Kaiser Aiomide

Line of Octavius

Aiomide Progenitor: Aiomide

Kaiser Aiomide was Kaiser of Shireroth, played by Octavius Me. His reign began in 5089 ASC, after the short and dramatic Shyriath stewardship which followed the abdication of the Golden Mango Throne by Mira Raynora Minor.

Election

Through Imperial Decree 610, Mira Raynora decreed that she would abdicate the throne, but not in favour of her recently-appointed Steward. Instead she stipulated that the "people of Shireroth" should select a Kaiser by "whatever means they deem fit". Under Article II of the Charter, it fell to the Landsraad to elect a Kaiser. Nominations and voting on the first Kaiserial election in Shirerithian history took place over around ten days, and the final result was six votes for Aiomide Oqtavion, four for his main rival Balarak Âlaion, one for Jonas, none for Warner Barentsz and two abstentions.

During the course of voting, Aiomide made a speech detailing his plans for the Kaisership and justifying his claim - the only nominee to do so, besides, perhaps, the Mad-Kaiser Mahamantot (Jonas). As an Elwynnese and in the context of the Cabbage Crisis, Aiomide saw the need to stress the mutually beneficial nature of Elwynn's close relationship with Shireroth as an Imperial State while distancing himself from the Eliria Clique. He pledged not to favour one group over another, and only time will tell whether his electoral promises will be adhered to.

Kaisership

Aiomide's rule saw the end of Cabbage Crisis, in which much of the city of Shirekeep was heavily damaged. Taking this as an opportunity, the Kaiser started investing into the history of the ancient capital and brought back much of the information about Raynor's Keep that was lost in time [1].

His rule saw the short-lived membership of Pangeus, an Imperial State on another world, before contact was once again lost. The representatives of the Pangeans, however, reacted on this situation by taking over the Kildarian administration. Taodosius I of Pangeus forced Dutchess Ignatia of her throne and took power in own hands.

It was in that period of chaos in Kildare, that the first news arrived of an invasion from the Apollonian plains into Kildare, which meant the start of the Garllic War. The Imperial Court, however, didn't react on the threat (yet), as it was seen to be the duty of the new Kildarian Dutch, Taodosius, to gather and lead the troops into combat.

Bloodline

While Aiomide initially claimed full membership in the Kalir bloodline, he broke his family away through Imperial Decree 635 to form the new Line of Octavius.
