Personal history
Early History
The Von Xandrick Family despite enjoying the title of Emperor almost unchecked for the last three centuries raise their children in relative anonymity until entering public life. Lysandra was no different. What we do know is she enjoyed a life on the old Xandrian estates before the fire that cost the family most of its members, she spent some time being educated in Castle Gris and traveling the continent with The Guide Saint Myra. She would enter public notoriety when she entered the College of Lore studying for a year where she performed above board.Early Political Life
Entering the Senate at age 17, she was quickly making a name for herself as a Moderate Populist, deeply anti-slavery, but capable of bridging gaps in senatory requests to her uncle. It was no surprise when she would be awarded with the Populist stronghold of Sudellind to govern while her brother Deacon Von Xandrick, the elder presumed crown prince and deep Conservative was awarded the more prestigious and moderate lands of Elvlind to govern. There she made a name for herself with land and labour reform. She began with a ludicrous tax on slave trade and slave labour making it economically unviable and pushing rich land owners out of the arid grasslands. With the revenue she began land reform projects to promote ranches and farms to the lower classes helping democratize the waning economy of the province. Within the city she was popular with exhaustive urban renewal that would leave the city more prosperous if bringing her personal funds to a limit.Reign as Emperor
Shortly into her governorship the world was shocked at her selection as emperor resulting in the War of Siblings better covered there. In it Deacon declared himself the true emperor and brought the conservative Populist divide to a bloody conclusion and shifting Lysandra's public persona from moderate Populist to Radically Populist. With her adversaries in the senate and governance held with treason she took the opportunity to seize massive assets from Conservative lords, taking hold of a weakened senate and fattened government purse to push through a complete national ban on Slavery and many infrastructure reforms, such as the ever growing development of railroad throughout the provinces. To ease the sudden labour shock she quickly partitioned seized lands to small farms and estates. This proved costly but wildly popular shoring up The Populists for massive gains in elections. She also supported financially The Republic of Hell's Landing during the later years of the The Tiefling War a move that would prove less popular. Her later years as seen her steam lesson as seized assets diminish. She remains popular if the Populists themselves have routinely waned some in elections. Despite this many are wondering what this savy Emperor will do in over her presumed long reign as her tenth year looks to be no end to her political initiatives.Gender Identity
