Loracio, the Zealous - 132nd King of Kings

Of the Breventio Dynasty [Sigil: A Violet Bird of Fortune, upon a Sea-Blue Field]   Loracio was a devout host keeper. He began his reign by centralizing power in the hands of the king, both as a repudiation of the idea of the Six and as a move to further oppress the Old Faith. From 725 RA to 728 RA, it was made illegal to profess the Old Faith, and many zealots fled to the Isle of Acciano, which became severely isolated from the rest of the nation. Nobles were also outraged to see their rights diminished, many of them even losing the right of pit and gallows, being forced to pass any rulings in their own domains on to the King for approval. Loracio’s brother Enrico managed to placate talks of rebellion, insisting he could curb the King’s piety. Rather than curb it, it seems Enrico managed to intensify it so greatly that in 728 Loracio, feeling he had accomplished all he meant to do, put off the crown to become a hosterman. He gained a dispensation from the Prince of Hosts to wander the Kingsrift of Milos to the south. It is presumed that he died there.
