Salvorian

Salvorian (born Edward An Lorson) was an erinian politician and the 27th Grand Protector of the Erinian Commonwealth.

Salvorian ruled during the intense later years of the Tripartite Crisis, where the two splinter commonwealths of Belcisia and Maretalia competed for legitimacy as well as the secessionist Vicahl Confederacy of Palnama that sought to break from Erinia. Through his military skill and a wide propaganda campaign, Victorianus managed to re-conquer these states within the first five years of his rule, bringing a swift end to the long crisis. The collapse of the Vicahl Confederacy lead to a war with the Amunavids over territory disputes in the east, which culminated with the peace of Lhynkis and the creation of the Council of Four.

He took over the tumultuous rule of Warton Krelm, who had bullied and suppressed his political enemies as well as tried to remake the commonwealth into an autocratic state. Victorianus decided to deny Krelm a posthumous name, something that had only been done once before, with Paul Nousen Gendelson. In 1217, Victorianus dissolved the CMSO, Krelm's suppressive police organization, and two years later created the Central Inspectory as its replacement.

An extremely militant ruler who served in times of rebellions and wars, Salvorian is remembered as one of the most unflinching and disciplined men to have ever taken up the mantle of the protector.

He died of a stroke in 1231 and was succeeded by Lucian.
