Olivia Canmoore

Born in Shizra in 2181, Olivia’s early life was rather simple. She was raised as almost any noble would be taught the ways to rule and the ways to oppress the peasants, though she found a surprising love of books and other written knowledge. She was known to spend days locked in her room looking over everything she could get her hands on. This didn’t last for long, sadly. With her parents being rather well known in the Region and around the world. She was expected to take up their torch, while not a big burden in terms of management she would have to have a large amount of political input. In 2202, Canmoore initiated a plot to frame VLG leader and Grandmagister Samuel Hollerzollen. While initially successful in her set-up, words of corruption soon reached the ears of Emperor Carolus de Mérode, who tasked Head Commander of the Army, Arcturus Eden, with arresting Olivia Canmoore in 2205. Eden failed and died at the hand of Canmoore's personal guard and Olivia herself went into hiding, leaving her daughter, Victoria Canmoore, behind in what became known as the Shizra Crisis. Olivia Canmoore soon became a controversial figure, certainly after the mysterious death of the Emperor. Eventually, she turned herself in to be braught to trial, but she committed suicide in 2210 right before the beginning of her trial. As a result, Emperor Ó Leannáin and the Pontifex stripped the Canmoore family of their Archducal title and reduced them to the status of Baron/Baroness. In addition, the vast oil fields of the Canmoore family came under control of the Church and other nobles.
