Catlish Kingdom

William I of Catlish took control of the Irinian Plateau in 23 and named himself the Legoian God-Emperor, officially founding the Catlish God-Emperor Religion. However, other Generals of the former Legoian Empire took control of enough former parts of the Empire that his claims are widely disregarded. He renamed his kingdom Irin, as the majority of his holdings were on the plateau and set about strengthening his rule. He ruled for 14 years, before passing away at the age of 41 (which was normal for the time) in 37.

The throne passed to his first-born son, William II, who took it upon himself to retake all of the land over which the Legoian Empire used to maintain control. This began the 57 years war (40-102 MT), and eventually to his own death, after being struck by a stray arrow aimed at a hawk in 49 MT.

James I, the son of William II, was a mere 3 years old when his father died, but none-the-less was named Emperor. His uncle Gary was named as regent, and the young James died later the same year in mysterious circumstances often pinned on Gary.

Despite being the third-born of William I's sons, Gary I took control after his nephew's death, as he became the first in line when the second-born (James) died in 39 MT. Gary ruled from 49 MT until 53 MT, when he died of a sickness that had plagued him for years, at the age of only 36.

Gary I's only son, Ethert, was crowned as the God-emperor Ethert I in 53 MT, at the age of 13, and ruled for 7 years. He had two children after marrying the much-older Irinian noblewoman Sandra Ira at the age of 18, Elean and Roguy. Sandra reportedly had the young Emperor killed as she wanted more direct power through her children.

Ethert & Sandra's second-born child, Roguy, was named as the 6th Irinian God-emperor in 60, at the age of only 2. He died of a widespread disease (the details of which are fairly vague) just one year later, in 61 MT.

Roguy's older sister, Elean, became the first God-queen of Irin in 61, at the young age of 4. Unlike her younger brother, she survived 17 years of rule, and bore 2 heirs with her Husband, Dylan, who was her third cousin through William I's second-son James. They were married in 75 MT, despite Sandra Ira's best intentions to force Elean into marrying her own nephew. Their story was recorded by the Irinian Priests of Love as an example of true love some years later. Dylan, son of Aaron, son of James, son of William I, who had been trained in the castle as a knight during Elean's early rule, met the queen in 72 MT when he was 14 and she 15, and fell in love with her. He spent a year trying to woo her; however, she remained cold to her younger cousin. But during the great fire of 73, he risked his life to save the God-Queen, who was trapped in her tower of the Castle Catla. He was burned badly,and was to be left to die as of the tradition of the time, yet the young Queen found sympathy for Dylan, and ordered him to be nursed back to health. When he returned to full health, the two fell in love, and began courting. At the end of the year 73, Dylan and his father Aaron, son of James, son of William I, prepared a marriage offer to the Queen, which she accepted readily, but the proposal was rejected by the Queen's Mother, Sandra Ira, who wished the royal bloodline to stay within her own family, specifically through her nephew. She challenged the proposal in the court of the King of Gods, William I. The court Priests nearly ruled in favour of Sandra Ira, as she was known to have a very smooth tongue, but Elean gave an impassioned speech, beseeching the priests to rule in the favour of true love, wherever it may be found. The priests reposed, and ruled in favour of Elian and Dylan. They were married the day after her 18th Birthday, in 75 MT. Together they ruled a happy kingdom, despite the backdrop of the 57 years war that persisted throughout the entirety of their short, but sweet reign. Elean died in 78, at the age of 21, after the birth of their second child, Elean.

Elean's firstborn son, William III

Unfortunately for his god-emperor claims, he only controlled about a fifth of the former Legoian Empire (including the Irin region). Two others, a former Legoian Advisor, and a fellow general, had gained control over the rest of the land. Throughout the next 169 years, the three empires fought constantly, all claiming to be the rightful Legoian Empire. The Irin had suffered greatly under the original Legoians, but they experienced relative peace and prosperity under the Catlish Dynasty, as their isolated location protected them from most of the inter-successor-empire spats. Regrettably, Fate had made other decisions for them.

In 192 MT, the Latian republic conquered all three spatting nations, after launching an air invasion, through Irin, which they saw as a strategically useful center of operations in the region.
