Emperor Marko Vulsaeus

 Imperial Prince Marko Vulsaeus was born year 579. Marko's marriage was arranged at a young age, upon turning 17 his bride would be Lady Nuri Ocias. Nuri was the last of the main line of her family, having been orphaned at the young age of 2 months old, she was raised by the Emperor, and Empress for a number of years, by the age of 2 she was mostly in the care of staff, or with Marko, who was the same age. The Emperor & Empress decided, by the age of five for the children, that they would send Nuri away to live with her Uncle, by the time she was fifteen she returned to live in Siscilia with Marko at the Palace.

Marko was most famous in his lifetime for the exploration, and assimilation, of the Heisui Province. Marko became Emperor during the year 600. His first action was to set out on an expedition east, deep into the marsh/jungle and bambo. This expedition was the largest anyone had ever seen, at least since before the First World War. He set off in a sense of celebration, for his newly gained crown. After weeks of travelling, discovering, and catalogging they came across an opening, an open field marsh, low to just above ocean level, forming a delta out of the jungle/marshes mouth.

In front, next to the ocean was the small fishing village of Xiuying, this place was filled with people unlike any seen before. Through difficult, and persistant communication, they discovered the village was part of a nation known as Heisui. Emperor Marko payed for himself, and a portion of his party to continue on boat to the island of Heisui. Not too far of a trip, they reached Heisui in two days. And came upon the large fishing town of Doai, they used their gold to experience much of the culture, foods, and even hire a translator to meet with the Regent.

Emperor Marko funded further expedition northeast, to the Heisui capital of Sueishi. There they discovered an immense amount of deep art & culture, masterful warfare, and unique entertainments and foods. They had drawn much attention, and attracted the attention of Shogun Nobuyuki. The Shogun wished for these intrusive foreigners to be out, and sent his samurai to escort Emperor Marko out of Sueishi Province. The Emperor returned home with his party, to rest and regroup after returning. They needed time to discuss further actions in the matter of the discovery of Heisui.

Eventually Emperor Marko decided to invade Heisui, slaughter their people and force them to bow under Vulsa'in might. Xiuying quickly fell to the large armies possesed by Emperor Marko, who led the frontline himself. They stole the boats from the Xiuying docks, and invaded Daoi. Within Daoi however, it was found that the Regent had rebelled against the Shogun. Hidao Maeda, the Regent of Doai, joined Emperor Marko against Nobuyuki in Sueishi, and siezed the capital for themselves.

Marko took advantage of the oppurtunity, and forced Hidao to join the Vulsa'in, allying Heisui and the Empire. He died in the year 623, 8 years after conquering Heisui. He left behing 7 sons, and 5 daughters.
