Early Life
Oluien Trismaris was born into a merchant's family in
Allanar. Oluien grew up during the darkest times of the
Orcish Migration, with Allanar being repeatedly sieged by
orcish raiders. At the age of 20, Oluien joined the Thyrian Legionnaires, fighting as a ranger in a mixed race division in the Jungles of Theyennor.
Upon returning to Allanar, Oluien soon took up his father's business as a merchant. Oluien became widely respected as a reputable transporter of goods. Shaped by his experiences with humans in the war, Oluien joined People for the Ethical Treatment of Humans. He long argued for masters to show kindness to their slaves and opposed physical abuse.
Oluien married in 1339 and had one son,
Faelyn Trismaris, born in 1340. Tragically, his wife died during childbirth. His son would later grow up to become a powerful mage.
Great Revolt
At the onset of the revolt, Oluien owned three slaves and had one indentured servant. These four would eventually become part of the
Devoted. In an act of kindness, his former slaves sheltered Oluien and his son from the more zealous rebels. With their help, Oluien and Faelyn were able to escape, but not before seeing the brutal sacking of Allanar by both rebellious slaves and the Thyrian army.
Oluien realized slavery was untenable and quickly came to oppose it. He spent the first year of the revolt working with
Toseus Iliren, calling for an immediate end to the war and the abolition of slavery. In 1350, Oluien traveled to
Calydon and offered support of the elven resistance movement.
Oluien fought in the Battle of Thal'Narius, leading a mixed-race division surrounding the city. Following the death of
Iorath and
Cirril Ancalan's abdication of the throne, the
Devoted declared Oluien the leader of
Morenthyr. Establishing himself Emperor-Regent, Oluien vowed to rebuild a better
Morenthyr.
Emperor-Regent
In his time as Emperor-Regent, Oluien has steadfastly expanded right for non-elves within the Empire. The worship of Iorath was stopped, and halflings were granted equal rights to elves in 1386. In the east, non-elves are typically treated equally under the law, but Oluien's efforts have been thwarted in the west by traditionalist
Thyrians.
