Amidien Casilia

Amidien Casilia (Amidien Vulstid Casilia) was one of the most prominent Wyndilliers during the late Upperian era of the Casorian Empire and Highlord of Arda in his own right. Despite his low rank, Amidien had a prestigous bloodline and as such served on the Inner Councils of both Vorstan VIII and his daughter, and later Amidien's wife, Nalena II.

Amidien's political career saw him embraced within the inner circle of the failing Imperial family who sought a fresh face to launch a new Upperian era. Nalena, the future Empress and last Upperian monarch was devoted entirely to Amidien even before their match. Little to Vorstan's knowledge Amidien had secured Nalena's submission to his own bloodline, meaning that their children would carry the name, Casilia''. ''Following Vorstan's death Amidien was seated at equal height to his wife and as of then, liege lady.

Amidien's ambitions only increased once he held Imperial power and Nalena, despite her naivety, allowed her husband to use his impressive knowledge of government better the Empire. When Amidien passed away only a week after the Empress their son, the new Haynre-Jozef I (Then simply Haynre-Jozef) remarked that, "Truly now I am Emperor, for when my father lived I was but his shadow."

Amidien was hailed as the architect of the Casilian era and a mastermind diplomat with an ability to delegate responsibility and handle the pressures of power as though he was born to them. Born as an obscure Highlord he had risen to the very heights of power within the Casorian Empire and forged a new dynasty in the process.
