feeling the need to try and aid it more, strategically. Thus, in a lull between campaigns, he forwarded his battle plan, Operation: Master Host, along with a few other contingency plans. Soon after the New Lands formed in East Continent, Hireshmont formed the WCC, Worst Case Council, for the defense of Oligarch and its allies by predicting all possible scenarios for the future, and planning responses for them. Soon after this, he was also appointed a lieutenant in the Oligarchian army. In fact, it was at this time that Hireshmont's true political life began. he became a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Chairman of the WCC, and a Lieutenant in the Oligarchian army, along with the High Priest of East Continent for the Church of Qyrvagg.

Following the Reformation of Oligarch into a Republic, like it had been deep in history, the WCC became a recognised organization within Oligarch. Soon after this, Hireshmont proceedd to draft the First EC Heartland Realms ALliance Council Charter, a document outlining plans for reorganization of the alliance group of Ubent, Perdan, Oligarch, and Caligus. Unfortunately, the plan died.

Just a few days later, when Old Rancagua ended their non-agression pact with Oligarch, Hireshmont announced he would run for Judge, against many experienced and long-time troop leaders.

On January 27th, after Elaira stepped down, Hireshmont, much to his surprise(he had campaigned, but didnt expect to win), found himself elected as the Grand Justiciar! The complete results are here: Hireshmont's First Judge Election.

In his few days as judge, Hireshmont worked to improve relations and promote honor and fair conduct between the warring nations of East Continent. He made a policy of releasing traders that were captured, of not torturing foes captured in battle, of not confiscating money, and of working on a level playing field with other judges around the continent. He successfully brokered two prisoner exchanges, resulting in 5 Oligarchian nobles being released from various prisons, and put a plan in the works known as the International Prisoner Treatment Act, which called for the release of traders, and good conduct towards soldiers captured in battle.

Hireshmont didnt run in the next election, and Donna Ragna succeeded him. Soon after, in the brilliant 1st Kazakh Peninsular Campaign, Hireshmont led a TO in Kazakh(which failed due to enemy intervention), which can be read about in the Oligarchian Observer. He successfully fended off two assassins in that time. Clearly, Hireshmont is a popular guy!

Soon after, Hireshmont was fined by Donna Ragna, at Hireshmont's encouragement and request, because of his innap[ropriate behavior during the whol Paris debacle In Oligarch.
