Cléber (Eufez)

Several political movements started in response to the excommunication, as the survival of the southern colonies was seen to be at stake. Most notably was the formation of the Holy Baden Empire led by the Viscount of Shurikon, Cléber. Within seven short years, the first foundations of the new Vedulspedan Empire began and the Letter of Unification symbolized Vedelsped's new era of stability. With his alliance of powerful families, he successfully united many of the colonies under his banner and established himself as the Emperor of the empire. His policies were generally benevolent, but were often met with resistance from the local nobility who saw him as a usurper.
