Augustus, Archduke of Lorraine

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, John I, Holy Orenian Emperor, 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 [[[The Dukes' War|Dukes' War]] in repressing the Adrian rebels. The festering tensions brought about by these actions would culminate in his lynching and death in 1547, occurring nine days subsequent to the death of his liege and patron the Emperor.

He is considered the best general of his generation by some historians, and one of the best generals ever. Although a tough leader, he was respected by his troops. The Iron Duke especially distinguished himself in the conquest of Avar during the Eighteen Years' War. He also distinguished himself in the Battle of Marnadal (1546), where he singlehandedly led the Imperial troops to victory over Dunamis raiders upon the plains of Vandoria.

He is best known for his actions against the revolt of Adria in the service of Olivier de Savoie, where he repeatedly defeated the troops of Hugues Sarkozic and later rebel leaders. He is also known for the brutalities during the capture of Brelus and Barrowyk. As a reward for these military successes, he was declared ruler of the former Adrian territories, taking the title Duke of Lorraine.
