Segerik

Segerik was the discoverer of the iethallan mines. Though iethallan had been found in small quantities, Segerik's men were the first to find major deposits of it. However, they lacked the technology to mine it as efficiently as later generations would and extracted relatively small amounts which were used primarily in jewelry. Even this small quantity of iethallan bolstered his clan's wealth beyond that of any other in the region and iethallan discs became Andromache's earliest currency. As a military leader however, Segerik was quite ineffectual. His sense of vainglory led him to reject any suggestions made and eventually he was deposed by another member of his tribe to prevent him from squandering all of his wealth.
