Barbarosa Rugner: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

Successor of the [[Sovereign Rune]], Barbarosa became the 17th Emperor of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] after victory in the [[War of Succession]].

Barbarosa was actually born the sixth son of Emperor [[Michelan Rugner|Michelan]] and as such was considered to have held no chance of succeeding the throne. As such, little attention was paid to the young Barbarosa's tutelage and he often played with commoner children and studied whatever he wished.

As such, little attention was paid to the young Barbarosa's tutelage, and he often played with commoner children and studied whatever he wished.

But as the years passed, two of Barbarosa's elder brothers fell ill and died to different diseases and Michelan worried his other sons had grown weak and corrupt from their pampering. And so, Michelan came to name Barbarosa as Crown Prince of the Scarlet Moon Empire.

Line 31:

Despite suffering early losses, including the death of his beloved wife, [[Claudia]], Barbarosa's forces soon rallied from their base at [[Pannu Yakuta Castle]] and secured the throne following a final battle at [[Gregminster]]. Heralded as a patriotic hero, he become known as the Golden Emperor for his benevolent rule in his early reign. He would occasionally take lunch with [[Milich Oppenheimer]], where the two would reminisce about Claudia.

However in [[Solar calendar|SY]] 449, he began to lose interest in his empire when he met the Court Magician, [[Windy]], who physically resembled his late wife. Using Barbarosa's love to her advantage, Windy used her magic to manipulate the empire and soon the nation lost faith in its government and its Emperor.
