Ico

Ico was a male Human who served as the 33rd Tulkon. He was born in Toyb, Ilois Republic, in 2991. Ico was quarter-Elf from his father’s side and quarter-Dwarf from his mother's side.

The world had mostly healed in the century since the Immortal War, and Tulkon Vonha had put in place enough reforms to ensure that the world would be at peace for as long as possible. Thus, Ico took his early years as the Tulkon as they came, going with the flow. He was a gifted engineer, and spent his time helping advance the growing industrial revolution. Some of his most notable inventions included steam ships and locomotives. Many of his inventions were products of a magical method he had developed known as Mechagia, which blended magic with science.

As a peacetime Tulkon, he had the job of ensuring that all nations followed treaties put in place by his predecessors. He also created an amendment to the Onor-Ynofora Codes that no person, immortal or not, could rule a country for longer than twelve years. Since the Immortal War, Zetopa had become somewhat of a deity in countries where he ruled, and a small cult formed to worship him attempted to assassinate Ico, but he managed to fight them off.

Later, a deadly outbreak of disease originated in Nokina. Eventually the disease spread to all of the human Ditarre nations as well as Norte-Muldox and Keghotogh. Ico tried using his powers to cure the disease, known as Colitzl, but became infected himself. Colitzl rapidly spread around Ditarre and infected nearly every single province, killing hundreds of thousands of people. Ico unleashed vast amounts of healing energy to cure people infected with the desease. However, he was unable to cure himself, and he died of Colitzl a short time later in 3034 AT.

Colitzl devastated the economies of the countries it affected and greatly damaged morale and their citizens' livelihoods. Ico's successor, the Orc Goroch, worked to heal Ditarre and helped it recover. Ico is best remembered for ending the Colitzl Plague, an action that would unfortunately cause a rise in Tulkonist extremism, and for his numerous industrial advancements that would influence both the global economy and environment.
