Elsk Normo was the governor of Mosont in the middle of 17th CSR.
He was the right-hand man of the founder of the city, Miernan Kolden, and took over after his death.
The Loodon river region was still recovering after almost a century of drought, and Mosont was in a favorable area. It thus quickly became known for its farming and high quality produce, and was trading with many neighboring regions at the time. Elsk institutionalized a lot of this trade, levying taxes, while at the same time negotiating large contracts with other city-states, bringing in big money into the city.
This made him popular with the citizens in his early years. However, later he began taking advantage of his position, creating an elite that would pocket most of the proceeds from the trading contracts. As the knowledge of the wealthy city-state grew, Elsk created an army, which he largely recruited from Tonaran. It defended the ruling class both from the outside and from its own farmers.
His reign ended when the superhero warrior Ginsag came of age and began to seek fame and power. Elsk attempted to enlist him first as commander, then as general of his army, hoping to begin expanding his power. But Ginsag wanted to be the ultimate ruler. After several raids, having earned respect of the army for his prowess in combat, he murdered Elsk, along with several of his guards, and instated himself and his family as rulers.
Elsk legacy survived in the form of a long-term contract between Mosont and Tarif, an economic center of Afanyu, that lasted for almost 50 more years, until the end of Ginsag.
