Matthias Reisenburg II was the Anführer of the Stolvic Häverist Commonwealth and Helreich Häverist Commonhold of Helland during the latter half of the 76th century. Born on November 5, 7525 in the historic Reisenburg Castle of Himmelstein, Heiywern, Matthias Reisenburg II stands as a testament to the legacy of House Reisenburg. As the Anführer of both the Stolvic Häverist Commonwealth and the Häverist Commonhold of Helland, his influence extends far beyond his ancestral grounds.
Family Ties and Early Years
The child of Heinrich Reisenburg III and Julia Reisenburg, Matthias's lineage is deeply intertwined with Helreich's history. House Reisenburg, a former royal house, still retains its historical residence in Himmelstein, thanks to Wilhelm Reisenburg, Matthias's grandfather. The young Matthias was immersed in a world of history, culture, and training, aided by extensive libraries, dedicated private tutors, and skilled sword masters.
Educational Pursuits
Choosing to further his studies, Matthias enrolled at the esteemed Häverist Academia in Hoffnung. Despite his noble birth, Matthias's tenure was no easy ride. Treated like any other student, he faced academic challenges head-on, rising to be one of the institution's top students.
Military Commitments
Before delving into politics, Matthias dedicated years to the Reichsmarine, serving from 7543-7551. His tenure, marked by the tensions of the Pan-Anarian War, saw him rise to the rank of captain, reflecting his dedication and competence.
Life in Politics
Matthias's foray into politics was marked by years in the Hellish Gründer (7551-7557) and subsequently in the Commonwealth Gründer (7557-7562). These stints prepared him for his most prominent role, becoming the Anführer on July 17, 7562 RH, appointed by the National Gründer of Helreich.
Seen as a moderate in the Häverist political landscape, Matthias's reign is supported robustly by the Häveristische Zukunftsfähigkeit Partei. Additionally, his tenure is bolstered by the endorsement of the Volksforum Volksleiter.
Policies and Governance
Matthias's governance style resonates with his domestic focus on welfare. By expanding the Häverist academia and championing reforms in the energy sector, he emphasises education and sustainable urban development. On foreign soil, Matthias remains steadfast in protecting the Stolvic Häverist Commonwealth's interests against The Bind. His efforts for diplomacy are evident in the non-aggression pact and economic zone initiatives with Vittmark. Yet, this stance has spurred political debates, especially within the Commonwealth Gründer.
Every leader faces criticism, and Matthias is no exception. A significant contention arose from the boundary demarcations between Mörenburg and Vittmark. Former Direktor Rudolf Steier of Mörenburg publicly criticised Matthias for perceived concessions of ancestral lands. This controversy continued when the seceded area to Vittmark turned out to be rich in coal and iron findings, creating a basis for the development as Vittmark. Two decades later, when Vittmark provided military support to anti-Häverist forces in Aedeland, even Matthias had to admit that the price paid for peace on Stoldavia in the 7560's had both been too high and too ineffective. However, at that time in the 7580's, these parts of Mörenburg could no longer be reclaimed due to the presence of Anisoran and Auresian military in the region.
