Backstory
The Ruriked house can find it roots date back to era of Varangians era of vikings. Varangian prince Rurik, who, according to tradition, established himself in Novgorod around the year AD 862. After the conquest of Kiev by Rurik's successor Oleg the Wise in c. 880, the Rurikids established a dynasty over the state of Kievan Rus'. Though deeply dived by family infighting. Has seen now that Kievan Rus is made of by the Rurikds who infight has become common place for the Ruriks. Though North east was easy tamed by Varangians. It was forced by them to convert to the faith of the romans by a number of princes who would spread the faith of Orthodoxy
Follow this it was that our Great Grandfather Vladimir the Great would try to centralize the Rus though his efforts would not pay out though the Kievan Rus would expand under his rule blood of Varangian prince Rurik and as well House Macedon know for Basil II or nicked named the Bulgar Slayer would see his blood line linked by political union with Vladimir house. Before his death his gifts was to centralise Princedom of Novgorod to be split from Kievan Rus. As such it would be that lands under unlike the rest of the Kievan Rus would be one that would be void of change hands
Follow his farther rise as a head of the Kievan Rus claim the Kingdom of Ruthenia as king though some have claim that should he die a number of Princes will seek his throne though been younger son. as such Prince Mstislav would be as been raised by his farther shown to be man who a diplomat and a forgiving person. Though now his farther has adress him the need to go and deal with the wilderness of the north east allied to his farther Prince has not shown to be one who is of not war but a humble diplomat and stewardship
Time will tell if Prince Mstislav can keep his Princedom safe or if he will follow his farther footsteps and proclaim a kingdom of his own
