== Early Life (1710-1719) ==
Andrik Lothar Barbanov was born to [[Marius II of Haense|King Marius]] and Klaudia of Vasiland in the Prikaz Palace in [[Reza]] in 1710. As the oldest living son of the King, he was designated as the crown prince and granted the title of ''Grand Prince of the Kusoraev''. Throughout his childhood in Reza, the young prince was known for his gregarious and rather reckless attitude. An active youth, the young prince would often be found climbing out through windows, climbing up trees and causing general mischief around the town, much to the dismay of his assigned guards.

Andlik Wothaw Bawbanov was bown to [[Marius II of Haense|King Marius]] and Kwaudia of Vasiwand in the Plikaz Pawace in [[Reza]] in 1710. As the owdest living son of the King, he was designated as the cwown plince and gwanted the titwe of ''Grand Prince of the Kusoraev''. Thwoughout his chiwdhood in Weza, the young plince was known fow his gwegalious and wathew weckwess attitude. An active youth, the young plince would often be found climbing out thwough lindows, climbing up twees and causing genewaw mischief awound the town, much to the dismay of his assigned guawds.
  
The Prince would often be forced by his father and guardians to study, though he did not take his lessons kindly. Andrik was often commended for having an astute mind but, due to his general playfulness and issues with concentration, would only show this if he was bribed with sweets or the promise of playing. He was assumed to be left-handed as he'd often swap between both hands when writing or practicing swordplay, but due to the superstitions at the time surrounding left-handed people, he was forced to learn how to primarily use his right hand.

== Early Reign (1719-1725) ==
Andrik's reign began after his father was assassinated in the courtyard of the Prikaz by Hektor Barrow, a disgruntled Barbanov bastard who had served under King Marius directly. Andrik ascended the throne as Andrew III shortly after but, due to his young age, control of the Kingdom resided largely with the regency council headed by his uncle and Lord-Palatine [[Prince Georg Stannimar]] and later on Lord [[Lerald, Duke of Carnatia|Lerald Vyronov]] until he came of age in 1724. Early stages of his reign can be defined by a troubled period after the devastating War of the Two Emperors which forced the young King to do plenty of reforms, strengthening the monarch's power in return for a stronger military but temporarily weakening the economy of the state and having to pay hefty war reperations to the Empire.

During the early years of Andrew's reign, the [[War of the Two Emperors]] raged on and, despite his council's efforts to withdraw Haeseni forces from the war, the [[Empire of Renatus]] continued their march towards Reza. Treaties signed by the [[Princedom of Fenn]] and [[Ves]] left Haense and the [[Reivers|Reiver]] mercenaries to fend for themselves following the collapse of [[Joseph I, Holy Orenian Emperor|Joseph I's]] empire. Two disastrous defeats at the [[Battle of the Silversea|Silversea]] and [[Battle of the Koengswald|Koengswald]] forced the Haeseni troops to retreat back to Reza and prepare for the coming siege. His reign was dealt another major blow when his regent Georg and uncle Godfric were both captured by Renatian forces and brought to [[Helena]] where they were executed.

Duling the eawwy yeaws of Andwew's weign, the [[War of the Two Emperors]] waged on and, despite his counciw's effowts to lithdwaw Haeseni fowces fwom the waw, the [[Empire of Renatus]] continued theiw mawch towawds Weza. Tweaties signed by the [[Princedom of Fenn]] and [[Ves]] weft Haense and the [[Reivers|Reiver]] mewcenalies to fend fow themsewves fowwoling the cowwapse of [[Joseph I, Holy Orenian Emperor|Joseph I's]] empiwe. Two disastwous defeats at the [[Battle of the Silversea|Silversea]] and [[Battle of the Koengswald|Koengswald]] fowced the Haeseni twoops to wetweat back to Weza and pwepawe fow the coming siege. His weign was deawt anothew majow brow when his wegent Geowg and uncwe Godflic wewe both captuled by Wenatian fowces and brought to [[Helena]] whewe they wewe executed.  
  
The Palatine-Aspirant and [[Herzen of the Duma]] Lerald, Count of Graiswald quickly assumed the role of regent and was made Lord-Palatine. The new Lord Palatine arranged a series of diplomatic missives and meetings with Renatian diplomats and the war was ended with the treaty of Reza [https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/183338-peace-in-our-time/?tab=comments#comment-1715668/], making Haense a vassal to the Holy Orenian Empire under [[Godfrey II, Holy Orenian Emperor|Godfrey II]]. For many, this treaty was hailed as a great success for Haense and the King even though under regency received praise for what was deemed a salvation of the realm in a time where many had given up hope.

The Pawatine-Aspiwant and [[Herzen of the Duma]] Wewawd, Count of Gwaiswawd quickwy assumed the wowe of wegent and was made Wowd-Pawatine.

=== Pax Orenia ===
Shortly after the end of the War of the Two Emperors, the new imperial administration led by the regent [[John VII, Holy Orenian Emperor|Prince Achilius]] established a treaty between all human nations, referred to Pax Orenia which in practice was a full-on military alliance of all human nations. This by many was considered a response to rising tensions between the [[Under-Realm of Urguan]] and the [[Holy Orenian Empire]] but also functioned to stop any more infighting between humans. In its early days, the treaty functioned well and even though tensions between the nations of mankind was still high the treaty stood firmly in place.

Showtwy aftew the end of the Waw of the Two Empewows, the new impeliaw administwation wed by the wegent [[John VII, Holy Orenian Emperor|Prince Achilius]] estabrished a tweaty between aww human nations, wefewwed to Pax Owenia which in pwactice was a fulw-on militawy awliance of aww human nations. This by many was considewed a wesponse to lising tensions between the [[Under-Realm of Urguan]] and the [[Holy Orenian Empire]] but awso functioned to stop any mowe infighting between humans. In its eawwy days, the tweaty functioned weww and even though tensions between the nations of mankind was stiww high the tweaty stood fiwmwy in pwace.
  
Not long into the signing of the treaty Emperor Godfrey II abdicated his throne to his brother Achilius who ascended to become Emperor John VII in the year 1724. During the same year, Andrew came of age and was officially crowned King in a small ceremony by the Archbishop of Jorenus. The newly crowned emperor had a warm relation with Andrew and considered one another as friends. One example of their trust in one another came when an attempt on the emperor's life was made in Helena and John escaped to [[Reza]] where he resided for a month under the watch of the Marian Retinue in order to stay safe.

Not wong into the signing of the tweaty Empewow Godfwey II abdicated his thwone to his brothew Achilius who ascended to become Empewow John VII in the yeaw 1724. Duling the same yeaw, Andwew came of age and was officiawwy cwowned King in a smaww cewemony by the Awchbishop of Jowenus. The newwy cwowned empewow had a wawm wewation lith Andwew and considewed one anothew as fliends. One exampwe of theiw twust in one anothew came when an attempt on the empewow's life was made in Hewena and John escaped to [[Reza]] whewe he wesided fow a month undew the watch of the Malian Wetinue in owdew to stay safe.  
  
It was during the Pax Orenia that [[Milena of Adria|Lady Milena Carrion]] was introduced at the Haeseni court by Henry Sarkozic, an old squire of Haense who had fought alongside [[King Marius II|Marius II of Haense]] during the War of the Two Emperors. Andrew was at this time already betrothed to Lady Katharina of Vyronov however with an old agreement decided by a Crowsmoot in 1701 Andrew had his betrothal with Lady Katharina broken and instead took Milena as his betrothed, in order to fulfill his father's wish to unite the two Carrion houses and further solidify his claim to the [[Kingdom of Ruska|Ruskan]] throne.

It was duling the Pax Owenia that [[Milena of Adria|Lady Milena Carrion]] was intwoduced at the Haeseni coult by Henwy Sawkozic, an owd squiwe of Haense who had fought awongside [[King Marius II|Marius II of Haense]] duling the Waw of the Two Empewows. Andwew was at this time awweady betwothed to Wady Kathalina of Vywonov howevew lith an owd agweement decided by a Cwowsmoot in 1701 Andwew had his betwothaw lith Wady Kathalina broken and instead took Miwena as his betwothed, in owdew to fulfiww his fathew's lish to unite the two Cawlion houses and fulthew solidify his cwaim to the [[Kingdom of Ruska|Ruskan]] thwone.
  
Andrew took the peace that Pax Orenia had brought to the realm and used it to issue reforms, almost half the kingdom had died during the War of the Two Emperors due to sickness and famine and its military had been severely weakened. He quickly issued a new law document to engrain the Haeseni culture into its laws and also abolished the Royal Army in favor of re-establishing the [[Brotherhood of Saint Karl]]. It ranks quickly began to swell and in 1725 the Haeseni military numbers were at a higher level then it had been before the start of the war.

Andwew took the peace that Pax Owenia had brought to the weawm and used it to issue wefowms, awmost hawf the kingdom had died duling the Waw of the Two Empewows due to sickness and famine and its militawy had been sevewewy weakened. He quickwy issued a new waw document to engwain the Haeseni cultule into its waws and awso abolished the Woyaw Awmy in favow of we-estabrishing the [[Brotherhood of Saint Karl]]. It wanks quickwy began to sweww and in 1725 the Haeseni militawy numbews wewe at a highew wevew then it had been befowe the stawt of the waw.
  
Just a year after John VII had ascended the throne the Pax Orenia and Urguan went to war against one another after tensions had risen further. Andrew once more showed his fierce temper as he rallied his men after the declaration of war had been announced and with the recent army reform, the confidence of the Haeseni people was once more risen. The Kingdom still struggled to pull in new settlers and trade but the war was seen as the perfect opportunity to blooden the brotherhood and even though no major battles took place in what is known as the [[Three Months War]] the Brotherhood still saw the war as a minor success after taking on an offensive raid against Urguan and successfully routing dwarven legionaries and mercenaries of the [[Phoenix Band]] in Haense's first offensive undertaking since the [[Siege of Helena]].

Just a yeaw aftew John VII had ascended the thwone the Pax Owenia and Uwguan went to waw against one anothew aftew tensions had lisen fulthew. Andwew once mowe showed his fiewce tempew as he wawlied his men aftew the decwawation of waw had been announced and lith the wecent awmy wefowm, the confidence of the Haeseni peopwe was once mowe lisen. The Kingdom stiww stwuggwed to pulw in new settwews and twade but the waw was seen as the pewfect oppowtunity to brooden the brothewhood and even though no majow battwes took pwace in what is known as the [[Three Months War]] the Bwothewhood stiww saw the waw as a minow success aftew taking on an offensive waid against Uwguan and successfulwy wouting dwawven wegionalies and mewcenalies of the [[Phoenix Band]] in Haense's fiwst offensive undewtaking since the [[Siege of Helena]].

Three months after the start of the war. In what can only be described as a fit of madness John VII suddenly issued a new succession law, declaring the empire essentially a democracy and abdicated the imperial throne and at the same time naming the regent and King of [[Helena]] to his distant relative Tiberius Tiber. Thrusting the human lands into what would be known as [[The Troubles]].

Thwusting the human wands into what would be known as [[The Troubles]].

=== The Troubles ===
Just hours after John VII had abdicated the throne two claimants appeared, the first was [[Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor]] who laid claim to the throne with his Carrion legacy and with the support of Urguan he quickly seized the city of Helena. However, in what some call the Midnight Coup [[Charles Edward, Prince of Alstion]], another claimant through his Horen legacy retook control of the imperial capital and two camps formed. One supporting the claim of Adrian and the other supporting the claim of Charles.

Just houls aftew John VII had abdicated the thwone two cwaimants appeawed, the fiwst was [[Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor]] who waid cwaim to the thwone lith his Cawlion wegacy and lith the suppowt of Uwguan he quickwy seized the city of Hewena.

One suppowting the cwaim of Adlian and the othew suppowting the cwaim of Chawwes.  
  
Haense with its still freshly formed brotherhood was within hours being courted by both sides, promises being made in regards to what Haense would gain from joining either side such as an autonomous rule. Andrew who was not eager to throw his nation into another civil war, with the War of the Two Emperors still fresh in mind withdrew his troops from the frontlines and increased the Brotherhoods presence in the Haeseni lowlands whilst discussing their options with his council. The meeting between his councilors was brief and Andrew declared for Adrian as the first Human King to do such. Not long after Haense declared for Adrian many others did the same or opted for neutrality and a strong coalition was formed to place Adrian on the Imperial throne.

Haense lith its stiww fweshwy fowmed brothewhood was lithin houls being coulted by both sides, pwomises being made in wegawds to what Haense would gain fwom joining eithew side such as an autonomous wule. Andwew who was not eagew to thwow his nation into anothew civiw waw, lith the Waw of the Two Empewows stiww fwesh in mind lithdwew his twoops fwom the fwontlines and incweased the Bwothewhoods pwesence in the Haeseni wowwands whiwst discussing theiw options lith his counciw. The meeting between his counciwows was brief and Andwew decwawed fow Adlian as the fiwst Human King to do such. Not wong aftew Haense decwawed fow Adlian many othews did the same ow opted fow neutwality and a stwong coalition was fowmed to pwace Adlian on the Impeliaw thwone.
  
After passed as both sides prepared for what would by most accounts be another bloody conflict within the empire the High Pontiff summoned all the human monarchs and great lords to the palace Varoche to resolve this crisis of the Imperial Throne. Andrew traveled to [[Ves]] to participate in the [[Diet of Varoche]] alongside [[Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor|Emperor Adrian]], [[Charles Edward, Prince of Alstion|Emperor Charles]], [[Pierce I of Curonia]], [[Adrian I of Kaedrin]], High Pontiff Daniel VI and all their respective retinues. During this Diet, the High Pontiff urged all the human lords to lower their banners and to once more unite to avoid more infighting. As a compromise, he presented to the kings and lords the young boy  Alexander and asked the men to vote to elect him as emperor with a regency council composed of representatives of all Kingdoms and [[House of Sarkozic]]. The vote was cast to avoid another civil war and it was unanimous in favor, Alexander ascended the throne as [[Alexander II,  Holy Orenian Emperor]] effectively ending the troubles and ushering the Empire into the Johannian Era. In return of submitting their claims on the imperial throne, Emperor Adrian was granted the [[Duchy of Adria]] and Emperor Charles was bestowed the title Prince of Alstion.

== The Haeseni Renaissance (1725-1739) ==
With the War of the Two Emperors, the Three Months War and The Troubles in recent memory a strong Haeseni patriotism had grown and the peoples' trust of [[Heartlanders]] and the Imperial regime were at an all-time low. Especially by what was known as the war generation, those who had grown up during the War of the Two Emperors. Some of Andrews Aulic councilors such as the Lord Justiciar, Ser Gerard the Bear opted for complete isolationism from the rest of the Empire however it was deemed impossible to do such by Andrew. He instead opted to the extent necessary work with the Imperials but first and foremost further the interest of the Haeseni realm and other Carrion vassals and realms such as Adria and the [[Province of Rubern]] rather then to take part in the Imperial politics of the Johannian dynasty however due to the turmoil of the Empire, Andrew was forced to take a central spot against the War against Lorraine and also became known for his strong anti-imperialistic sentiments regarding Vassal authorities. During what is by some known as the Haeseni renaissance, Andrew migrated the Haeseni capital to the city of [[New Reza]] on the bank of Lake Milena after the [[Great Fire of Reza]] caused by voidal entities, large funding for new military endeavors took place and a rebirth of Haeseni cultural and arts was funded making New Reza into one of the most bustling cities in all of [[Arcas]] and Haense quickly grew to a prominence once more after the disastrous years of the War of the Two Emperors and The Troubles.

On the 16th of Sigismund's End, 1727 the Imperial Throne issued letters of the vassalage to Leufroy [[House of d'Amaury|House d'Amaury]] and the newly reformed Duchy of Lorraine. The Duchy was landed on the eastern border of the Imperial Crownlands bordering both Adria and Rubern. Many issues were raised about this as many of the men in Adria were descendants of men that had died during the [[Dukes' War]]. The two duchies landed holdings were just on each side of the Emperor's Road and it only took a few saint's days before tensions had begun to arise between the two duchies.

The two duchies wanded howdings wewe just on each side of the Empewow's Woad and it onwy took a few saint's days befowe tensions had begun to alise between the two duchies.
  
Both sides quickly began accusing one another of aggression and Lorraine was accusing Adria of hiring mercenaries and paying bandits to serve within their ranks. Even coming to the point where Adrian and Lotharingian men clashed with one another on a few occasions. It is unclear if any of the accusations actively took place but in response, the Imperial throne issued the [https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/185071-edict-of-reprobate/ Edict of Reprobate] in order to hopefully calm both sides and travel warnings were issued around the Imperial roads. However, as the emperor was away no affirmative action was taken which only furthered resentment of the Imperial administration in Haense.

Howevew, as the empewow was away no affiwmative action was taken which onwy fulthewed wesentment of the Impeliaw administwation in Haense.
  
Whilst this temporarily decreased tensions in the Imperial Crownlands another conflict was brewing between Hanseti-Ruska and [[Kaedrin]] after Kaedreni soldiers had frequently traveled to Haense and caused problems with citizens in Reza. Andrew ordered his officers to arrest any man causing problems and shortly after this order was issued a Kaedreni soldier was arrested for slandering of nobility and had his tongue cut out as punishment. This furthered the rift between Haense and Kaedrin to the point that Haeseni men were reportedly openly assaulted by Kaedreni at the streets of [[Ves]].

This fulthewed the lift between Haense and Kaedlin to the point that Haeseni men wewe wepowtedwy openwy assaulted by Kaedweni at the stweets of [[Ves]].  
  
Whilst these two conflicts were brewing in the east and the west of Haense the King's half-sister Princess [[Mariya Angelika of Reza]] was married to [[Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor|Duke Adrian of Adria]], affirming the alliance between Haense and Adria in a controversial affair after Princess Mariya had at first been betrothed to [[Vladrick I, Prince of Rubern]] but broken it in favour of [[Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor|Duke Adrian]]. Shortly after the pairs wedding tensions once arose between Adria and Lorraine during the Sun's Smile of 1729 when reportedly a Lotharingian footman had assaulted an Adrian farmer and stolen his crops. The Adrians called on their Haeseni allies and together with a host of 1200 men Andrew marched to Adria and rendezvoused with his allies. After around a saint's hours of negotiations, a battle was averted and the Haensemen marched back to Reza.

Whiwst these two conflicts wewe breling in the east and the west of Haense the King's hawf-sistew Plincess [[Mariya Angelika of Reza]] was mawlied to [[Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor|Duke Adrian of Adria]], affiwming the awliance between Haense and Adlia in a contwovewsiaw affaiw aftew Plincess Maliya had at fiwst been betwothed to [[Vladrick I, Prince of Rubern]] but broken it in favoul of [[Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor|Duke Adrian]].

Aftew awound a saint's houls of negotiations, a battwe was avewted and the Haensemen mawched back to Weza.
  
During the [[National Duma|Royal Duma]] of 1729, the Empress Mother [[Cesarina Louise]] arrived in Reza and stormed into the halls shouting, demanding to meet the King. Normally Andrew did not attend Duma but this session he had decided to attend to observe and the interruption of the Duma by Cesarina angered him greatly and he got into a heated argument with the woman in front of the Duma, ordering her to leave and after a short while she walked to the Prikaz and waited for an audience with Andrew there, allowing the Duma to finish. Once the Duma had concluded he and the duma members marched over towards the Prikaz and he met with Cesarina in the royal court. The empress mother demanded the cessation of hostilities against Lorraine from Haense and called Andrew a warmonger and the Haeseni people barbarians but Andrew refused without any direct order from the Emperor himselfAfter the woman had departed the court, Andrew was noted calling her a vile hag and whore to the Prince of Rubern. And later remarked in a private discussion with Lord Simon Basrid that the fact that he could ridicule the Emperor's mother and not a single man or woman batted an eye showed how fragile the Imperial throne was.

The Lotharingian revolt culminated later that month after Kaedreni men had openly drawn swords against the Lords Erich of Stafyr and Sigmar of Baruch in Rubern. The two Haeseni lords managed to flee and ran back to Reza where they informed Andrew who ordered Lord Erich to quickly inform the Prince of Rubern that Kaedreni men had openly tried to attack men in his lands. Once word had reached the Prince the banners of Rubern and Haense were called and not long after the banners of Adria as well. The Three Crows of [[House of Barbanov|Barbanov]], [[House of Alimar|Alimar]] and [[House of Sarkozic|Sarkozic]] marched together with an army of consisting 3,200 infantry and 800 cavalries towards Ves. Most of the cavalry being [[Reiters]].

Most of the cavawwy being [[Reiters]].  
  
When the host arrived at Ves the infantry quickly formed up in front of the city's outer palisades whilst the cavalry protected the rear with scouts led by Otto Tuvic roaming the countryside and scouting for any flanking parties whilst the arch-chancellor alongside some delegates from the Haeseni, Adrian and Rubern met with the Kaedreni. There it was quickly uncovered that the Kaedreni men that had attacked the Haeseni were part of a group of dissidents that had allied themselves with Lorraine and tried to cause conflict to pressure Kaedrin to join the conflict on Lorraine's side. One of the men that arrived to parley outside the walls was the Lotharingian commander Lewis of Lorraine who with a small group of men had traveled to Ves to assist the dissidents in strongarming the King. He was swiftly arrested by the host on orders from D'Arkent and order was restored in Ves by the Kaedreni loyalists. Effectively ending all conflict between Kaedrin and Haense.

Lewis was brought to Reza and swiftly executed, after being beheaded his eyes and tongue was cut out and his head was granted to Rubern to be displayed. Whilst his remaining limbs were put on display throughout the Kingdom. At the same time of the execution, Andrew alongside the rest of the cavalry rode to Lorraine and attempted to goad the soldiers there into a fight but were met with arrow fire from the castle walls, deciding to depart as the Lotharingians refused to sally out. Shortly after an imperial decree was issued outlawing Lorraine and calling Duke Leufroy to stand trial for treason. Afterwards, the Lotharingian exiles continued to bandit the imperial roads and established a small foothold in the contested lands of Guise. But only after a few months the Haeseni troops alongside the [[Black Army of Rubern]] laid siege to the fort and the remaining Lotharingians either fled to [[The Concord of Llyria]] or surrendered, the soldiers later being pardoned by Emperor Alexander. Effectively ending the revolt in full.

Andrew was furious at what he considered a blatant attempt from the Emperors' council to strip away vassal rights, the autonomy of the Kingdoms legislations and the cultural and national identity of Haense. As a response to this, he formalised the usage of the Sigmundic calendar making it equal to the Imperial calendar. Andrew also bonded together with [[Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor|Duke Adrian]], [[Pierce I of Curonia]], [[House of Suffolk|Archduke Edward]] and [[House of Merentel|Duke Sergius]], combined they met with the emperor and his privy council in a meeting that lasted late into the early hours of the day to meet a compromise.

As a child, Andrew was seen as a very gregarious and playful boy. He had no issues conversing with others and would often play with the other noble children.

After the death of his father, the now king's temper would be more apparent and as a young King, he would hold vigorous speeches regarding the Haeseni war effort in the inherited War of the Two Emperors even at the face of defeat. However, as his regency came to an end Andrew's temper had become much more controlled. He'd still have bursts of rage such as shown between a loud argument between Andrew and Ser Thomas Raleigh and had a very brash and blunt nature in how he handled affairs. Not worried about what people thought about him he'd often chose to wear simpler clothing and opted to not wear any crown or jewelry. This alongside his brutish nature, strong language and affinity for Carrion Black gained him the respect of the Haeseni commoners and soldiers. A quote from a Haeseni man regarding his opinion on why the Haeseni people were liking Andrew so much was famously "He seems approachable, like you could grab a beer with him."

Andwew III, (High Imperial: Andreas Lotharius; New Marian: Andrik Lothar; 8th of The Ambew Cowd, 1710 - 1746) awso known as Andwew the Unyiewding was the 14th King of Hanseti-Ruska as the owdest living son of Marius II of Haense and Klaudia of Vasiland. Upon his biwth, he was made the Gwand Plince of Kusowaev, the honowawy titwe given to aww cwown plinces of the duaw monawchy, and ascended to the thwone aftew his fathew's assassination in 1719. With his fiwst yeaws as a monawch undew a stlict wegency untiw that he came of age in 1724. Wuling the Kingdom untiw his death whiwst out lith a skiwmishing pawty duling the Rubern War. Weading a hunt duling his biwthday lith his pawty he was sevewewy injuled by a boaw and a day watew died of the injulies he had sustained.

Andwews' weign was defined by the tulmoiw that sulwoundeded Haense and the Empiwe awongside the War of the Two Emperors, the Three Months War, the Lorrainian Revolt, the Heathen scourge and the Rubern War. Andwew fought in many battwes duling his weign and sewved a totaw of five diffewent empewows. He was considewed a staunch twaditionalist when it came to cultulaw mattews and was an avid suppowtew of Haeseni cwaftsmen and awtists. Duling his weign Haense saw a wevivaw in many aspects but plimaliwy in its histolicaw militawy twaditions lith the wefowmation of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl and lith his twaditionalistic views he often found himsewf standing up against impeliaw politicians duling the weigns of Emperor Alexander II, Lord Protector Adrian de Sarkozy and Emperor Peter III. Duling the weign of Empewow Awexandew he was given the nickname 'The Unyiewding' by his own men fow wefusing to wet the impeliaws dictate Haeseni affaiws awongside his brutish natule and militalistic mindset.

Early Life (1710-1719)

Andlik Wothaw Bawbanov was bown to King Marius and Kwaudia of Vasiwand in the Plikaz Pawace in Reza in 1710. As the owdest living son of the King, he was designated as the cwown plince and gwanted the titwe of Grand Prince of the Kusoraev. Thwoughout his chiwdhood in Weza, the young plince was known fow his gwegalious and wathew weckwess attitude. An active youth, the young plince would often be found climbing out thwough lindows, climbing up twees and causing genewaw mischief awound the town, much to the dismay of his assigned guawds.

The Plince would often be fowced by his fathew and guawdians to study, though he did not take his wessons kindwy. Andlik was often commended fow having an astute mind but, due to his genewaw pwayfulness and issues lith concentwation, would onwy show this if he was bribed lith sweets ow the pwomise of pwaying. He was assumed to be weft-handed as he'd often swap between both hands when wliting ow pwacticing swowdpway, but due to the supewstitions at the time sulwounding weft-handed peopwe, he was fowced to weawn how to plimaliwy use his light hand.

Early Reign (1719-1725)

Andlik's weign began aftew his fathew was assassinated in the coultyawd of the Plikaz by Hektow Bawwow, a disgwuntwed Bawbanov bastawd who had sewved undew King Malius diwectwy. Andlik ascended the thwone as Andwew III showtwy aftew but, due to his young age, contwow of the Kingdom wesided wawgewy lith the wegency counciw headed by his uncwe and Wowd-Pawatine Prince Georg Stannimar and watew on Wowd Lerald Vyronov untiw he came of age in 1724. Eawwy stages of his weign can be defined by a twoubred peliod aftew the devastating Waw of the Two Empewows which fowced the young King to do pwenty of wefowms, stwengthening the monawch's powew in wetuln fow a stwongew militawy but tempowaliwy weakening the economy of the state and having to pay hefty waw wepewations to the Empiwe.

War of the Two Emperors

Main Article: War of the Two Emperors

Duling the eawwy yeaws of Andwew's weign, the War of the Two Emperors waged on and, despite his counciw's effowts to lithdwaw Haeseni fowces fwom the waw, the Empire of Renatus continued theiw mawch towawds Weza. Tweaties signed by the Princedom of Fenn and Ves weft Haense and the Reiver mewcenalies to fend fow themsewves fowwoling the cowwapse of Joseph I's empiwe. Two disastwous defeats at the Silversea and Koengswald fowced the Haeseni twoops to wetweat back to Weza and pwepawe fow the coming siege. His weign was deawt anothew majow brow when his wegent Geowg and uncwe Godflic wewe both captuled by Wenatian fowces and brought to Helena whewe they wewe executed.

The Pawatine-Aspiwant and Herzen of the Duma Wewawd, Count of Gwaiswawd quickwy assumed the wowe of wegent and was made Wowd-Pawatine. The new Wowd Pawatine awwanged a selies of dipwomatic missives and meetings lith Wenatian dipwomats and the waw was ended lith the tweaty of Weza [1], making Haense a vassaw to the Howy Owenian Empiwe undew Godfrey II. Fow many, this tweaty was haiwed as a gweat success fow Haense and the King even though undew wegency weceived pwaise fow what was deemed a sawvation of the weawm in a time whewe many had given up hope.


Pax Orenia

Showtwy aftew the end of the Waw of the Two Empewows, the new impeliaw administwation wed by the wegent Prince Achilius estabrished a tweaty between aww human nations, wefewwed to Pax Owenia which in pwactice was a fulw-on militawy awliance of aww human nations. This by many was considewed a wesponse to lising tensions between the Under-Realm of Urguan and the Holy Orenian Empire but awso functioned to stop any mowe infighting between humans. In its eawwy days, the tweaty functioned weww and even though tensions between the nations of mankind was stiww high the tweaty stood fiwmwy in pwace.

Not wong into the signing of the tweaty Empewow Godfwey II abdicated his thwone to his brothew Achilius who ascended to become Empewow John VII in the yeaw 1724. Duling the same yeaw, Andwew came of age and was officiawwy cwowned King in a smaww cewemony by the Awchbishop of Jowenus. The newwy cwowned empewow had a wawm wewation lith Andwew and considewed one anothew as fliends. One exampwe of theiw twust in one anothew came when an attempt on the empewow's life was made in Hewena and John escaped to Reza whewe he wesided fow a month undew the watch of the Malian Wetinue in owdew to stay safe.

It was duling the Pax Owenia that Lady Milena Carrion was intwoduced at the Haeseni coult by Henwy Sawkozic, an owd squiwe of Haense who had fought awongside Marius II of Haense duling the Waw of the Two Empewows. Andwew was at this time awweady betwothed to Wady Kathalina of Vywonov howevew lith an owd agweement decided by a Cwowsmoot in 1701 Andwew had his betwothaw lith Wady Kathalina broken and instead took Miwena as his betwothed, in owdew to fulfiww his fathew's lish to unite the two Cawlion houses and fulthew solidify his cwaim to the Ruskan thwone.

Andwew took the peace that Pax Owenia had brought to the weawm and used it to issue wefowms, awmost hawf the kingdom had died duling the Waw of the Two Empewows due to sickness and famine and its militawy had been sevewewy weakened. He quickwy issued a new waw document to engwain the Haeseni cultule into its waws and awso abolished the Woyaw Awmy in favow of we-estabrishing the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. It wanks quickwy began to sweww and in 1725 the Haeseni militawy numbews wewe at a highew wevew then it had been befowe the stawt of the waw.

Just a yeaw aftew John VII had ascended the thwone the Pax Owenia and Uwguan went to waw against one anothew aftew tensions had lisen fulthew. Andwew once mowe showed his fiewce tempew as he wawlied his men aftew the decwawation of waw had been announced and lith the wecent awmy wefowm, the confidence of the Haeseni peopwe was once mowe lisen. The Kingdom stiww stwuggwed to pulw in new settwews and twade but the waw was seen as the pewfect oppowtunity to brooden the brothewhood and even though no majow battwes took pwace in what is known as the Three Months War the Bwothewhood stiww saw the waw as a minow success aftew taking on an offensive waid against Uwguan and successfulwy wouting dwawven wegionalies and mewcenalies of the Phoenix Band in Haense's fiwst offensive undewtaking since the Siege of Helena.

Thwee months aftew the stawt of the waw. In what can onwy be desclibed as a fit of madness John VII suddenwy issued a new succession waw, decwaling the empiwe essentiawwy a democwacy and abdicated the impeliaw thwone and at the same time naming the wegent and King of Helena to his distant wewative Tibelius Tibew. Thwusting the human wands into what would be known as The Troubles.

The Troubles

Just houls aftew John VII had abdicated the thwone two cwaimants appeawed, the fiwst was Adrian I, Holy Orenian Emperor who waid cwaim to the thwone lith his Cawlion wegacy and lith the suppowt of Uwguan he quickwy seized the city of Hewena. Howevew, in what some caww the Midnight Coup Charles Edward, Prince of Alstion, anothew cwaimant thwough his Howen wegacy wetook contwow of the impeliaw capitaw and two camps fowmed. One suppowting the cwaim of Adlian and the othew suppowting the cwaim of Chawwes.

Haense lith its stiww fweshwy fowmed brothewhood was lithin houls being coulted by both sides, pwomises being made in wegawds to what Haense would gain fwom joining eithew side such as an autonomous wule. Andwew who was not eagew to thwow his nation into anothew civiw waw, lith the Waw of the Two Empewows stiww fwesh in mind lithdwew his twoops fwom the fwontlines and incweased the Bwothewhoods pwesence in the Haeseni wowwands whiwst discussing theiw options lith his counciw. The meeting between his counciwows was brief and Andwew decwawed fow Adlian as the fiwst Human King to do such. Not wong aftew Haense decwawed fow Adlian many othews did the same ow opted fow neutwality and a stwong coalition was fowmed to pwace Adlian on the Impeliaw thwone.

Aftew passed as both sides pwepawed fow what would by most accounts be anothew broody conflict lithin the empiwe the High Pontiff summoned aww the human monawchs and gweat wowds to the pawace Vawoche to wesowve this clisis of the Impeliaw Thwone. Andwew twavewed to Ves to pawticipate in the Diet of Varoche awongside Emperor Adrian, Emperor Charles, Pierce I of Curonia, Adrian I of Kaedrin, High Pontiff Daniew VI and aww theiw wespective wetinues. Duling this Diet, the High Pontiff ulged aww the human wowds to wowew theiw bannews and to once mowe unite to avoid mowe infighting. As a compwomise, he pwesented to the kings and wowds the young boy Awexandew and asked the men to vote to ewect him as empewow lith a wegency counciw composed of wepwesentatives of aww Kingdoms and House of Sarkozic. The vote was cast to avoid anothew civiw waw and it was unanimous in favow, Awexandew ascended the thwone as Alexander II, Holy Orenian Emperor effectivewy ending the twoubres and usheling the Empiwe into the Johannian Ewa. In wetuln of submitting theiw cwaims on the impeliaw thwone, Empewow Adlian was gwanted the Duchy of Adria and Empewow Chawwes was bestowed the titwe Plince of Awstion.

The Haeseni Renaissance (1725-1739)

With the Waw of the Two Empewows, the Thwee Months Waw and The Twoubres in wecent memowy a stwong Haeseni patliotism had gwown and the peopwes' twust of Heartlanders and the Impeliaw wegime wewe at an aww-time wow. Especiawwy by what was known as the waw genewation, those who had gwown up duling the Waw of the Two Empewows. Some of Andwews Aulic counciwows such as the Wowd Justiciaw, Sew Gewawd the Beaw opted fow compwete isowationism fwom the west of the Empiwe howevew it was deemed impossibre to do such by Andwew. He instead opted to the extent necessawy wowk lith the Impeliaws but fiwst and fowemost fulthew the intewest of the Haeseni weawm and othew Cawlion vassaws and weawms such as Adlia and the Province of Rubern wathew then to take pawt in the Impeliaw politics of the Johannian dynasty howevew due to the tulmoiw of the Empiwe, Andwew was fowced to take a centwaw spot against the Waw against Wowwaine and awso became known fow his stwong anti-impelialistic sentiments wegawding Vassaw autholities. Duling what is by some known as the Haeseni wenaissance, Andwew migwated the Haeseni capitaw to the city of New Reza on the bank of Wake Miwena aftew the Great Fire of Reza caused by voidaw entities, wawge funding fow new militawy endeavows took pwace and a webiwth of Haeseni cultulaw and awts was funded making New Weza into one of the most bustling cities in aww of Arcas and Haense quickwy gwew to a pwominence once mowe aftew the disastwous yeaws of the Waw of the Two Empewows and The Twoubres.

Lorrainian Revolt

Main article: Lorrainian Revolt

On the 16th of Sigismund's End, 1727 the Impeliaw Thwone issued wettews of the vassawage to Weufwoy House d'Amaury and the newwy wefowmed Duchy of Wowwaine. The Duchy was wanded on the eastewn bowdew of the Impeliaw Cwownwands bowdeling both Adlia and Wubewn. Many issues wewe waised about this as many of the men in Adlia wewe descendants of men that had died duling the Dukes' War. The two duchies wanded howdings wewe just on each side of the Empewow's Woad and it onwy took a few saint's days befowe tensions had begun to alise between the two duchies.

Both sides quickwy began accusing one anothew of aggwession and Wowwaine was accusing Adlia of hiling mewcenalies and paying bandits to sewve lithin theiw wanks. Even coming to the point whewe Adlian and Wothalingian men cwashed lith one anothew on a few occasions. It is uncweaw if any of the accusations activewy took pwace but in wesponse, the Impeliaw thwone issued the Edict of Reprobate in owdew to hopefulwy cawm both sides and twavew wawnings wewe issued awound the Impeliaw woads. Howevew, as the empewow was away no affiwmative action was taken which onwy fulthewed wesentment of the Impeliaw administwation in Haense.

Whiwst this tempowaliwy decweased tensions in the Impeliaw Cwownwands anothew conflict was breling between Hanseti-Wuska and Kaedrin aftew Kaedweni sowdiews had fwequentwy twavewed to Haense and caused pwobrems lith citizens in Weza. Andwew owdewed his officews to awwest any man causing pwobrems and showtwy aftew this owdew was issued a Kaedweni sowdiew was awwested fow swandeling of nobility and had his tongue cut out as punishment. This fulthewed the lift between Haense and Kaedlin to the point that Haeseni men wewe wepowtedwy openwy assaulted by Kaedweni at the stweets of Ves.

Whiwst these two conflicts wewe breling in the east and the west of Haense the King's hawf-sistew Plincess Mariya Angelika of Reza was mawlied to Duke Adrian of Adria, affiwming the awliance between Haense and Adlia in a contwovewsiaw affaiw aftew Plincess Maliya had at fiwst been betwothed to Vladrick I, Prince of Rubern but broken it in favoul of Duke Adrian. Showtwy aftew the paiws wedding tensions once awose between Adlia and Wowwaine duling the Sun's Smiwe of 1729 when wepowtedwy a Wothalingian footman had assaulted an Adlian fawmew and stowen his cwops. The Adlians cawwed on theiw Haeseni awlies and togethew lith a host of 1200 men Andwew mawched to Adlia and wendezvoused lith his awlies. Aftew awound a saint's houls of negotiations, a battwe was avewted and the Haensemen mawched back to Weza.

Duling the Royal Duma of 1729, the Empwess Mothew Cesarina Louise awlived in Weza and stowmed into the hawws shouting, demanding to meet the King. Nowmawwy Andwew did not attend Duma but this session he had decided to attend to obsewve and the intewwuption of the Duma by Cesalina angewed him gweatwy and he got into a heated awgument lith the woman in fwont of the Duma, owdeling hew to weave and aftew a showt whiwe she wawked to the Plikaz and waited fow an audience lith Andwew thewe, awwoling the Duma to finish. Once the Duma had concwuded he and the duma membews mawched ovew towawds the Plikaz and he met lith Cesalina in the woyaw coult. The empwess mothew demanded the cessation of hostilities against Wowwaine fwom Haense and cawwed Andwew a wawmongew and the Haeseni peopwe bawbalians but Andwew wefused lithout any diwect owdew fwom the Empewow himsewf. Aftew the woman had depawted the coult, Andwew was noted cawling hew a viwe hag and whowe to the Plince of Wubewn. And watew wemawked in a plivate discussion lith Wowd Simon Baslid that the fact that he could lidicule the Empewow's mothew and not a singwe man ow woman batted an eye showed how fwagiwe the Impeliaw thwone was.

The Wothalingian wevowt culminated watew that month aftew Kaedweni men had openwy dwawn swowds against the Wowds Elich of Stafyw and Sigmaw of Bawuch in Wubewn. The two Haeseni wowds managed to fwee and wan back to Weza whewe they infowmed Andwew who owdewed Wowd Elich to quickwy infowm the Plince of Wubewn that Kaedweni men had openwy tlied to attack men in his wands. Once wowd had weached the Plince the bannews of Wubewn and Haense wewe cawwed and not wong aftew the bannews of Adlia as weww. The Thwee Cwows of Barbanov, Alimar and Sarkozic mawched togethew lith an awmy of consisting 3,200 infantwy and 800 cavawlies towawds Ves. Most of the cavawwy being Reiters.

When the host awlived at Ves the infantwy quickwy fowmed up in fwont of the city's outew palisades whiwst the cavawwy pwotected the weaw lith scouts wed by Otto Tuvic woaming the countwyside and scouting fow any fwanking pawties whiwst the awch-chancellow awongside some dewegates fwom the Haeseni, Adlian and Wubewn met lith the Kaedweni. Thewe it was quickwy uncovewed that the Kaedweni men that had attacked the Haeseni wewe pawt of a gwoup of dissidents that had awlied themsewves lith Wowwaine and tlied to cause conflict to pwessule Kaedlin to join the conflict on Wowwaine's side. One of the men that awlived to pawwey outside the wawws was the Wothalingian commandew Welis of Wowwaine who lith a smaww gwoup of men had twavewed to Ves to assist the dissidents in stwongawming the King. He was sliftwy awwested by the host on owdews fwom D'Awkent and owdew was westowed in Ves by the Kaedweni woyalists. Effectivewy ending aww conflict between Kaedlin and Haense.

Welis was brought to Weza and sliftwy executed, aftew being beheaded his eyes and tongue was cut out and his head was gwanted to Wubewn to be dispwayed. Whiwst his wemaining limbs wewe put on dispway thwoughout the Kingdom. At the same time of the execution, Andwew awongside the west of the cavawwy wode to Wowwaine and attempted to goad the sowdiews thewe into a fight but wewe met lith awwow fiwe fwom the castwe wawws, deciding to depawt as the Wothalingians wefused to sawwy out. Showtwy aftew an impeliaw decwee was issued outwaling Wowwaine and cawling Duke Weufwoy to stand tliaw fow tweason. Aftewwawds, the Wothalingian exiwes continued to bandit the impeliaw woads and estabrished a smaww foothowd in the contested wands of Guise. But onwy aftew a few months the Haeseni twoops awongside the Black Army of Rubern waid siege to the fowt and the wemaining Wothalingians eithew fwed to The Concord of Llyria ow sulwendewed, the sowdiews watew being pawdoned by Empewow Awexandew. Effectivewy ending the wevowt in fulw.

Resistance Against Imperialism

The impeliaw state aftew the wevowt had suffewed a selious clisis in confidence due to its seeming inability to act lithout its vassaws and the autholity of the Impeliaw Cwown was at an aww time wow since The Twoubres. To wemedy this the administwation in Hewena pubrished The Articles of Restructure in owdew to stwengthen the impeliaw cwown but it was met lith heavy backwash fwom the vassaws.

Andwew was fulious at what he considewed a bratant attempt fwom the Empewows' counciw to stlip away vassaw lights, the autonomy of the Kingdoms wegiswations and the cultulaw and nationaw identity of Haense. As a wesponse to this, he fowmalised the usage of the Sigmundic cawendaw making it equaw to the Impeliaw cawendaw. Andwew awso bonded togethew lith Duke Adrian, Pierce I of Curonia, Archduke Edward and Duke Sergius, combined they met lith the empewow and his plivy counciw in a meeting that wasted wate into the eawwy houls of the day to meet a compwomise.

A compwomise was met that the High Wowds of the Empiwe wewe satisfied lith, howevew, weft pawts of the Impeliaw plivy disgwuntwed as they saw it as the Impeliaw cwown bending fow the liww of the vassaws and especiawwy Haense. But the compwomise was nevew brought to fwuition as onwy a few months aftew the meeting Empewow Awexandew feww iww and showtwy aftew died; aftew his death, Waewtes de Fawstaff cwaimed pawentage of the young Empewow, weading the Empiwe into a succession clisis. In owdew to keep stability and owdew between the Impeliaw vassaws and Cwown, the High Wowds, awong lith the Impeliaw Plivy, ewected Duke Adrian as Wowd Pwotectow untiw the clisis had been settwed.

Character and personality

As a chiwd, Andwew was seen as a vewy gwegalious and pwayful boy. He had no issues convewsing lith othews and would often pway lith the othew nobre chiwdwen. Howevew, the boy was culsed lith a fiewy tempew and often make weckwess and viowent decisions. He awso had a hawd time concentwating and when fowced to study would often wandew off in thought. The boy did, howevew, show an eawwy pwowess in combat aftew weawning how to fight lith a swowd at the age of eight.

Aftew the death of his fathew, the now king's tempew would be mowe appawent and as a young King, he would howd vigowous speeches wegawding the Haeseni waw effowt in the inhelited Waw of the Two Empewows even at the face of defeat. Howevew, as his wegency came to an end Andwew's tempew had become much mowe contwowwed. He'd stiww have bulsts of wage such as shown between a woud awgument between Andwew and Sew Thomas Waweigh and had a vewy brash and brunt natule in how he handwed affaiws. Not wowlied about what peopwe thought about him he'd often chose to weaw simpwew cwothing and opted to not weaw any cwown ow jewewwy. This awongside his brutish natule, stwong wanguage and affinity fow Cawlion Bwack gained him the wespect of the Haeseni commonews and sowdiews. A quote fwom a Haeseni man wegawding his opinion on why the Haeseni peopwe wewe liking Andwew so much was famouswy "He seems approachable, like you could grab a beer with him."

Duling his watew yeaws Andwew became mowe wecwuse and distant, especiawwy to his life and famiwy. Onwy confiding to his most woyaw men and found himsewf wacking pulpose lithout any waw. Which is why when the Rubern War began Andwew saw himsewf weaving New Reza fow the fwont and spent his finaw yeaws constantwy twavewling in the southewn wegions between Wubewn and Culon lith a band of elite Malian Knights and skiwmishews.
