Major House Malchanov

House Malchanov is the ruling family of the Kingdom of Moscova in the North. Their words are '"Heed the Eagle's Cry." '

First Czar of Moscova Antonin Malchanov (Reigned 75 AFE - 113 AFE)
Antonin was born in Pravdka during the spring of 55 AFE, third in line to the duchy of Tarkeroff. Antonin's early life is poorly documented, but we know he was beloved of the people (unlike his potato boy eldest brother) and an organizational genius. The second son of the family died tragically during errantry, which left the youngest in a position to secure his father's throne were his eldest brother to have a tragic accident, which unfortunately he did.

Antonin was anointed Duke of Tarkeroff in 75 AFE, and set out immediately to rally a formidable army. Using his diplomatic (and in one event tactical) capabilities he also secured the small village of Rudnya. This would become the formative event of early Moscovite history. Not a year after conquering the hamlet, it was discovered that the mines north of Rudnya contained gold.

Minting this precious metal quickly turned Pravdka, then a city built entirely on iron, into a commercial center of the region. The coin produced allowed Antonin to fund his projects within the city and the region outside. He purchased the land that would become Bulgerov from the Duchy of Clotz. He mobilized a massive host, and clashed bitterly with House Corikoniv over the lands that would become the city of Kolkhov, securing lands that stretched from the center of the nothern portion of the continent all the way to the lands of the Woad Wood.

Antonin slowly faded into retirement, allowing his daughter Valeriya Malchanov to manage much of the organization of his new lands. This proved to be a wise decision that allowed for the explosion of population and infrastructure that would occur during her reign, which began officially with Antonin's death in 113 AFE. Antonin would be remembered as a legendary military commander and tactician for many generations, though more scholarly opinions in time would reveal that he was really a more capable diplomat and strategist then general.
