Colonial Pallolina
Lafayette was the youngest son of the Governor of Pallolina, Limsmith Harmen and his wife Parling. His mother, Parling, did not survive his birth, and this tragedy was the first of many that filled Lafayette's life. Due to illnesses, spontaneous violence, and random accidents, all of Lafayette's six elder siblings died before Lafayette's tenth year. As Limseth's sole remaining heir, Lafayette was constantly by his father's side as Limseth needed his son to understand what it meant to be a leader. This training was prescient as Limseth died after a Godsphere fell off the front of an Ultima Church and crushed the Governor following a service. Alone, Lafayette was named Governor of Pallolina at the young age of fifteen. This string of deadly tragedies took his father as well, and at the young age of fifteen, and illnessHe had six older siblings
