Emperor Avlos IV. of Naruny

Avlos was an emperor of Naruny, who was in term from the year 2318 until his death in the year 2356. Throughout his reign, he accomplished many great deeds and brought a time of peace and plenty to Naruny, for which he was known as "The good" by many.

Avlos was born in the year of 2288 in the city of Tereth. He grew up with his father Tatros, his mother Lenda and his little sister Malenna in the emperor's palace by the sea in Tereth, and often lived with his uncle Fendes in Nemis when his father was away directing armies during the war against Othrosia. Most of his childhood, Fendes was his teacher and Avlos learned much from him. When his mother died of a disease, he was just twelve years old, and so he and Malenna moved to Nemis, as their father was still busy at the front. One day, Tatros came back from the war and decided to take the 17 year old Avlos with him back to the front so that he would learn about commanding and leading men. Avlos however was horrified by the slaughter of thousands of people that during the war, but did not dare to show his true views on the war to his father. Avlos spent a few years fighting at the front of Othrosia, until Tatros sent him home again to learn about politics with Fendes. When Tatros was fighting at the front, Fendes was taking charge of managing the country. For four years, Avlos accompanied Fendes wherever he went and learned a lot about governing. Suddenly however, Tatros had been captured by Othrosian troops, who were in turn overrun by the Moracuns, a desert tribe, leaving no survivors. A little later, Avlos was crowned the new emperor of Naruny, the fourth of his name, aged 23. Angered at the Othrosians, he assembled an army and led a force through the empty steppes into Othrosia. At first, he seemed to be able to defeat them in little time, but soon, his force was stopped and didnt get any further. Thousands of people died in this war on both sides, until morale on both sides dropped very low. Finally, Avlos realizing how pointless the war was, made peace with the Othrosians and walked his men home. He also gave back land to the tribes of the steppes and the desert that his father had seized from them. In following years, trade in Naruny was bustling again, now that Naruny had begun trading with Othrosia and the Sefir league. For many years there was peace, and during these years, Avlos settled down in Tereth and married the duchess of Otarva, with whom he had three children; his sons Roven and Mador and his daughter Ylia.
