Sturnogoz
The Preacher at Worlds' end
Upper-Hierophant Sturnogoz Eula Tragnar
The most faithful ally of the First Saint, Upper-hierophant Sturnogoz was the second de facto unifier of Artesja, forming the so-called 'Holy Confederacy', consisting of a wide range of Artesjan kingdoms and republics. The Confederacy was short-lived, collapsing not long after Sturnogoz's death.
In the year 110 AN, Sturnogoz started gathering a massive army of the willing. Writers of the time say that the Great host of Artesja would drain entire rivers in their passion and leave no scraps in their wake as they marched north. In 111 AN, Sturnogoz arrived in Taria and knelt at the feet of Fabien, swearing to the saint that he would be his sword-arm until his final breath. Together, the two generals had assembled the largest standing army in Tempertarian history.
Sorry for the wait, lads! Some of us had frost to kick off our boots, Hahah!
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Described by all but a few scribes as a frankly hulking man, Sturnogoz was a muscular male and very fit. Originally hailing from the Tundrarian city of Gitalgar, he's spent his youth doing what many young Gitalgarans do: clearing ice from the harbor to make space for trade and warships coming from faraway lands.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Very little is known about Sturnogoz's personal life outside of the crusade; he was reportedly an earlier proponent of Artesjan Unification theory put forward by Cantricia and (earlier) Merticia, which, as the name suggests, favors a completely united Artesjan state, though at the time this didn't include Thyrimia or the Sousarti plains.
He never married or had any children, so his sacrifice marked the end of the Sturnogoz bloodline. He never showed any interest in the subtler forms of statecraft, like diplomacy or trade, but he was an excellent soldier and general.
