  • Sigismund II, known more commonly as Sigismund the Conqueror reigned as Emperor of the Empire of Man from 479 IC to 505 IC. The ascension of the Reiklander Elector Sigismund to the Imperial throne was marked by the people of Reikdorf with celebration. In recognition of its importance, Emperor Sigismund II renamed the city of Reikdorf into Altdorf and re-instituted the Imperial Government to the capital of the Reikland. During his reign as Emperor, Sigismund had embarked on a grand building program within the confines of his capital city, but his real achievements during this age of conquest and prosperity was his participation in a period Imperial historians call "the Drive to the Frontiers". His most notable campaigns includes the conquest and subjugation of the Kingdom of the Jutones, integrating their tribal territory into the Empire and renaming it the Barony of Westerland, appointing the subjugated King as the new Elector Count. A devout Sigmarite, Emperor Sigismund then turned his attention to spreading the worship of Sigmar as the patron God of the Empire to other parts of his realm. This enforcement of religious dogma resulted in many religious strife amongst the other Imperial cults, but Sigismund harshly suppressed these uprisings with quick succession, allowing the Cult of Sigmar to spread their influence and worship out of the provinces of Reikland and Stirland and into other Imperial Provinces such as Averland and Wissenland. When word got out that a Norse invasion force were beginning to terrorize the northern borders, Sigismund lead his armies northward and fought against their beserker armies. Sigismund was unable to expel the Norse, but did reach an accord after several indecisive battles which limited the invaders expansion into the Empire as well as forcing their leaders to pledge an oath of fealty to the Emperor. Satisfied with the terms, The Conqueror led his armies to eastern Stirland to suppress the peasant uprisings. Sigismund was severely wounded in the engagement, but prevailed in destroying the rebels before they could do more harm. His exploits has also included his campaigns to cross the Grey Mountains and create the "West Mark" on the Bretonnian side of the mountains and invaded the southern lands of the Border Princes (then a wild, tribal region) to found the province of Lichtenberg and built a series of castles to protect the Empire's southeastern flank. Such were his achievements that many within the Empire have given the Emperor the title as "The Conqueror" and was proclaimed the greatest Emperor since the reign of Sigmar himself. After his death, his son Siegfried I would later become the new Emperor of the Empire.
