Emperor Ailmon I

Ailmon Ralozorwyn was the ruler of The Augurian Empire from 950 AF until 955 AF.

Background
Ailmon was the son of Raeran Ralozorwyn, who was one of the most influental people in the court of the late Emperor Hildebrand III. Raeran was a very popular person in the Augurian Empire and was able to seize power, becoming the "temporary" governor of the realm.

Raeran ruled as governor for 19 years and managed to keep his popularity during the period. As a result, he successfully convinced the members of the council to elect his son, Ailmon as emperor. The council agreed that the domain needed a strong leader and agreed to crown Ailmon when his father died.

Ailmon was born in the late hours of Thebolys 27, 935 AF, on a new moon.

Early Rule
The coronation of Ailmon was held on Erenae 6, 950 AF, exactly one week and one day after his father had died. He was 15 at the time. The event was glorius and the people looked forward to an era of great prosperity.

The first year of the new emperor's rule passed peacefully. However, by the start of the second year, the severity and amount of raids from both the western and eastern border significantly increased. The young and inexperienced emperor raised the taxes dramatically in order to maintain a strong military force. This action was not received well by the nobles of the realm and they quickly lost trust in Ailmon.

Later Years
As the years passed, the attacks on the empire did not get any weaker and Ailmon didn't dare to lower the taxes. The citizens had enough of paying high taxes throughout the whole year and the young emperor lost all support by the end of his fourth year on the throne.

Ailmon realised that he could not trust anyone in his court anymore and quickly grew paranoid of his vassals. He neared madness as he ordered the execution of anyone he deemed to be dangerous.

Death
Eventually, the fear of death caused the members of the council to unite against the mad ruler. A plot was formed against the emperor, with nearly all nobles supporting the cause.

Emperor Ailmon I was poisoned during the late hours of Artyrian 34, 955 AF. He died alone in his chambers and his body was not discovered until the next morning.

Aftermath
Ailmon 's death ended up causing the partitioning of The Augurian Empire and might have been the greatest tragedy in the history of Luto.

No one spoke of the emperor's death and he was buried in Deakus in his father's crypt.
