Mondo Etzeterra, King of Riskai, Duke of Etzeland, Viscount Ermingander, Baron Mondo of Lichport, commonly known by the mononym Mondo, is a lich and adeptus ruling over the unrecognised states of Northbloom in central Benacia, Etzeland in southern Cibola, and Riskai and Varmland in eastern Keltia.

He is believed to reside within Fort Ermingander, Northbloom.

Origins

Almost nothing is known about Mondo's origin and early life. An autobiographical pamphlet entitled Who the Hell is Mondo? identifies him as the illegitimate son of Clarence Etzeterra, Marquess of &zeter, and the Minarborian Princess Royal Octavia, and claims he "mostly assembled [him]self from spare parts lying around", but fails to provide further details in support of either assertion.

Return

Having lapsed into a lengthy period of torpor in 1661 AN, Mondo unexpectedly broadcast his return to Micras in the Cibolan Cake Declaration of 20.II.1702.

King of Riskai

In 1702 AN, he was invited to assume the vacant throne of the restored Kingdom of Riskai, which had formerly been ruled by his Rossheim ancestors. He was, at the same time, also given the loyalty of the people of Varmland.

Mondo Things and Other Interests

Mondo has many esoteric interests, which are collectively termed Mondo Things. The exact nature and scope of Mondo Things remains the subject of considerable speculation.

He possesses a strong admiration for Obedience Cat, known to him as Catmonster, whom he has described as "very pretty and exciting." Since his reawakening, he has also exhibited a burgeoning interest in cakemaking.

Reactions to Mondo

In 1702, the Order of the Holy Lakes, examining the genealogy of Mondo, (somewhat reluctantly) confirmed that Mondo indeed was a Knight of the Holy Lakes by virtue of descent from Kaiser Aiomide.

Mondo is one of the entities that is routinely monitored by the Defence Against Anomalous Phenomena Command maintained on behalf of the Raspur Pact. By virtue of the assumption that the entity will be content to remain in its place of power if left undisturbed, most surveillance is conducted via a network of remote sensors and observation posts distributed throughout Northbloom. The Benacian Union is also reported to have a task force, built around a motorised infantry regiment, ready to deploy into Northbloom if any serious necromantic incident, above and beyond coded broadcasts disguised as esoteric cake recipes, were to occur.

Cult of Personality and Mondosphere

Territories belonging to the Mondosphere

Mondo is the focus of an extensive cult of personality across Micras. Those territories with particularly strong cultural or political support for Mondo are collectively known as the Mondosphere.
