Perrenland Politics

Orgus Bildgear

Untervoormann 593 CY, acting Voormann 593-594 CY, Voormann 594 CY to present, Hetmann of Niederschlauss and Councillor of Traft Canton to 593 CY

The current Voormann, Orgus Bildgear, was a popular candidate in 591 and 592 CY. Orgus campaigned on a platform of action against Iuz, promising to prepare Perrenland for what he called the "inevitable" breach of the non-agression pact by the forces of Iuz. This struck a chord among many of the citizens of Perrenland, as did his call to add the Sepia Uplands to the Convocation of Concatenation.

"Good citizens! Intelligent voters! It seems that we cannot ignore the threat of Iuz any longer. For too long, we have allowed our border to the east to go unchecked, ill-explored, and unfortified. This is because it is still an untamed wilderness inhabited either by little folk who do not understand the threat of war, or creatures who would rather work against us, than with us. And so it is time to do what we should have done long ago. Tonight I promise that if I am elected Voormann, I will order that the 1st Auszugen march on the Sepia Uplands and claim it in the rightful name of Perrenland! It is only then that we will be able to protect the little folk, and drive the murderous creatures who lurk there back to whence they came - once and for all. Then, will we fortify and wait. We will wait until Iuz, himself, faces us across our border! We will wait until this useless pact of neutrality runs its course. Then we will retaliate, and Iuz will know at last that Perrenders may be good at fighting other people's wars - but at home, they will defend themselves with even more tenacity, bloodspirit, and hardened battlestrength! Soon, Vesbergen will be ours. Soon, Iuz will know that we are watching him! For Perrenland!!"

A political deal between then-Voormann Karenin Weisspeer and Pfalzgraf Guthrie Roodberg in 593 CY saw Orgus put aside his ambition and agree to become Karenin's running mate in exchange for a promise that Karenin would appoint him as his Untervoormann if elected. Karenin was indeed re-elected, appointed Orgus his Untervoormann, and then disappeared following the destruction of the Concatenated Council's meeting chambers by Karl Hussen. In Karenin's absence, Orgus became the acting Voormann. Following Karenin's state funeral in 594 CY, Orgus formally succeeded him as Voormann. His first act as Voormann was to end the non-agression pact and declare war on Iuz. "A Voormann dead, a nation deceived, regicide will be avenged and Perrenland will make a stand against evil and tyranny. We can stand idle no more as the world falls around us. Perrenders, I declare a state of war, and I call the Pax to comply with its ancient oath."

Orgus is a stout, portly man with thinning black hair and a trimmed goatee. He has a severe limp, caused by a battle injury to his right leg.
