Sovereign Sigmar Dietrich Daimus III
Sovereign Sigmar Dietrich Daimus III, the third ruler of the Bechtlarite Empire, bore the weight of his lineage as a heavy burden upon his shoulders from the moment he ascended to the throne. Born late into his father's life, he knew little of paternal guidance or familial warmth, his existence merely a footnote in the life of his esteemed father, already aged and consumed by his own ambitions. He paid little mind to the young Sigmar, leaving him to navigate the treacherous waters of courtly intrigue and imperial responsibility on his own. Bereft of guidance and starved for attention, Sigmar grew into a short-tempered and neglectful ruler, haunted by the specter of his father's legacy.
Though not devoid of intelligence or cunning, Sigmar's lack of proper upbringing left him vulnerable to manipulation by those around him. His unhealthy desire to emulate his forebears and secure his place in history clouded his judgment, leading him to make costly mistakes that threatened the stability of the empire, and eventually the world itself. It was during one such moment of weakness that Sigmar's reign careened into catastrophe. Directed by a team of advisors eager to exploit his ambitions, Sigmar embarked on a reckless endeavor to harness the power of magic on a scale never before seen. Driven by his obsession with subduing the Seanachaisians, the last bastion of resistance against imperial rule, Sigmar sought to open a portal to another dimension and wield its otherworldly forces as a weapon against his enemies. In his misguided quest for glory and recognition, Sigmar unleashed a Blight upon the world, a cataclysm that nearly wiped out not only the Seanachaisian people, but threatened to engulf the entire world in ruin. The oceans were poisoned, and entire cultures were erased from existence in the wake of the devastation.
Sovereign Sigmar Dietrich Daimus III is remembered not for his triumphs, but for the catastrophic consequences of his actions, and remains hated by many even now, over two hundred years later.
