'''King Aedanicus VIII''' (Aedanicus Julius Velucianus Carolinicus; 1 February [[1822]] - 21 December [[1889]]), known as '''Aedanicus the Great''', was [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Apostolic King]] of [[Urcea]] from 1841 until his death in 1889. His 48 years on the throne is the [[List of Urcean monarchs|second longest in Urcean history]], and during his time on the throne Urcea became culturally and militarily ascendant, ushering in a period known as the [[Aedanicad]]. His reign also saw considerable development of the [[Constitution of Urcea]] as the King focused more on military matters, such as the [[Third Caroline War]], architectural concerns, such as rebuilding the [[Julian Palace]] and construction of the [[Carolina-Grand Canal]] as well as cultural matters, such as the [[Tria nomina movement]], than on political matters, although he did issue sweeping legal reforms with the publication of the [[Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State|''Consolidated Laws'']] in [[1885]]. Much of his reign was characterized by the enmity between Urcea and its neighbors in the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], and his reign constitutes the majority of the period referred to by historians as the [[Recess of the Julii]]. His failure to reign in the ascendant political power of the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]] lead to the rise of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]] and the [[Red Interregnum]], tarnishing the King's memory for the generations immediately following his reign. Given high praise by 21st century and contemporary historians, the King's legacy was maligned in the early 20th century but was rehabilitated following further scholarship and historical revisionism. Scholars consistently rank him as among the top five Kings of Urcea.
'''Otisco''' is a [[Urcea]]n territory in northern [[Crona]]. It sits in the northern end of the [[Nysdra Sea]] and borders [[Venua'tino]].

For all of its history until 2032, Otisco was part of a larger region known as [[Venua'tino]], and for most of recorded history it was a peripheral part of the tribal lands of the Owasco peoples. During its association with the Owasco, the territory now known as Otisco came under foreign hegemony twice: first, at the hands of the [[Quetzenkel|Quetzen]] during their [[Venua%27tino#Quetzen_hegemony|northern hegemony]] from about [[1440]] to [[1640]], then; at the hands of [[Varshan]], during its [[Venua%27tino#Polar_Captaincy|Polar Captaincy]] period which lasted from [[1652]] through [[1964]]. During both of these periods, what Owasco peoples there were were displaced by the southerners, as the territory of Otisco provided useful harbors and an island from which to project power. Following the withdrawal of Varshan in the 1960s, its military installations in Otisco were abandoned, and ethnic Varshanis living in the area withdrew. The Owasco tribe reestablished limited political control over the sparsely populated area which was recognized by the new [[Venua'tino|League Mandate for Venua'tino]] administered by [[Urcea]]. Urcea negotiated certain rights in the territory in the [[2020]]s and began to resettle [[Varshan]]i refugees, particularly those from the [[Varshani caste system|lower castes]], in the area of Otisco. Applications for settlement were taken under the guise of "repatriation" - that is, the refugees claimed their ancestors were brought to slavery in Varshan from Venua'tino, though international observers and geneticists proved that most refugees were of varied origin and that Urcean officials did not diligently require proof of ancestry. By [[2031]], 2,000 Varshanis had been relocated to or were approved to be relocated to the territory.

In the 2030s, the Owasco negotiated a sale for the territory known as the [[Otisco Purchase]].
Born the grandson of [[History of Urcea (1798-1902)|King Niall V,]] whose reign was characterized by reform, the young Prince Aedanicus idolized his grandfather as the model ruler throughout his life. Aedanicus's youth was spent preparing for the throne, but the relative youth of his father - King Patrick II, who was 37 upon his ascension in 1837 - meant that many considered Aedanicus's reign far in the future. The young Prince spent much of his time in his studies and was considered by contemporaries to be an able polymath, abilities which were greatly enhanced by propaganda. Aedanicus had a falling out with his father in early 1840 over the Prince joining the so-called "war party" in the court, which advocated for immediate hostilities to reclaim the [[Grand Duchy of Carolina]]. King Patrick II was hesitant to go to war, and losing the confidence of his heir greatly offended him. In political exile, the sudden death of his father four years into his reign propelled Aedanicus back into the center of Urcean politics. Coronated in [[St. Peter's Archbasilica]] in 1841, the newly minted King Aedanicus spent the first two years of his reign preparing for war. Almost exactly on the second anniversary of his ascension, in April 1843, the opportunity finally came and Urcea invaded Carolina, beginning the [[Third Caroline War]].

History

Venua history and the Owasco

For all of its history until 2032, Otisco was part of a larger region known as Venua'tino, and for most of recorded history it was a peripheral part of the tribal lands of the Owasco peoples. During its association with the Owasco, the territory now known as Otisco came under foreign hegemony twice: first, at the hands of the Quetzen during their northern hegemony from about 1440 to 1640, then; at the hands of Varshan, during its Polar Captaincy period which lasted from 1652 through 1964. During both of these periods, what Owasco peoples there were were displaced by the southerners, as the territory of Otisco provided useful harbors and an island from which to project power. Following the withdrawal of Varshan in the 1960s, its military installations in Otisco were abandoned, and ethnic Varshanis living in the area withdrew. The Owasco tribe reestablished limited political control over the sparsely populated area which was recognized by the new League Mandate for Venua'tino administered by Urcea. Urcea negotiated certain rights in the territory in the 2020s and began to resettle Varshani refugees, particularly those from the lower castes, in the area of Otisco. Applications for settlement were taken under the guise of "repatriation" - that is, the refugees claimed their ancestors were brought to slavery in Varshan from Venua'tino, though international observers and geneticists proved that most refugees were of varied origin and that Urcean officials did not diligently require proof of ancestry. By 2031, 2,000 Varshanis had been relocated to or were approved to be relocated to the territory.

In the 2030s, the Owasco negotiated a sale for the territory known as the Otisco Purchase.
