Redis I

Redis I was the ninth king of Ferraria. After his nephew Vikud II unexpectedly abdicated the throne and Redis' brother-in-law Ulasce was named Regent by some of Ironmoot, Redis declared war on the government itself, claiming it was trying to take power away from the royal family. Redis was the third son of Ferran II, so the lawful heir after Vikud II's abdication.

Redis' war was a continuation of the conflicts that his brother Geoth I had been fighting ever since he took the throne. Many rebel lords gathered armies to fight against Redis, but most of the army remained loyal to king. Redis was an experienced battle commander, having served as commander of the garrisons on Ormantella to guard his father's conquests. After five years of constant on-off fighting, Redis at last defeated his enemies, leaving the countryside a waste. Redis lacked the mercy many of his predecessors had, and he was ruthless in taking back control of his country and returning power to the crown.

The economy of Ferraria had been slowing down for a long time, but it completely crashed during Redis' reign. Many mines had to close due to a lack of workers to dig in them, and foundries were a common target for all sides to attack. However, before he died, Redis began to start rebuilding the economy. Using his army, Redis conquered lands on the border of Ferraria. He rose up the first Lord of Wood and Lord of Snow.

After Redis died, he was succeeded by his son Geoth II.
