The Patriot
In the year of our lord 1231 the Polarian Empire was coming close to it's end after they had placed their trusts in the wrong persons, which was about to cost them their Empire as well as their lives. It was after the death of Duke Zeimomysl Tilius, son of Mszczuj I Tilius Dominar of Polaria, when the son of Zeimomysl, Mszczuj II Tilius was approached by the Greek ambassadors. They brought an letter with them that contained an offer signed by the Emperor of the Byzantion. This letter contained an offer to expand in to the east to the Russian lands which were now ravaged by a civil war, the Kommenid Emperor offered Polaria an place in their Anti-Russian Alliance if Polaria would contribute in to the war that was soon to be declared against Russia. Polaria would have been gaining land towards the river Pripet if they were to join but after the the rise of several rebel counts in Polaria, Mszczuj II had to turn down the offer at the time but he said to the ambassadors that they should bring the Kommenids a message that after the end of the Polarian Civil War Polaria might be able to join.
So Mszczuj II marched to defeat the Rebels and he got close before his untimely death in Kaliskie where his armies defeated the Rebels but he suffered severe wounds that later killed him. So his oldes living son Swietopelk I Tilius inherited the throne of Polaria at the age of 14 in the year 1229. The young Dominar had inherited a land in turmoil and faced an great task to unify the land with the guidance of the Polarian Nobles. Only after a year of the coronation of Swietopelk I the Greek ambassadors returned to hear the answer of the Polarian's. Byzantion had already declared war against Russia together with Persia and they now waited Polarian response. The nobles were against the declaration of war against their former friend but when they heard that Byzantion had offered the Prussian lands previously offered to Polaria to the Bavarians the Polish nobles got furious and a war was declared on Russia.
The nobles soon realized that they had been deceived and Byzantion had never any intentions to give any land to Polarians as they just wanted to use their armies to create pressure on the Russians. By this time both Chemiskie and Marienburg had been conquered by the Polarians to protect the Prussian people. When the ARA started peace negotiations with All the Russias the Polarian delegate was not even mentioned and their claims were to be given to the Bavarians who had been constantly losing battles against the Russian and Finnish armies. Furious about this the the Polarian delegate contacted the Byzantion and the ARA only to be given an answer about how the Polarians were dishonorable scums and were not part of the alliance.
The nobles returned to Polaria and started immediately to plan for their future actions. They offered to give up the title of Polarian Empire to the Russians and pledging themselves to All the Russias. They even offered to give up all of their lands without a fight to All the Russias. But every time the Russian answer was "I must break you". The Polarian nobles started to get worried and even went so far that they offered themselves to the Finnish lords who were now involved in the peace talks. But again the Russian answer came with a cold voice and it was "We will destroy your nation and your people". When news of this reached the Polish population they immediately made it clear that the Russians may come to try and take over their lands but the Polish people would fight to the bitter end and as long as a one Polarian able to fight was standing Polish people wouldn't be defeated. When the Nobles and the Dominar heard of this they pledged their full support to the people of Polaria and swore that Polaria would rather burn than submit to the Russians.
