Ludwig (von) Blutwasser, also known as Ludwig von Walstadt, or Sankt Ludwig was Prince of Whales from 1624 to 1627 and 1628 to 1629, interrupted by his son Karl. He was venerated as a saint throughout the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen which was named after him.
Ludwig was the biological son of Heinrich Blutwasser. In 1624, Jonathan Ayreon-Kalirion adopted him as part of divine Bovic relevation. Thus the older Ludwig (aged 38 at this time) became the legal son of Jonathan (then aged 21) and added Ayreon-Kalirion to his surname.
Ludwig von Blutwasser had 27 children with various wives, by conferring nobility to all his children he was able to gain an absolute majority in the House of Nobility to be able to pursue his agenda. While controversial at the time, the Decree on conferring nobility of VI.1624 remains one of the most influential decrees made in the history of Walstadt, as it is still the basis for the distribution of lordships throughout the Principality of Whales, as of 1704. Prince Ludwig retired in III.1629, only five years after he started his reign, leaving the principality in the hands of his son Lothar, and expressing the wish to spend his remaining years with his many wives.
It should be noted that while the Blutwasser dynasty became controversial in Natopia during the reigns of some of Prince Ludwig's misguided descendants, Prince Ludwig remained a loyal subject of the Natopian empire throughout his lifetime. In XIII.1631 following a shipwreck during a whaling trip, the line of Blutwasser was considered to be extinct, but his son Welf was found to be alive shortly after. Other children survived too, but did not return to Walstadt, rather they settled on shores to the north in Alexandria. After the Fall of Walstadt (1647-1648) more refugees joined them, and after the fall of Alexandria in 1650 they began to establish a community that venerated Ludwig as a saint, in 1682 this would lead to the establishment of the First Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen.
During his life Ludwig von Blutwasser was considered a believer in the Siseranist faith. In 1690, almost 60 years after his death Ludwiggian researchers discovered his personal diary. From this diary it was learned that Ludwig despised the Siseranist faith, and was secretly a follower of the Nazarene faith and an avid reader of the Holy Scripture. Especially close to his heart was the scriptural story of King Solomon, who Ludwig considered a soul mate.

Ludwig had 27 children. The mothers of his children were Anna of the Neurändern, Rosalda of the Neurändern, Adelheid of Light, Agata of Baat, Erna of the Apollonian Republic, Noriko of Senkyōwan, Anselma of the Elfinschenheide, Gunda of Baat, and Isolda of Light:
