Andeja I (Andeja Gitte; 8 April 2035 – 5 May 2125) was Emperor of the Celestial Empire of Derita from 4 June 2103 until his death in 2125. The eldest son and child of Gitte II and Alara of Russlande, he was from birth heir to two empires. He was the longest serving heir apparent in Deritain history, waiting 68 years between his birth and his ascension to the throne.
During the long reign of his parents, Andeja was largely excluded from political affairs until the 2070s, when he began to serve as regent for both of his parents. Throughout the 2050s and 2060s he was a key military figure and participated in several conflicts across the country. Following the deteriorating health of Gitte II in the 2080s Andeja would serve as Prince Regent until his ascension to the throne in 2103.
As Emperor, Andeja was faced with the crisis of the Great Collapse and relied heavily on traditionalist and isolationist policies in orderto perserve tge empire. He moved the capital to Aukusa City and attempted, though failed to establish an ultra-royalist control over the government. His alliance with the Hollande Family was notable and he has been seen as a man who maintained the empire in a time of crisis.
