Zigmautas I Miskunas

Zigmautas is known for his piercing pale grey eyes and his thick dark brown beard.

Zigmautas has four claw scars on his face around his right eye. He received these scars while battling the green dragon Kadrys. He also has a large blue lightning bolt, a symbol of Perkunas, on his chest.

Zigmautas was born in a small village in the Zalius Forest during a fierce storm that ravaged his village in which his family's home was left untouched. This caused his parents to think that his birth was blessed by Perkunas, the thunder god.   Not much is known about Zigmautas' early life, but it is known that he became one of the hunters of his village. He would enter into the forest to hunt game for food and monsters to ensure the safety of his village. He defended his against several monster attacks.   Zigmautas united the tribes of the Zalius Forest first against raids from the Fellmen of Jardersfell and then against a full-scale invasion by the Fellmen. After the Fellmen were repulsed by the Zigmautas, they turned their eye towards the fractured tribes of the Grifas Highlands, but Zigmautas moved his united army to support and unite and incorporate the highland tribes into this army. The Fellmen were not expecting the such a strong and united force and their invasion was crushed even though they fought bravery.   Zigmautas became a hero of the Miskunasian tribes which caused a priest of Perkunas to declare that Zigmautas was a chosen of Perkunas. This two factors caused Zigmautas to declare himself the King of the Forests and the Hills and named his kingdom Miskunas, after his tribe. The founding of the kingdom was not the end of Zigmautas’ role of uniter. The tribes of the Drakunas Forest were attacked by a tribal kingdom to the east that had made a pact with a mighty green dragon of the Drakunas Forest, and Zigmautas decided to come to their aid. Zigmautas’ united army defeated the eastern army and Zigmautas himself killed the green dragon.
