Augustus d'Amaury (10th of the Grand Harvest, 1501 – 21st of the Grand Harvest, 1547), known as both the Iron Duke in the Empire and Kazdorin (Common: Anvil) in Urguan, was an Imperial noble, general and statesman. He was titled Duke of Lorraine and later Archduke of Lorraine and Kaedrin. He was an adviser and general in the service of the kings Olivier de Savoie and Guy de Bar and finally (And most significantly) his friend, cousin and brother-in-law, Emperor John, serving on the latter's councils of both war and state as the acting Imperial field-marshal. Before his campaigning in the Eighteen Years' War against the dwarves, he was notorious for his controversial actions during the Dukes' War in repressing the Adrian rebels and for crushing victory at the Siege of Barrowyk and the Battle of the Blackwald. As a reward for these military successes, he was declared ruler of the former Adrian territories, taking the title Duke of Lorraine. Though he was by birth the second son of Duke Titus of Istria, upon his accession to the duchy he took the cadet name d'Amaury, establishing his own, separate dynasty.
A controversial figure, Augustus is remarked as being one of the greater generals of his generations, scoring numerous victories in both the Dukes' War and the Eighteen Years' War. He established his own dynastic line, the House of d'Amaury, having close marriages with both the House of Horen and House of Ashford and eventually gaining their own royal title in 1595. Following his death, he was pronounced a hero of humanity for his service to Emperor John I, though in life he fell under heavy scrutiny for his brutal actions against the Adrian rebels a mere few decades before. The festering tensions brought about by these actions would culminate in his lynching and death in the streets of the capital city a quarter of a century later in 1547, occurring nine days subsequent to the death of his liege and patron the Emperor.
