Apostolos

Apostolos was the first imperial governor of Andromache. Because of the newness of his office, Apostolos was a particularly brutal governor. He crushed several rebellions during his reign, planting spies throughout Andromache to sow disorder amongst potential rebels. Under Apostolos, rebellions eventually died down and he and the Empire used that lull to conscript miners to work the iethallan mines. Though most of the stone was shipped back to the imperial capital, Andromache received its first paved roads as a result of the influx of capital. Iethallan was used to pave the roads of the Administrative District (future Palace District) and to modify the the old Firnaran fortress into a proper gubernatorial palace. Apostolos added a few new spires as well as a new facade in the imperial style to replace the "barbarian" Firnaran architecture. The roads throughout the rest of the city were paved in more common stone but held well throughout the years. Once Apostolos was secure in his position, he began refusing to pay taxes to the Empire, attempting to exert autonomous rule over Andromache. He was promptly arrested and executed for treason.
