Ryukyu Fleet-Foot
First Alku Dono
Born a bastard son, Ryukyu leveraged a heroic deed into a commission in the Dono's army and later his military connections to usurp his elder brother and assumed control of the Alku Clan. He immediately leveraged that position into the title of Dono, forcing Hethral Darin IXX to abdicate.
After becoming Dono he continued to pursue expansionist policies, founding West Harbor, undertaking tax reform to the Dono's benefit in order to fund are larger standing army and even proposed a system of roads. This last dream never materialized as the elderly Dono finally died of food poisoning, passing his title to his eldest daughter.
