0 - 264: Elowin Finch
Elowin built the capital city of Algaia and its defenses, still impenetrable centuries later. He also helped establish the entire governmental body of the empire.
265 - 281: Pamo Finch
Pamo is remembered for failing to fill the enormous shoes of his father, Elowin. His rule ultimately ended in a short, but bloody, coup. Among the only major projects he was able to complete in his time on the throne was a gigantic statue, which his sister tore down upon replacing him, leaving only the statue’s severed head on a pedestal with a plaque detailing the folly of tyrannical leaders.
282 - 430: Donalia Finch
The rule of Donalia, Pamo’s sister, is most remembered for its expansion of naval technology, building battleships and large trade ships connecting Algaia to all of Osterrae.
It was also no secret that Donalia was positioning her son, Harper, to be the next ruler of Algaia.
431 - 747: Harper Finch
Harper Finch began the work of colonizing the continent. He built a powerfully defended port on the inner coast, Harpers Keep. It revolutionized the Empire’s trade capacity to move goods and weapons across Osterrae. By the end of Harper’s rule, the global economy of Osterrae hinged on Algaia’s resources.
748 - 941: Elador Finch
The armies of Elador the Mighty swept over Osterrae and transformed Algaia into a multi-continent empire worthy of its name.
They ended the war before conquering the entire continent, but the unclaimed territory was at such a gigantic resource disadvantage it was assumed the remaining enemies would die off from starvation in a few years’ time. The dragons asking for no claimed elven territory upon their victory was also seen as a diplomatic miracle credited to Elador.
