Godric Edvardsson Ruric also known as Godric I reigned as Duke of Morsgrad from the years 1733 onto current date. Most notable for reviving the Rurikid house into a dominate force like it was during the days of Seahelm, as well as declaring war onto the Orenian Empire to halt aggressive Orenian expansionism in the independent states. Godric is also credited for founding the Alliance of the Independent States, an alliance that would face off against the Orenian Empire in the Rubern War shorty after its establishment.
History
Godric Edvardsson Ruric was born in the Ruric Capital of Morsgrad to Earl Edvard II and Freya Fiscere. Godric was raised in the ways of a traditional Ruric, through the art of swordsmanship and general horseback, although Godric would take a serious interest in writing and history, much like his kinsmen Alvar Ruric a previous King of Norland. Godric would become considered somewhat a genius by the people in Morsgrad, and Godric quickly began to use such skills in court. At the tender age of 18 Godric had taken up most of the courtly duties whilst his father was away on political dealings.
Godric would then assume the title of Duke of Morsgrad after the death of his father during a duel in the Great Hall of Morsgrad. Godric would quickly enact a series of reforms marking for a slow restructuring of the Morsgradic military, law system, economy, and lastly a taxation system that all landowner would have to abide to in order to maintain their residence. Godric for the majority of his few years spent most of his time preparing Morsgrad incase of war, as numerous allies of Godric had felt under the threat of possible Imperial expansionism. Godric would call upon all Independent States to a meeting in an unknown location, where they would discuss the very much real possibility of war with the Imperials, as war seemed to be upcoming. Godric was rather sceptical of throwing Morsgrad into a war with the Imperials, due to the sheer lack of numbers Morsgrad could produce for wartime. Godric would spend months off recruiting soldiers from the countryside, and vassalizing numerous minor barons and Earls to be placed under Morsgradic protection.
