Kwame Tu'Aruc (also known as Kwame Turae) May 3, 1763 (aged 69) was a Seran noble and founder of the Seran royal family who served as the first Monarch of the United States of Sera as well as the first and only Lord-General in Seran history. He ascended to the throne after defeating the aristocracy during the bloody Seran War of Unification. The Quadrumvirate previously ruled what would become the United States of Sera would vest their powers and responsibilities into a single, powerful ruler. As such, the Mbaku chief and King of the Sakhile Kingdom chose the son of the Kogan King and daughter of a Latinius Priestess to serve as the King and Queen and the progenitors of the royal family. Their union would signify the unification of the lands making up the Seran people, and to honor this commitment to all people the couple would change their last name from Turae and Arucus and combine them to create "Tu'Aruc".
However, after the death of the members of the Quadrumvirate, the sons and daughters of the kings and chiefs that would lose out on power and inheritance formed a coalition to oppose the new king and queen of the Seran nation. As such, they formed a powerful alliance and rallied a sizable army under their own respective banners to maintain a stranglehold on power by any means necessary. Kwame's first official act as King of Unified Sera was to immediately charge the members of the alliance as traitors to the nation and rallied his own army.
Although the breadth of the fighting would be eclipsed nearly two centuries later in during the Seran Secessionist War, the war still brought widespread devastation and a massive loss of life as a result of the fighting. It wouldn't be until after the Battle of Veridian Fields in January of 1741 did the war conclude with Kwame Tu'Aruc uniting the nation under his rulership.
Early Life and Childhood
Kwame Tu'Aruc's early family life and upbringing in the Kingdom of Koga served as a crucial foundation for his later role as the first Monarch of Unified Sera. Born into the esteemed Turae family on August 14th, 1693, in Kito'Bahari, Kado, Kwame was the second son of Chief N'dchaka Turae and Chieftess Omolayo Turae[1]. The Turae family held a long-standing legacy as leaders within the Kogan community, known for their wisdom and commitment to the well-being of their people.
Growing up in the Kingdom of Koga, young Kwame was immersed in the cultural richness and traditions of his homeland. Koga, a kingdom renowned for its vibrant markets, diverse communities, and cultural celebrations, provided a dynamic backdrop for Kwame's formative years[2]. His childhood home, situated in the heart of Kito'Bahari, served as a hub for gatherings, discussions, and cultural events that nurtured his understanding of Kogan customs.
Education played a pivotal role in shaping Kwame's early years. His parents, recognizing the importance of knowledge, enlisted the services of esteemed tutors and scholars to provide Kwame with a comprehensive education. Under their guidance, he studied subjects ranging from history and governance to philosophy and military strategy, preparing him for the multifaceted challenges that lay ahead[3].
Kwame's family life was marked by a close bond with his siblings, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility. Discussions around the family hearth often centered on the duty of leadership, the history of the Turae lineage, and the broader destiny of the Kogan people.
Kwame Tu'Aruc's early betrothal to Carlotta Arucus marked a significant chapter in his life, intertwining his personal journey with the broader political landscape of the Kingdom of Koga. The arrangement, orchestrated by their respective families, was not merely a union of individuals but a strategic alliance that would have profound implications for the future of Seran governance.
The decision to betroth Kwame and Carlotta was rooted in a combination of cultural traditions, political considerations, and a foresight into the challenges facing the Kingdom of Koga. Both individuals hailed from distinguished lineages — Kwame, the second son of Chief N'dchaka Turae, and Carlotta, the daughter of a Latinius Priestess, bringing together not only noble bloodlines but also diverse cultural influences[4].
The Quadrumvirate recognized the potential for synergy in this union, envisioning it as a means to forge stronger alliances and navigate the intricate web of political dynamics within the soon to be formed country. As the Kingdom of Koga faced internal strife and the specter of impending conflict, the betrothal of Kwame and Carlotta was seen as a harmonious convergence of two powerful kingdoms blessed by the other two members states that could play a pivotal role in steering the country toward stability.
The young couple, while betrothed early in their lives, underwent a shared education, preparing them not only for their roles as future monarchs but also for the challenges of unifying a fractured nation. Their mentors and tutors, carefully selected by their families, ensured that Kwame and Carlotta developed a deep understanding of governance, diplomacy, and the military strategies necessary to navigate the turbulent times ahead[5].
The betrothal ceremony itself was a grand affair, attended by dignitaries, nobles, and members of all of the Quadrumvirate member states. It symbolized not just a personal commitment but a solemn pledge to the kingdom and its people. The blending of their surnames, from Turae and Arucus to "Tu'Aruc," was not only a reflection of their union but a powerful statement of unity for the Seran people.
This early betrothal set the stage for Kwame and Carlotta's shared destiny, as they would go on to face the challenges of the Seran War of Unification together, emerging as the foundational figures in the establishment of the United States of Sera.
