Boljovan Personalities

Oratores: Those Who Pray

Albin of House Lyubka Bishop of the Boljovan Diocese of Minos Original article: Albin Lyubka Bishop Albin was born the fifth son of the prodigious Maxmilián IV "The High Hammer" of House Lyubka, Voievod of Boljova in 1290 IC. Albin proved to be a studious young man who had very little patience for the more boisterous past-times of his more martial brothers. He had a mind for mathematics and accounting and was more often found with his tutor from the Church of Minos than anyone else in his family. At the age of 13, he entered the priesthood of Minos as a Flamen of Minos. Albin's early career was somewhat unremarkable: he tended to be more secular than spiritual in his approach to the Church and the few who remained faithful during the Dark Times. In 1312 IC, when the Old Gods returned to the world, Albin discovered he was capable of channeling Divine magic and was called by Minos the Cockerel to continue to serve the Church. With his faith in Minos reinforced, Albin became deeply spiritual himself and worked hard to help reorganize the faltering Church in Dracia. In 1334 IC, Albin became Bishop of the Diocese of the Cockerel in Boljova, becoming one of the chief spiritual advisers to his brother, the Voievod Ljupcho of House Lyubka. Albin is known for being sober, serious and practical, in sharp contrast to his brother and, indeed, for most of House Lyubka. He is fluent or at least familiar in a dozen different languages and often serves as a translator for visiting dignitaries, both for his brother and periodically for the Queen of Dracia in Kzerna. Recently, he joined his brother on the front lines in Dracia's defense of Waldavia against Murgosia where served ably both as a spiritual leader among the troops and managing logistics for the force.

Bellatores: Those Who Fight

Ljupcho of House Lyubka Voievod of Boljova, Master of the Phalam Mines, Hammer of the Boltjovan Legions, Aparator of House Lyubka Ljupcho Lyubka Original article: Ljupcho Lyubka Despite his vast wealth (or perhaps because of it), Ljupcho is widely known to be as crass and crude as his fellow hillsfolk in the wild Moldogoi hills of northern Dracia. Shrewd in business as well as in war, the Voievod Ljupcho was instrumental in putting down the recent Boltjovan Rebellion. Ljupcho's sheer stubbornness and willingness to personally take the field, despite nearing his seventh decade, won both the respect of his unruly men and the Ivory Queen herself. Despite experiencing his share of setbacks in the Rebellion, he was named by the Queen "Hammer of the Boltjovan Legions". Ljupcho is loud, willful, smokes constantly and rarely completely sober, but he commands respect among his fellow nobility not only for his skill on the battlefield, but his aptitude with making coin.
