Erich Adolf Sieger

Erich Sieger’s desperation has warped him into a singularly driven and ferocious man. Erich has ruled Sieger since he was a young man during the War. The young Erich started off as an idealistic and passionate follower of the Imperator and a staunch Objectionist. He believed his service to his Nation and to his ruler would earn him the Imperator’s thanks. Instead, Erich watched helplessly as Riefenstahl carved off a piece of Sieger land to make the Fischler barony.
Sieger originally stretched to the south and west, making it prime territory for invasion forces from Montaigne and Castille. Many of the worst battles of the War hopelessly ravaged the population and razed entire cities to the ground. Erich’s hope lay in peace finally restoring his land, but the Imperator had other ideas. The ruler had decided in his final days to carve off the southern edge of Sieger land to give to Castille should peace negotiations become possible, a decision honored in the Treaty of Weissburg at the end of the War.
Intent on keeping what little land he had left, Erich ordered his farmers to salt the fields to stymie invaders. Between the ruined fields and the Horrors, nobody wanted anything to do with Sieger land, even its own tenants. In the last twenty years, people have fled Sieger to all corners of Théah and across the Seas to find new lives. Only Erich and his most dedicated followers remain, eager to keep what little they have left.
Sieger is old, exhausted and out of sorts. He flies into rages and dangerous paranoia plagues him, consumed with the notion that others want to take the last of his land away. The fact that Wirsche has made overtures to annex parts of his land have not made this any better.
