Personal history
Aeron was born as the sole heir of House Vaughn, an ancient and incredibly powerful bloodline, his parents were the lord and lady of North Westguard. They were the rulers of the largest petty kingdom in Westguard and were very close with Margot who had them installed as the Emperor's hand for the region of Westguard. Aeron was raised in a highly privileged setting, but was taught and trained instensly from the early days of his youth. During these early years he found a close friend in Ashtyn Starr, the daughter of the Knight of the Realm. These days were comfortable and enjoyable for the young lord.
However, his parents were caught in the curse brought about by Margot's death. He was orphaned at the age of 13, and was suddenly thrust into a crisis of a collapsing empire and the re-drawing of borders. He had become the lord of the lands that his family had owned before the rise of Margot, a large area of North Westguard, with a couple of smaller micro-kingdoms being subserviant to his. His kingdom had the most land, resources, and people out of any other nation in Westguard, and Aeron was much too young to rule it. It was for this reason that the other lords of Westguard came together and made a suggestion: They would each send an advisor who would make up a council that would rule the country of Cathu until Aeron came of age. Aeron, meanwhile, would be sent to the servant state of Porth-Du where he would be taught and trained with the inter-lord army that was based there to fight back the forsaken masses. He accepted this arrangement, and left the city for the military, joined with his best-friend Ashtyn.
During his time in the military Aeron quickly rose up the ranks. Being blessed with the gift of Vitalia's blessing, a power that had been passed down the Vaughn family since the beginning of Humanity's time on Estellia, made him an exceptional swordsman. He was also popular among the soldiers, respecting the boy for rising above his background and being unafraid to get his hands dirty. However during this time he also saw how the lords were treating the lands that his parents once ruled over, causing suffering and strife for all. He was quickly radicalised, knowing that his family once were the kings of humanity and had led them to a golden age of power, and started taking steps to secure his rule. He gathered people who would make up his court, his "White Roses" whilst also pushing his influence over the combined forces of the Lords that he had been trained with.
Just before his 18th birthday, an attempt was made on his life during a training exercise where he was alone with only Ashtyn by his side. He fought them off, but his cheek was cut deeply, leaving the scar that is seen today. He knew that the lords wanted to keep control over Cathu, and now that they had resorted to this he had all the reason he needed to take back his throne. He gathered the army who had now pledged their allegiance to him and marched on Cathu, slaughtering all but one of the advisors and taking his throne. He addressed the nation, and the other lords in the first week of his rule. He gave a powerful speech to the people of his nation, sparking their outrage at the other lords, he attacked the lords directly with sharp words and promised that he would save Westguard and bring all people to a new era of humanity. With that, he declared war.
Over the next two years he quickly invaded the other petty kingdoms of Westguard, executing the ruling houses of each nation on the spot. Annexing each region he grew his kingdom, until finally he controlled all of Westguard and declared the creation of The Empire of Vaughn with him as the emperor.
In the years since he has worked to improve his control, and the overall quality, of the nation. In the last year he started his new plan of expansion, invading the Goliath's land in the north and going to war with the Svanur Commonwealth to take the Iá Wastes.
