| Message | Response to the CDP: Official records detail Zhelezo Immeressen as a candidate in Likatonian politics, for the first time, when he took the combined Emissary/Advocate positions as the head of the Sturm und Drang Partei in April of 2370. It is not recorded how old he was on gaining office, but estimates suggest he must have been in his 20's, at least. He was also elected to the Head of Government in the summer of 2464, and to the Advocate position in 2469. He stood for Head of State on the Sturm und Drang ticket again in 2618. He led a resurgent Sturm und Drang Partei campaign in 2724. The current Throne of Immeressen party was formed in 2891, bringing The Immortal Zhelezo Immeressen back into Likatonian politics as a contendor for the Emissary position. |
