Andesen I Von Stone, the third king of Flatstone, inhereted Flatstone during a time of peace and prosperity. His father had built the nation up from ruins after two long wars of unification and a long gray period of internal conflicts prior. Andesen, the young king that he was, had large ambitions for his nation. He wanted to utilize the resources that his father had left him with when he passed away in 1301 and turn Flatstone into an empire in order to match the greatness of the accomplishments of his father. The young Andesen would be the first Stonish king to engage in war with another nation in Stonish history, the war in question being the First Stonish Invasion of Hoterallia. Andesen's political accomplishments are mixed, with an almost even amount of victories and defeats in his track-record. Many consider his invasion of Hoterallia to be a brutal failure, resulting in the death of multiple Stonish officers and thousands of Stonish soldiers, as well as the destruction of the Stonish navy based in the Sotigabon archipelago. However despite these initial setbacks it can also be argued that Andesen I redeemed himself during his invasion of Kakland, during which he and his officers achieved multiple victories and were successful at colonizing large swathes of Kakish lands in the early fourteenth century.

Early Life of Andesen I

Childhood

Andesen I spent the majority of his childhood in seclusion, hidden behind the success's of his father and the attention that he received in addition to them. To many, Andesen I served of very little political importance. It was only when Andesen I had reached his mid-teens that people started to pay attention to the fact that Ejek's time was near and sooner or later the nation would fall into the hands of his son. Andesen I had always had an interest for Stonish military culture. From a young age, Andesen I devoted much of his time to his studies. He'd often spar with his father and his fathers officers, practicing and utilizing the techniques that he had so often read about in the books provided to him by his father. Additionally, Andesen I loved to wear military style dress uniforms whenever he made public appearances with his father. It got to the point where this lifestyle became associated with the king. Many started to refer to Andesen I as the warrior king, a fitting name for a man who lead his nation into two different invasions against superior powers abroad.
