Tlaipbjer the Gatherer (IPA: /ðlɐepbjɐr/) was the first native Sjuun emperor of the second Yai-Sjuun Empire. Although there existed an empire before his time, Tlaipbjer was not a tribal leader nor of royal descent. The way he conquered the region known today as Sjuu is also remarkable. He didn't fight in many wars, instead he gathered tribes from all around via diplomacy. This awarded him the title of the Gatherer.
Early life
Tlaipbjer's early life is unknown except from some excerpts of the book his son Klibtat wrote about Tlaipbjer's accomplishments. He was presumably born somewhere in Sjuu, in a poor family with many siblings. He lived there for a few years until c. 387, when a hurricane hit his hometown and he had to flee with his family. However, only Tlaipbjer's mother and cousin survived, with his mother dying of old age a few years later. Later in April 399, Tlaipbjer was appointed leader of his town at the age of 20.
Reign
Formation of the Sjuun Empire
After becoming the leader of his town, Tlaipbjer went hard at work at unifying the neighbouring towns around him. In this time he met his wife Gidoku in a city close by. In the year 400 Tlaipbjer became the count of Mewrì. In the years to follow Tlaipbjer became more and more powerful. So powerful in fact, that he skipped becoming a duke and became King of Mewrì on 23 May 402, installing an absolute monarchy at the same time. After years of conquering and gathering, Tlaipbjer the Gatherer was coronated to supreme emperor of the Sjuun Empire on 25 November 403.
Assassination attempts
Although Tlaipbjer was generally praised by his subjects, multiple town leaders did not agree with having to listen to an absolute monarch. This lead to many assassination attempts and the flight of the emperor in c. 413. In 423, near the death of Tlaipbjer, his son Tlaipbjer II was assassinated. The hereditary law written by Tlaipbjer the Gatherer stated that the throne shall be inherited by the eldest son. After the death of Tlaipbjer II Kiflon I would be next in line, but he became a Gennist priest a few years prior. There were no laws disallowing Gennist priests to become emperors, but it was highly looked down on.
