Untred III. Chronicler
Untred III. he started in a time of peace, but it was a burdensome and unpleasant peace. The empire was still vast, but it increasingly lived in the shadow of its own past glory. The economy stagnated, people were getting paid less, and regulations were causing discontent. Untred brought further interventions into the economy, making many enemies among his subjects, but also helped the dwarves against the goblins and started the empire's greatest cultural project - the Great Chronicle of Magnursia. At the end of his life, he was affected by a disease of the limbs, which gradually paralyzed him. He died in an artificial sleep, leaving behind a work to remind the empire of what it once was.
Dynastic Information
Uncomfortable calm after stagnation
Untred III. he took over an empire that was not threatened by a major war, but its atmosphere was tense. Residents felt that the economy was not good, that money was scarce, and that harsh regulations were beginning to affect daily life. Untred brought more regulations, mainly on farmers and traders. He wanted to limit the seasonal increase in the price of certain articles and thus improve the lives of subjects and nobles, who could more easily resell the goods outside the empire. However, the result was not clear cut. This made him many enemies among the people, and his advisers excused it mainly because of his young age.
Help the dwarves
Untred was asked by the dwarves for military assistance against the goblins who had begun to threaten their eastern flank. The Emperor knew well that the dwarves were among the most reliable allies the empire had ever had, so he set aside two battalions to defend their kingdom. Thanks to this help, the dwarves defended their eastern flank. In return, they provided the Untred with a considerable amount of the finest metalwork they could produce. The event reaffirmed the importance of the old alliance between the empire and the dwarven lands.
The Great Chronicle of Magnursia
Untred's greatest life project was not military or administrative, but cultural. He had a giant chronicle of all of Magnursia begin to be written, from the foundation of the kingdom to his own time. He wanted to map not only the empire, but also pre-imperial history, to remind his people that they lived in something bigger than just a bureaucratic juggernaut. The work was to eventually exceed one hundred and fifty thousand pages and become the largest cultural project of the empire. Some events seem to have been edited to make the empire work better, but the significance of the chronicle has not been lost. Thanks to her, Untred became the ruler of memory, identity and historical image.
Armchair, paralysis and the silent end
At the end of his life, Untred began to suffer from a disease of the limbs. They had poor circulation and gradually lost sensation. From 1422, he was no longer able to walk and had a special wheelchair made by a master in the capital, thanks to which he could at least move around the palace. He died in 1427 because the disease was rapidly worsening. He was almost completely paralyzed and could only speak and take food. A few months later he died in an artificial sleep. His only son from the marriage became the successor.
