Ejek Von Stone, the second king of Flatstone, succeeded to the throne following the death of his father Andesen Von Stone in 1237. He ruled the nation until 1301, when he passed away after consuming lethal amounts of magnesium with the mindset that it would grant him eternal life. Ejek Von Stone is nicknamed "The Sunadic" for his accomplishments, including the settlement of the Şotīgābon and Mīdlosugā archipelagos. Ejek was a profound supporter of his fathers plan to expel the Ou peoples from southern Şotīko, leading to the mass migration of Ou peoples in the thousands to the Mīdlosugā archipelago, giving the islands the overwhelming Ou majority of 200,000+ that they posses today.
Early Life
Birth and Childhood
Ejek Von Stone was the first Stonish king to be born into either royalty or even just a position of power. All of his predecessors worked tirelessly to earn their place as the ruler of the archipelago. Because of this factor, many saw Ejek as naturally incompetent, destined to fall under into the shadow of his more experienced father. This reputation would go on to haunt the young king, Ejek, for the entirety of his reign, even spilling out into the reputation of some of his successors. Ejek would spend the entirety of his childhood under the guise of his father, contributing a significant amount of his time to pastimes and hobbies such as cartography much to the dislike of his father, who would rather he spend his time trying to learn and understand politics and religion, as well as embrace his cultural identity and prepare for the day that he succeed his father and take his place as king of Flatstone. Ejek was far too young and too oblivious to understand the importance of his lifestyle, and so much of the valuable time that he did have before the start of his reign would inevitably go to waste. Ejek would step into a virtually unexplored world of administration, diplomacy, and military with no experience to spare for the people that had entrusted their faith in him and his father. Despite these setbacks, Ejeks reign would be for the most part without catastrophe or failure. However, with that being said, Ejeks number of accomplishments can not compare to that of his father, who outnumbers him ten to one. Ejeks particularly peaceful rule and undesirable childhood lifestyle would earn him the nickname "The Passive", referring to his reluctancy to follow in the footsteps of anybody but himself.
The House of Von Stone
Ejek is a prominent figurehead and member of the House of Von Stone, being the second member of the dynasty to rule over the nation of Flatstone at some point in time. Within the house of Von Stone, Ejek is seen as a symbol of individuality, and a shining example of what it means to carve your own path. However, these are more modern interpretations of the king. It is believed that at the time of his reign, Ejek was often scoffed at by the people of Flatstone and ridiculed by his advisors for his so-called "incompetency". Regardless, by modern standards Ejek Von Stone is an icon and an important figure in Stonish historical literature.
