Anton HinUwe Herr Rustiastein

A Lord High Protector of what was then the protectorate of Rustiastein (currently the protectorate of Rustia), whose noble court and clergy of his land on his behalf began the Steinism Schism. When the Pope Otto HnKarl Von Bibefenb refused Anton's request to divorce his wife on the grounds of her not birthing him a male heir, and with the risk of a future turmoil both politically and ecclesiasticall,y key members of the local churches and the court emboldened Anton to break away from the distance edicts of the Pope and merge the position of Lord High Protector with the head of the Church of Light for those within the newly christened "Protectorate of Rustia", with "Steinism" denoting the new branch of faith.   By all accounts Anton was an extremely pious man, a humble, honest and stalwart servant to justice and the common welfare of his people. He likewise did his husbandly duty and gave his wife nine daughters with the care of the best healers both divine and alchemical to ensure her survival though the deadly trials of birth. The pious royal family two generations before Anton pledged that daughters would be "married" for only one alliance, the alliance to the Church of Light. All daughters born within the Lord High Protectors family would be sent to nunneries to serve the faith as chaste Brides of the Son of Light, the more militant as fighting martyrs against corruption and evil or the more compassionate being miracle workers and healers of mercy.   The Arch Bishop prayed for and receive divination that Anton would never sire a son by his current wife, that violating the vow of sending daughters to be chaste within the church would cause woe for all of the protectorate, and that Anton's descendants were destined to include sons whom would be righteous and just High Lord Protectors. The arch bishop, a long time friend and former adventuring comrade of the Lord High Protector when they both were young, shared these divine revelations. They had heard of tales of both Elladan and Schwaren rulers executing their wives so they could remarry,  both men were disgusted and horrified by the prospect for that to solve their dilemma, especially after the Pope clearly written letter decreed there would never be a divorce approved by the Pope for Anton's marriage. Pope Otto harshly rebuked the arch bishop's extra-scriptural and non-apostolic revelations, and cited the holy scriptures: "But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."   There was a grand convention of bishops, dukes and counts which search the scriptures, holding debates, and came with a solution of the Lord High Protector being chosen as the head of the church by those willing beneath him and granting himself the divorce with his ex-wife going to a nunnery to avoid her. This was a very difficult sacrifice for Anton and His wife since they had grown to love each other through the trials of their arranged marriage since their youthful adventuring days and their many year ruling the protectorate together. His wife was a first Druid was of Aristocratic Envoy background from Schutland's Shwofen county. His second wife was a young Bard of Aristocratic Courtier background chosen by majority a vote of dukes and count. He only had a single child after the divorce, Anton HinAnton Dyo Herr Rustiastein.
