Emperatrix Mariana Iulia Iutranus
Mental characteristics
Personal history
The reign of Emperatrix Mariana was marked by neither failure and scandal nor by significant achievement. She presided over a generally positive economic and political climate until 8087, when increased pirate activity by the Sirens led to economic and political turmoil. This was further complicated by her failing health.
On the 10th of Nîshosh, 8089, Mariana fell ill. This signaled weakness to her political enemies in the Estinos Primum movement. Led by Valerius Lucillus Torascio Iunior, Estinos Primum forced a vote in the Imperial Senate declaring the Iutranian Dynasty illigitimate. Meaningless, in itself, the political move was backed up by his son, the Tribunus Laticlavus of Legio I, Faustus Lucillus, who encircled the Senate chambers with his legion.
Fearing for their lives, the senators quickly capitulated to a second sham vote which declared Valerius to be the rightful Emperos of Estinos. In the wake of this vote, Valerius commanded that all members of the Iutranian family be put to the sword. As a result, Mariana was assassinated in her sickbed.
