Marveil Urshlo was a Drevstranese politician and businessman who served as the fourth Mervoret of Drevstran in the wake of Obrichko Dursila's mandate. Considered a centrist by its contemporaries, he is credited for many reforms and decisions that continue to shape the country to this day. He began his political career as part of the so-called Clique of Pristlav, an unofficial circle and think-tank of liberal businessmen and officials who wished for the end of the Skolad Dictature and prepared for the aftermath of a potential overthrow of the Mayor of the Palace. After the Black Street Days and the proclamation of the Second Mervoshia, Urshlo founded and presided over his own party, the center-right Yednosc.
Early life and education
Born in 1888 in Angrast, Marveil was not in Drevstran when the Civil war began, as he was still at the Castellum Polytechnic School for his economic studies after having spent a few years in Garima own school system. He would only return to Drevstran in 1920, and would settle in Pristlav, the main portuary city of the country. Under the Orbraggist regime, he built his wealth as a Freight transporter, with his own small cargo fleet.
Political activism
It's only with the growth of Skolad's powers that Urshlo began to involve himself in politics. He opposed the Mervoret's actions, and secretly milited for the liberalisation of the country alongside other reforms. Because of the state's censure and crackdowns on political opponents, real or perceived, Urshlo and other like-minded people organized their political and intellectuel activities in secret in what would be later known as the Clique of Pristlav. Their main concern were Skolad' efforts to nationalize most of the country's industrial capacities.
