    • Birth and Early Life**

Arcadion was born on December 27, 1575, in the secluded village of Adonia, located on the border of the Kyldigardian canton of Glitoria in Chondia. He was the only son of Rhovion, a member of the exiled royal House of Zenon, and Kalypsia of Atredia. The Zenonian dynasty had faced exile following the rise of federalist republicans in 1534, leading them to seek refuge in Chondia, where they found shelter thanks to the Mortan family, a prominent aristocratic lineage. The Mortans provided food and lodging, allowing the royal family to evade the authorities.

    • Education and Political Awakening**

Arcadion received a comprehensive education through homeschooling, which instilled in him a profound sense of justice and a growing animosity towards the federalist government, perceived as corrupt and tyrannical. His formative years were marked by a burgeoning interest in political theory and governance, which eventually propelled him toward a career in politics. Despite the opposition from his family, who held different views, Arcadion began to engage in incognito travels across Khijovia, where he disseminated his political beliefs and rallied support for his cause.

    • Political Movement and Coup d'État**

Recognizing the need for a structured approach to his ambitions, Arcadion founded an anti-federalist political movement aimed at reinstating the Zenonian monarchy. His charisma and ideological fervor enabled him to inspire a substantial following, culminating in the formation of a volunteer army dedicated to his cause. On May 24, 1603, Arcadion and his forces successfully captured the capital, gaining control of the parliament. This pivotal event marked a turning point in Khijovian history.

    • Establishment of the Kingdom of Khijovia**

Following his coup, Arcadion declared the dissolution of the federalist federation and initiated a national plebiscite to gauge public support for the restoration of the monarchy. The results, released in the subsequent weeks, revealed overwhelming favor for a constitutional monarchy, with over 80% of the electorate casting their votes in support. On June 3, 1603, Arcadion was officially crowned, thereby founding the ascendant Kingdom of Khijovia. His reign marked the beginning of a new era in Khijovian politics, characterized by a return to monarchical rule and a commitment to restoring national pride and stability.
