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. By this time, the infamous Riga War had ended, 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 openly denounced the dissenters.
