Zigmunt Aesfrost is a minor mentioned character in Triangle Strategy.

Profile[]

Zigmunt was the previous Archduke of the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost, and is succedded by his son Gustadolph Aesfrost by the time Triangle Strategy begins. In the midst of the Saltiron War, Zigmunt took Orlaea, the renowned liberator of the Roselle, as one of his concubines. Zigmunt and Orlaea's relations resulted in Frederica Aesfrost being born. Towards the end of the Saltiron War, Hyzante offered Aesfrost a peace treaty under one condition: Zigmunt returned Orlaea to Hyzante. Zigmunt agreed to the these terms, sent Orlaea to Hyzante, and signed the peace treaty. Zigmunt died shortly after the Saltiron War ended.

Saltiron War[]

Saltiron War

The Saltiron War was a conflict between the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost, the Kingdom of Glenbrook, and the Holy State of Hyzante 30 years before the events of Triangle Strategy. It all began when Archduke Zigmunt Aesfrost grew furious at Hyzante's monopoly over salt. Zigmunt contacted King Regna Glenbrook regarding passage into Hyzante, and asked for an alliance with Glenbrook. Regna agreed to allow the Aesfrosti army to pass through Glenbrook's land, with the catch being Aesfrost must maintain joint control over the Source with Glenbrook once they conquer Hyzante. When Aesfrost first marched on Hyzante, the Goddess' Shield kept the Holy State safe for a while. But what truly drove back the Aesfrosti was a warrior sought out by the hierophant: a warrior by the name of Symon Wolffort. Symon and his clan drove back Aesfrost's forces, and proved themselves to be a fearsome band of warriors.

The war came to a standstill, with House Wolffort and Hyzante fending off Aesfrost and Glenbrook. During the standstill, the hierophant succumbs to illness, and the Saintly Seven bicker over who would succeed the hierophant. Orlaea, a Rosellan, uses this chaos to encourage her fellow Roselle at the Source to rebel and flee Hyzante. Saint Archibald Genoe assists the Roselle in their escape, and is promptly dismissed from the Saintly Seven. Hyzante made an effort to cover up this embarassing show of instability, as soon after Minister Idore Delmira finally found a new Hierophant.

The standstill continued for years, until King Regna took initiative and met in secret with Symon Wolffort. The two agreed to withdraw themselves from the war, and demanded Aesfrost and Hyzante to do the same. Aesfrost and Hyzante, not wanting to face the combined might of Glenbrook and the Wolffort clan, ceased their fighting and entered into a peace negotiations with Glenbrook. Zigmunt had to hand over the escaped Roselle Orlaea to Hyzante, before Hyzante finally signed the peace treaty and ended the war. The three countries maintain the borders before the war and establish the Norzelian Consortium to fairly manage the trade of salt and iron around Norzelia. King Regna rewards Symon's valor by making him the lord of House Wolffort, along with giving other members of the Wolffort clan houses of their own. Regna appoints Gorde Telliore, Symon's advisor, as the lord of House Telliore. Regna appoints Landroi Falkes, an archer in Symon's clan, as the lord of House Falkes.
