Eirien ar Fiannan

Eirien ar Fiannan, (Olmë: Eirien rain Erechad aep Fiannan an Fiannanar; 2801 - 3166 TC) was a former Emnouir (General) under Carassar Calad, and later the Head Chancellor of the Imperial Senate, and the de-facto ruler of the Caras Lenanhar following the death of the last empress, Ettari, in 3077 TC until his death.

In the tumultuous period following Ettari's assassination, the Senate was quickly assembled -- they were faced with a crisis of succession which hadn't been seen in the empire for the past five centuries. An assortment of nobles and military leaders, notably Torwallach aep Gweirniu and Isidh nar Chullonw among others, had gathered in Illian with haste hitherto unseen.

Over the course of almost two months, deliberations continued, and the throne was no closer to being occupied. Eirien famously noted: "They squabble as the empire crumbles arounds them -- one of them will be naught but king of ashes."

As the negotiations broke down, it had become evident that no consensus will be reached; the Senate, the army, and the nobility were too divided, with far too many claimants having far too few supporters.
