John Owyn, also known as John III (Common: John Owyn; High Imperial: Johannes Ovenius; Savoyard: Johann Eugenio; Hansetian: Jan Owain) (2nd of the Sun's Smile, 1549 – 18th of the Sun's Smile, 1585), of the House of Horen, was the third Holy Orenian Emperor of the restored Fifth Empire since the abdication of his father, John II, in 1568. Under his reign, he remarkably finished a majority of the conquests of his grandsire, bringing both the human rebels and orcs to heel in the War of Orcish Submission and led a reign of subsequent peace. His untimely assassination by a plot orchestrated by his eldest son, however, would cause a great rift within the Empire and see all three of his sons upon the Imperial Throne in the Year of Four Emperors. He is commonly known as the Lion for his skill in both warfare and in the diplomatic table, heralded as one of the greater Johannian emperors since John I.
Biography
Early Life
John was born as John Owyn Horen to Emperor John II and his wife, Ari of Leone, at Anpalais on the 2nd of the Sun's Smile, 1549. Born shortly after his father's accession to the Imperial throne, he was quickly elevated as Prince of Alstion. Due to his father's shrinking mental capacity, John Owyn spent much of his time with his tutors, who educated the young man on the subjects of diplomacy and politics. Following his studies, John Owyn was entered into the Imperial army reserves as a squire to Lord Henry Rothesay, the famed fieldmarshal of the Empire's forces during the Eighteen Years' War, despite his mother's constant protests.
As John II's mental state continued to deteriorate, John Owyn was exposed to the difficult task of ruling as Prince Regent of the Empire. It was during this time that the infamous Riga War occurred, and despite John Owyn's best attempts, the defeated House of Staunton entered into rebellion with the Hetmanate of Krajia, who was supported by the Principality of Dreadlands. Many members of the noble estate, most notably those of Savoy, were discontent with John II's handling of the Riga War and the ensuing rebellion. Calls for John II's abdication grew, though John Owyn paid no attention to it. Eventually, on the 16th of the Deep Cold, 1568, John II resigned, officially raising John Owyn as Emperor John III.
