Cares I of Sassyar

Cares I of Sassyar, popularly known as Cares the Wealthy, was the founder of the Kingdom of Sassyar. A An envious and regimental slaver, he forced his army of slaves to build the city of Lyzentos out of pure marble. His wealth earned him the respect (and fear) of many Sassyari princes, who pledged fealty to him and proclaimed him a God amongst men.

The next years of Cares' rule would be punctuated by his formation of a Holy Guard, as well as his creation of the Pride of Sassyar, a magnificent fleet that could consume the horizon at his very command. He spent a great deal of money importing silk, tea, and other foreign commodities from Crevidia. Ultimately, he died during his old age alongside his wife, Vaneria, to be succeeded by his son Alexander.

History
"Despite being the richest man in the world in life, Cares died a humble lecher."

- Vanerio III of Sassyar

Cares was regarded as an astute, proud, and greedy man. Enamoured with the thrill of spending money, he saw his fortune decay over twenty years. His successor, Alexander, inherited almost nothing.

Ultimately, Cares was worshipped in the Sassyari pantheon as a god of greed, pride, and wealth.
