Regnal name of Thorgils Tarjeisson.

Ancestry

Reign

In 1642, having loyally served Kaiser Hjalmar Redquill for four Elw years (1639-1642), Thorgils unexpectedly received the departing Kaiser's nomination and blessing to ascend to the Mango Throne. As the nomination was uncontested, the process of subjecting the nomination to a vote in the Landsraad was foregone and Thorgils ascended to the Kaisership as Kaiser Dominus Tarjeisson.

After establishing his government and trimming back the power of the Imperial Household, Thorgils celebrated his good fortune by beginning negotiations for the contracting of a dual marriage alliance with the Lordship of Blackstone and the Emirate of Sathrati. The Lord of Blackstone offered up Lena Verion, albeit with a hefty price-tag, and rejected the Kaiser's counter-offer that the marriage would be in lieu of an invasion.

Whilst Western Benacia held his attention, the Kaiser also became aware of reports emerging from the ungoverned regions beyond the borders of Amokolia concerning a conflict between surviving populations of Batavians and Puritanians on the one hand and robotic forces believed to be controlled by a rogue RasmOS terminal. Intrigued, and determined to remove any strategic threat to the Imperial Republic, he commissioned Laqi Hyrrion, the luckless ambassador to Minarboria and reluctant revenant, to lead the expedition into Dietsland to make contact with the native groups and to organise a more effective resistance under the Imperial Banner. Unexpectedly the expedition also encountered a group of far-flung Kildari refugees who had fled the continuing Jingdaoese occupation of their homeland. Laqi's mission was further complicated by the news that agents of the Lord of Blackstone and the Iron Company had established a sizeable presence on a peninsular jutting out from the southern shore of Dietsland. Nonetheless, to ensure that there could be no failure, the Kaiser had informed Laqi that he would be punished with bodily disintegration if he failed to return with anything less than complete success.

More rewarding were efforts to formalise the governance of the Tellian Condominium, which resulted in the signing of the Cedar Charter early in the Kaiser's reign, which cleared the way for the deployment of the Cedrocomando S.A. to secure the area.

On the domestic front, the Kaiser continued the work of his predecessor by signing the Elwynn River & Imperial Infrastructure Accords which, amongst other things, placed the greater part of the length of the River Elwynn, including the entirety of the Red Elwynn between Shirekeep and Musica under Imperial Jurisdiction.

Also in his first year, Kaiser Dominus undertook a state visit to [ Constancia] marking the first occasion of formal relations being established with the Euran Realm beyond the cursory exchanges that had denoted the prior state of mutual recognition. Constancia had earned much in the way of admiration during the Kaisership of Hjalmar by resisting a Jingdaoese invasion.

During the reign of Kaiser Dominus, it became official custom and practice to combine the AN and ASC calendars with the former being the 'long count' year and the ASC year being the 'short count' increment of the AN year. Although not a perfect solution, it was hoped that, with time, the change would embed itself into the culture of Shireroth and help bring an end to narrative incongruities and the succession of tragic deaths caused by the unwary casually switching between chronologies and rapidly succumbing to the debilitating effects of Temporal Haemorrhaging.

His reign was characterised by a number of overseas visits including attending the ultimately inconclusive Shirerithian, Natopian and Alexandrian conference at the Palace of Whales in Walstadt (Cibola) and a state visit to Constancia, a small but increasingly Kingdom on the continent of Eura.

During his long absence during the Euran Voyage, the Kalirion Khanate, the Emirate of Alalehzamin & Utasia and the ESB-Jörmungandr Group began to gradually move their candidates into key positions commanding the troops and security forces tasked with the defence of the Imperial capital, Shirekeep, as the Imperial Forces and their allied militias suffered reverses at the hands of a coalition of rebel groups during Goldshire's civil war. At the same time, these manoeuvres caused subtle tensions to develop with the partisans of the houses of Simrani-Kalirion, Osman and House of Verion, all of whom felt entitled to a share of the patronage and revenues that came with holding the seat of the Imperial Government.
