'''Riordan VIII de Weluta''' (''Riordan Julius Velucianus Augustus Carolinicus''; born 13 June 1986) is the current [[Apostolic King of Urcea]]. By the merit of his position, he is the head of the [[House de Weluta]] and titular [[Emperor of the Levantines]], ruling as '''Riordan II'''. Riordan's father, Aedanicus, was [[Prince of Halfway]] and was expected to succeed Riordan's grandfather, King Aedanicus IX. Prince Aedanicus's death at the age of 33 in 1996 elevated Riordan to the position of Prince of Halfway. | '''Riordan VIII de Weluta''' (''Riordan [[Julii (Estate)|Julius]] Velucianus Augustus Carolinicus''; born 13 June 1986) is the current [[Apostolic King of Urcea]].

Succeeding his grandfather in 2006 at the age of 20, King Riordan's reign has largely been characterized by a period of a divided [[Government of Urcea]], which allows the Monarch wide authority under the [[Constitution of Urcea]], and the King's focus has largely sat on foreign policy, a reversal of that of his successor. His early reign was characterized by a period of renewed enmity with [[Caphiria]] over the expansion of [[Quicksilver Industries]] as well as the permanent status of [[Urlazio]] and other issues. These tensions were relieved by one-on-one negotiations with Imperator [[Alexander Constantinus I]] which, after several years, resulted in a more formal discussion that produced the [[Assumption Accords]]. Following a resolution with Caphiria, the Kingdom's attention turned to the establishment of the Kingdom of [[New Yustona]], which many sources and scholars have noted were probably at the personal urging of the King. The King's dual interests have been rapprochement with Caphiria - not only including the Assumption Accords but repeated efforts to mend the [[Great Schism of 1615]] which culminated with the [[Eight Points Agreement]] - and expansion of Urcean influence in [[Crona]]. | Succeeding his grandfather in 2006 at the age of 20, King Riordan's reign has largely been characterized by a period of a divided [[Government of Urcea]], which allows the Monarch wide authority under the [[Constitution of Urcea]], and the King's focus has largely sat on foreign policy, a reversal of that of his successor.
