User:Leopold III

His Imperial and Royal Majesty Emperor Leopold III of Nidavellir (German: Seine Kaiserliche und Königliche Majestät Kaiser Leopold III von Nidavellir) was born in the early morning to König Friedrich Wilhelm VI and his wife, Königen Viktoria, on 22 May, a very momentous day in Nidavellran culture, which marked the birth (in 1813) of the great composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner, hero of Nidavellir and bring of good fortune to the nation. The child was strong and healthy, and very mentally able, though given far more to military training and drill than any school subject he was taught. This regimentation and devotion to the military was noted by his father and his teachers, and continued for all his youth. It would earn him appointments of command over many of the most prestigious regiments in the Royal Army, including the Königliche Leibstandarte "Wulfstan I", the official Royal Guard of Nidavellir founded by her first king, Wulfstan von Morgenstern, in 1651, and reformed under Kaiser Leopold III as the Kaiserliche Leibstandarte "Großnidavellir", a regiment over which the Kaiser holds command to this day. His political training came in hard times for Nidavellir, when she was struggling to survive in hard economic times and in heated arguments over the joining in alliance with the other German nations under the leadership of Kaiser Frederick II of the Prussian Reich.

He proved himself an able leader, coming to power and leading a bitterly divided nation (at the time the Kingdom of Nidavellr was a parliamentary monarchy) into a new unified age, and establishing himself as a hero among the people. Times would remain good until more struggles produced an untenable state in the Kingdom which eventually led to the breakdown of all law and order following the war with the Deutscher Volksbund. The anarchy which ensued could only be solved by a single, strong leader, and before some demagogue from the beer-halls (they had been appearing like pox across the splintered country) could take advantage of the situation, Leopold rallied his military (and good sense of political strategy) to unite the nation under an absolutist military government that could answer the problems which faced the nation. Hailed as "Nidavellir's Cincinnatus", he abolished the former Senat and Landrat of the Kingdom Nidavellr and proclaimed himself "Emperor of the Grand Realm of Nidavellir, Commander of Its Armies and Leader of Its People". He closed the national borders and expelled immigrants from non-German lands, protecting only the Jewish minority in Nidavellir, which had remained one of the most loyal forces during the collapse. His coming to power was recognised by the (heavily right-wing) Order of the Knights of Othin's Eye (Orden der Ritter des Wotansaugen- ORW) as the dawning of a new age, and the bestowed on him title of Großmeister des Ordens, Seher und Sprecher der Altgötter: "Grand Master of the Order, Seer and Speaker of the Ancient Gods", an honour never before bestowed on anyone who was not an especial religious devotee of the Order (called the goðar collectively). Henceforth, the ORW took on a new rôle in Nidavellran politics-- never before had the State Religion been so heavily involved in State affairs. To this day, all the major ministers to the Kaiser are members of the ORW; most of them are likewise relatives of Kaiser Leopold.
