Early life

Philip Frederick was born at Saint Adrian's Palace on 26 Amber Cold 1571.

Coalition War and Fall of the Empire

Template:See also With the inner turmoil of multiple human clans turning their backs on the Emperor (more specifically, familes of Ashford and Staunton, Philip was left to deal with a growing rebellion only shortly after his coronation. The issues with were planted in the times of his ancestors began to surface, and the third son raised monarch was left divided in both power and support. His drastic execution of Duke John Renald of Savoy would trigger a massive explosion of anti-Imperial sentiment (backed by the disenfranchised Dwarven nation) and soon minor lords began declaring open rebellion, supported financially by the former dukes of Savoy and Courland.

At first seen as a minor insurgency, the tides would turn at the disastrous Battle of the Gorge

After numerous bloody battles and defenses, Philip foresaw his Empire's eventual demise as the enemy drew near to the heart of Oren, eventually arriving and beginning the Siege of Johannesburg. In an act of defiance, he denied the Coalition the satisfaction of capturing the capital, Johannesburg, and instead detonated a massive thanium explosion - ending both the city's existence as well as his own, in addition to being a symbolic ending to such a long lasting Empire. Imperial loyalists viewed this as an honorable and defiant way to end the conflict while the Coalition viewed this as a petty and cowardly action.

Issue

Philip Frederick married Adelina Augusta de Savoie, sister of Duke John Renald of Savoy, to which he had three sons and one daughter with. After his death, majority of his children were sent into exile save Prince Peter, who ruled as the Duke of Mardon. His children returned when his eldest, once known as John Frederick, returned and restored in the Imperial Throne in 1613.
