Wiki Wednesday: Solon "The Wise" .13

Hi everyone,

We are back! With a new Wiki Wednesday and what an interesting wiki Wednesday this is going to be! After Alexos "The Wolf", this was the second character created for the world of Sagas. But now you wonder? Why is it only getting attention now, what took you so long? Good question, no answer, sorry.

But hey, the apologies have been made. Now some time to fix the mistakes of the past! Solon "The Wise", lord of the city of Nemis, de facto leader of the Nemisian League. A very interesting person, because of his high age he has lived under the rulership of four different emperors. He was alive when Graius "The Stupid" was murdered, he was there during the not so successful conquest of Tellaria by Aeson IV, and he ofcourse was the instigator of the Nemisian Civil War.

So let's start with the next Wiki Wednesday!

Biography

Solon “The Wise” was born in the year 130 in the city of Nemis as the son of Amanthyn “The Goblin Killer”. Solon got his nickname because he decided to make peace with the city of Eros instead of prolonging the devastating war which already killed thousands of inhabitants of the Realm of Eros.Solon is also known for having many sons by many wives. Famous children of Solon are: Ketimnon, Mnachon, Helios and Diana(his only daughter).

Nemisian Civil War

Lord Solon is most famous for starting the Nemisian Civil War against the Realm of Eros. For many years the city of Nemis was part of the Realm of Eros, and thrived being part of the great golden empire. But at the hands of the paramilitary movement the Ultrii, a movement started and led by his oldest son Abtenion, Solon increasingly moved towards the militaristic camp. The Ultrii saw a growing power in the city of Nemis and used this as leverage to persuade other great cities to join there Nemisian League in the senate of Eros.

After a while, this political power was not even enough for the ominous Abtenion, who persuaded his father to leave the Realm of Eros, for the greater good of Nemis. All the major cities and countries in the Realm of Eros took sides in this greatest conflict that the Empire of Eros had witnessed since its inception by the legendary Emperor Aeson. The cities of Malacis, Mykonis, Cadma, and Thidos quickly joined or had already joined the Nemisian League.

The first battle was won by the Nemisian fleet commanded by Ozius “The Rich” against the Imperial silver fleet of Herculon himself. This left the Imperial army immediately paralyzed as the seas were now the territory of the tiremes and penteconters of Nemis and Thidos. Nemis had struck his first strike, and had won it. As a result, Abtenion and Solon’s self-confidence rose to great heights. But this would ultimately be their downfall. Instead of evading the much more numerous and stronger army of Eros, Abtenion’s brother, Hephaelion, decided to seek the frontal attack against the combined forces of the Northern, Southern and Western armies of Eros.

Hephaelion’s army was crushingly defeated by Herculon and his Strategii Xenetor “The Cold” in the battle on the fields of Cortesis and Nemis’ land army was meaningless for the rest of the war. The battle on the fields of Cortesis also resulted in the death of Hephaelion by the hand of Polix “Bravehammer”.

Further life

After the war and the death of three of Solon’s sons, he never again took part in war activities and it is even allowed to say that Solon has become an advocate of peace.

Solon has an exceptionally close relationship with his younger brother Hymnon “The Negotiator”, who serves as the ambassador of the Nemisian League in the Senate of Eros.

Solon was granted 12 magical axes, known as the Axes of Falcos, from Wulfrik of the Valish lands in the year 202. With these 12 axes he armed his best soldiers and they formed his elite warriors which called themselves Solon’s Falcons.
