Magasevetus abdicated the following year in [[1960]] in favor of his son Magasevetus II in hopes to strengthen the country post-war. Following his abdication, Magasevetus went into self-exile in the [[Escal Isles]] to avoid being prosecuted for war crimes. He died less than a year after in [[1961]]. He was posthumously tried and convicted of war crimes in the late 1970s and his remains were moved to Venceia in [[1985]]. | Magasevetus abdicated the following year in [[1960]] in favor of his son Magasevetus II in hopes to strengthen the country post-war.

Juvano Ubalvano Baldolianti was born in Augsustanis, the capital of the Province of Caseni on 22 November [[1873]].

The House of Tervarinus was relatively new and did not carry the weight and prestige of other house names, but his father Erassinico Iseli had become highly influential during the reign of Niceroslav and had gained the favor and trust of the Imperator. This led to a rapid rise through the aristocracy and nobility for House Tervarinus; as an expression of his gratitude Niceroslav gave Iseli 30 acres of land to construct his own estate. | ||
This estate, the [[Villa della Carnicul]], is where Baldolianti spent most of his youth. From an early age, Baldolianti showed an interest in politics, the military, and sports and was primarily tutored by Amaurio Ulbertaglio of Tauricim. Despite this, Baldolianti was brought up in an authoritarian and militaristic household and expected to "show an exaggerated deference to his father"; both in private and public. Baldolianti always had to get down on his knees and kiss his father's hand before being allowed to speak, even as an adult and he was expected to stand to attention and salute whenever his father entered a room. | This estate, the [[Villa della Carnicul]], is where Baldolianti spent most of his youth.

As a result of the close relationship between his father and | As a result of the close relationship between his father and Niceroslav, Baldolianti was able to observe the inner workings of Caphiric politics and frequently spent time traveling the Imperium with Niceroslav. This relationship began and grew partly as a result of Iseli's influence and partly due to the fact that Niceroslav had no heir apparent. On his 17th birthday, the first major sign that Niceroslav was seriously considering having Baldolianti succeed him came in the form of naming Baldolianti his godson. He was also given the honorary title, Duke of Augsustanis. The appointment of this title caused friction between Baldolianti and his father, who was becoming increasingly paranoid that he was losing his son to the Imperator. | ||

In [[1892]], Baldolianti pleaded with Niceroslav to remove his father as his advisor and as head of House Tervarinus. Niceroslav agreed to do so on the condition that on his 21st birthday, he would take the title "princeps iuventutis" ("the first amongst the young") and become his heir apparent. | ||
On his 19th birthday, Baldolianti assumed control of his family's affairs and become patriarch of House Tervarinus. Immediately after, he dismissed all of his father's friends from the house, [[Horse racing in Levantia#Burgundie|sold off his father's racing horse collection]] (which numbered 1,000 horses) and cut down on extravagances to pay down the debts that his father had incurred in his wild efforts. to subvert his son. Baldolianti siezed control of the Villa della Carnicul and banned his father from the premises until [[1901]]. Over the next two years, Baldolianti would travel across Imperium and frequent other countries and become known for his promiscuity and romantic affairs. | On his 19th birthday, Baldolianti assumed control of his family's affairs and become patriarch of House Tervarinus.

The arrangement that existed between Arieri and Baldolianti was highly unusual for the time There was no immediate investiture ceremony (tradition dictates that once a successor has been chosen, the Imperator must argue his choice before the Senate who will pass a final judgement) and without the Senate's explicit blessing there was no legitimacy to the line of succession. | ||

Immediately thereafter, Baldolianti was then enrolled at the [[Moncalieri Academy of Military Science]] in [[Magenevum|Magenevum Province]], the Imperium's most prestigious military academy. As is the tradition upon graduating, Baldolianti was commissioned [[Imperial Legion#Military%20ranks|Legionary Grade I]] the following year. Serving within Legio LXIII, Baldolianti was mainly deployed out to the Imperium's various overseas possessions, most notably in [[Escal]] and [[Zaclaria]]. | ||
