Turse d'Lagua

Early Life

Turse d'Lagua was born in the year -24. The Lagua family had ruled its region for nearly a century and a half by the time of his birth. Turse excelled in his schooling and wrote a considerable amount of poetry, most notably "The Wind's Rhythm," which is still taught in Confederate schools as an example of classic, pre-confederate poetry.

Upon his coming of age, Turse turned his interest towards politics. Around this time, the Confederation of Lagua was beginning to form. To his luck, Turse agreed to join the Confederation and gave Turse the role of Representative.

Political Career

Once Turse's father passed, the role of king was passed to him. Those from Lagua would say he ruled as a generous king who gave much to his people in the forms of food, holidays, and freedom from tyranny. People from outside the Laguan region remember Turse as a bully who took all he could (legally) from the other regions of the Confederation.

This is most notably remembered by the civil war, which arguably was caused by Turse lying. The war tired Turse and he died the following year, passing the rule of Lagua unto his first son.

Death

Upon his death, the people of Lagua donated to the construction of a statue commemorating him. This is one of two statues which stands in Lagua square.
