The Leftebürgian people began with Adalbert Kö***, an extravagant trader and bürger. He led some fellow Hansetian colonists left Aegis, following it’s destruction. On a small ship called The Hildebert, the colonists suffered a long and hard journey, faced with storms that came from Aegis, storms never seen by mankind before. They ran out of fresh food in the first week, having to survive on pest-ridden hard tack. After many a day, the colonists made it to the new land. They veered off course many a mile and found themselves lost in the far north. They created a small town of Königsville.

Adalbert was a corrupt man, barely keeping watch over his town, he chose to use the bribes from the merchants for cheap trading permits on his personal mansion. One month afterwards, Adalbert died with no legitimate heir, they decided that the town council should elect a bürgermeister of Königsville. So the new bürgermeister was chosen, the head of the council. His name was Heinrich von Wüllersleben, he ruled wisely, he endorsed merchant guilds and in return they gave him guards for the town. This caused low taxes and a strong trade, the town of Königsville was prospering. Heinrich realized that the town should not be named after the corrupt man that is not Adalbert but instead name it something more creative. Next day, he passed the reform for the name of town, changing it to Leftenbürg. The vote was barely passed as the grand bürgers were mainly concerned on preserving the status quo. The town prospered much and opened its ports to the other human traders.

 

 

Heinrich eventually succumbed to the plague from some human leather merchants, unfortunately the doctors had never seen anything like this so they couldn’t stop the spread. Soon many of the inhabitants died of the horrid plague as it swept through the land. There was about 5 bürgermeisters picked in just those short years. Civil war came as the grandson of the illegitimate son of Adalbert Kö***, Gerhard von Kerpen and his small militia, declared war against Leftenbürg. Gerhard wanted to create Leftenbürg as a barony, such as his great grandfather had. Merchant guilds and their private navies and militaries had to choose sides, many choosing to side with bürgermeister to preserve their trading rights. After a long two year war, dubbed by historians as the Coin War, due to the fact that most of it was fought by mercenaries and merchant’s private militias.

After a while, the town grew and grew, a couple new bürgermeisters were chosen, some good, some bad. Leftenbürg seemed like a paradise, but this wouldn’t last. The destruction of Asulon was imminent. The town was completely caught in surprise by this and tried to flee, many were left behind. Some survivors were the remnants of the great Wüllersleben family, they fled on different merchant ships. The family was lost, many died on the way to the new land of Elysium. The ones that did survive were spread across the whole island, unable to find each other. Günther von Wüllersleben, able to survive as a petty merchant, traveling across Elysium, searching for family members. Upon the discovery of Kalos, Günther took the mighty human ship to Oren. When he had found Oren he immediately had the undying dream of recreating the Grand Stadtgemeinde of Leftenbürg.

To found the Grand Stadtgemeinde of Leftenburg.
Personality: Gunther is a rather greedy individual, driven by money to create his dream government, where status is chosen by coin, not bloodlines. He also is quite diligent and ambitious.
