Mateusz

The King of the Eastern Kingdom of Athol rules with a cruel dominion with his heir and son Saturoz as second in command. Envious of his counterpart Tobias, who thanks to alchemy has enjoyed an extended lifetime Mateusz has grown bitter over the years and in his desperation has manipulated by the succubus of the desert who has promised him a way to reverse his aging.

The Rise to Power

Mateusz usurped his father, poisoning the King and taking control of his fathers Kingdom but in his eyes, the land he inherited paled in comparison to the empire his ancestors once controlled. Mateusz allying with his neighbour, the King of Aydon quickly annexed many settlements in the region, enslaving entire races that fell under his dominion.

His military might grew and so did his ambition and quickly his eyes were drawn to the western world. To a frontier that even his forefathers could not conquer and to the illusive King Tobias of Kona, dubbed the King of Kings. A man who had lived for over five hundred years.

The Offer of an Enteral Lifetime

Mateusz wrote to his counterpart in Kona and asked him to tell him of his secret of his eternal life but when no helpful information was disclosed. Mateusz declared war on the west.

It was around this time that a mysterious woman appeared to him and offered him what he desired most but she herself would require something in return. The water found near the Elvish Glades. Blinded by such a gift, Mateusz agreed and launched a pre-emptive invasion on the elvish glades and with it gave orders to steal magical water that lay in the spring there.
