A sophisticated, charming tyrant who is as willing to discuss the arts as he is to mercilessly crush his subjugated citizens, it is surprising then that Count Aericnein Neska is so well liked by the nobility. While he may rule with an iron fist, life in his home county of Barstoi is not all bad. Loyal service, hard work and ingenuity are all rewarded, while laziness and weakness are mercilessly stamped out. Aericnein is also hungry for conquest: he was responsible for the escalation of tensions with neighbouring Ardeal and Varno that lead to all-out civil war, known as the War Without Rivals, in 4687 AR, and the eventual creation of the wasteland known as the Furrows in 4693 AR. Despite this, he is still a popular noble in Ustalav and many would like to see him on the country's throne instead of Prince Aduard, believing that Aericnein could lead the country to a new golden age of conquest and power.12

His secretary is the hellknight Eilisilo Varga.2
