The Rise of House Ptolomos

Peter Ivanovich III was dead to begin with, his rotting corpse had been left on the throne of the Iasacian royal palace for a week, the Iasacian summer heat causing it to fester in its own liquids. Few would enter the throne room as a result of this. In the meantime arguments had broken out between the four remaining heirs to the throne, there was the first in line David Peter Ivanovich, a senile and deaf 100 year old man by the time his father had died, the second in line, his brother, Octavian Ivanovich was 88 and was aging fast. As for their own children, all their heirs had been stricken from the record after Napoleon and Theodosius had fled the country.

However, Lurking in the shadows was the House Advisor, the 88-year old Ptolemy Ptolomos III, a descendant of Antiochus Seluces II, who had been the first human ruler of Kazakhstan on Artemis...the Seluces family had maintained a grip on the lands until Selus Seluces IV lost the throne of Kazakhstan to a neko, therefore casting the family down into misery.

However, an escape from poverty was provided in 2545 when Hadi Seluces married into the wealthy Nasir family, a Yazakh family which had immigrated to Equestria on Aethent following the countries final dissolution in 2520. A marriage to the wealthy Ptolomos family of Iasacia in 2562 cemented the Ptolomos-Seluces line. Such was the lineage of Ptolemy Ptolomos III, who had been hired as a close advisor to the ailing Peter III.

Stepping forward to the dueling family he proposed that as the closest confidant to the Tsar, he should be awarded the throne. Initially being laughed down, the deal was cemented when he noted that there no longer were any heirs that could legally take the throne. As such he was proclaimed the new Tsar of Iasacia, being considered the last resort for the Ivanovich Family.

Thus the Reign of Ptolemy Ptolomos III began in Iasacia.
