Montismo Versiaz (1453 (born on May 29)- 1523) was a man known for his piety, knowledge, intelligence, knowing of Scriptures and other things. He is famously known for falling to death (in battle) in the Battle of Redwall in the nation of Arcadia.

Montismo Versiaz was born to Zara and Ptolemy Versiaz on May 29, 1453. He had 3 brothers, 3 sisters when he was born. As a child, he was educated in the Academy of Sosthenes, a well known and illustrious academy. He was well liked in his childhood for his politeness, charity and other things. He was known to stay by the bedside of one of his sisters when they were sick. He took care of them in that time.

Montismo at age 13 met a girl named Andromeda. The two would become friends, later they would be in a relationship, then in marriage (in later years). At age 11, he had seen one of his brothers, Androcles join the Military and he saw him become a well known general.

At age 18, he was married to Andromeda and they moved to a mansion given to them as a wedding gift. They had several children, their first was a son named Damien.

At his 20's, he joined the Military and had a good career until he was drafted for service in the Great Civil War. The Great Civil War was between King Pharonius XII and rebel forces.

During the course of the Great Civil War, Montismo rose through the ranks, fighting in many battles. However, in the Citadel of Redwall, he fell defending the citadel. The Hero of Arcadia was gone.

However, King Pharonius XII still won the conflict. Later on, the King passed on and Damien Versiaz took power (peacefully and lawfully) and was named ''Emperor of all Arcadia''. Damien had his father's body placed into a Mausoleum at Pharonium.

Damien ruled from 1526-1550 and was succeeded by Lucian, his son. The first female ruler was Empress Zara (named after the mother of Montismo reportedly) who ruled from 1600-1666. Zara was a good Empress, respected in her reign but she passed on giving birth in 1666 to a girl, Princess Juliette.

Juliette was a controversial girl. Since she was born on 1666, some said she could play a part in the End of the World. She saw her father, Emperor Ionius II take over power from his late wife and Empress. Juliette was married to Andreas Frea, a nobleman by her father at a young age. They did raise a family and lived in a good home.

Juliette lived through the terms of several Emperors until her passing. Her last words are disputed. She may have said something about seeing her mother again, at 13 she was told of what happened to her mother and Juliette remember this always.

Andreas Frea was known to have stayed with his wife till the end. He lived for some time before passing as well. His last words are disputed as well but both Juliette's and Andreas' last words were probably something nice.

There was another female ruler, Zara II. Zara II was called ''The Weeping Girl'' because she was raped and abused as a child. Her father, Emperor Caesarion IX was called ''The Ruthless'' and he got rid of the person or people who did these things to Zara. She had twin illegitimate children because of this, she named them Violette and Amelie. The two girls were raised well and given a good life. Violette married a nobleman and Amelie married a well respected man. Both had families and both kept in touch.

Mosaics of Zara II sometimes show her crying, weeping or in lament. Her father is sometimes depicted with bloody hands, holding the head of a man and other things. Violette and Amelie are depicted in several ways as well sometimes.

After many a time, the current Monarch is Empress Zara III. Zara III is the current Empress of All Arcadia. She hopes for a good reign, her father recently passed away. She is a young woman who hopes to have a good reign.

How will the nation of Montismo Versiaz go into the 21st Century? We will have to wait and see.......
