Mors I - Viviantia I - Mors II - Mors III |
The name taken by Shyriath as Kaiser of Shireroth from early January to late March 2005.
Early reign
Nearly all posts from the reign of Mors IV were lost in the EZPlague. The lack of direct evidence makes reconstruction of events difficult, but some documentation is provided in the form of the View from Benacia, a semiregular newsblog in production at the time; Issues 47 through approximately 76 cover the events of his time on the throne.
Duke of Brookshire at the time of his accession, Mors IV abdicated the Ducal throne upon becoming Kaiser and left it to his outgoing predecessor. He reportedly began his reign with an elaborate roleplay-style coronation post, the details of which are lost to time but which, beginning with him slamming open the doors of the throne room and striding in, firmly proclaimed the unbending, grim, death-obsessed persona that the Kaiser would strive to keep up throughout his time on the throne.
Early in the Kaiser's reign, he introduced the notion of an Imperial Ombudsman, a popularly-elected advisor to the Kaiser to serve as a safe conduit for public concerns. The idea was inspired as a means of healing the damage to trust in the Kaisership that had been done in the wake of the Alexandretta Rebellion. Eventually instituted in Imperial Decree 150, the process of identifying eligible voters, nominating candidates, and voting consumed the first third of Mors' time on the throne.
It was during the reign of Mors IV that the Arminian Ricch joined Shireroth. The Treaty of Arminsbur3, negotiated in secret between MiniEx Sir Iain de Vembria and his assistant Scott Alexander, was duly ratified by the Landsraad, and the nation was brought into the Imperial Republic as the Duchy of Arminy on January 26th, an act further formalized shortly thereafter in Imperial Decree 151. Elections to the post of the Ombudsman began at the same time as the annexation, eventually resulting in the close election of Harvey Steffke, and the national mood was jubilant, only slightly tempered by the nation's messageboard intermittently being rendered unavailable around the beginning of February.
The Lorelei Conflict
Between early- and mid-February, several recwars, including a civil war over Kildare's promotion of Shireroth's Apollonian heritage (it was at that time illegal to call Shireroth an Apollonian nation) were overshadowed by a more serious territorial dispute.
