Early life and education
Arkady Bozhidar u Mursya was born on 11th May 1846 in Brixivo's National Hospital. He was the first child of Miroslau II and Euthymia of Mopene. From birth, he has held the title Crown-prince of Mursland (Mu: Kralprints u Mursya).

In 1869, the Arkady requested an organisation to be founded for mapping the kingdom of his father. On January 11, 1870, the Mursian Geographic Institute was founded, who still exists today.

In 1870, he would marry Queen Isliva of Traxí, which would bind the nation in marriage ties. Their oldest child Mihalou would end up inheriting both titles and unify them in a personal union.

Reign
On 7th October 1874, Arkady became king of Mursland after his fathers dead.

Dead
On the 18th of July 1912, during a visit to Plovina, Arkady was shot by Traxian nationalist Haris Marinos. He initially surviving the shot and was rushed to the hospital. However, soon after arriving in the hospital, the king went into shock. He was given sedatives and went into a coma soon after. After a week of not waking up, it was deemed it could take years for the king to recover, if at all. The government, in agreement with the family, decided to prematurely abdicate the king. On the 27th of July, his son Mihalou became king. Arkady would pass away on the 4th of August, 1912, aged 66.

Many conspiracy theories surround Arkady's dead. Various claims are made that the doctor purposefully dosed too much sedatives that paralysed the king, or that the nurse supplied stronger medicine unbeknownst to the doctor. Other theories hold his son Mihalou responsible, because of the many scandals in his reign, or various nobility who might have felt their positions threatened by the vast riches Arkady columnated via his many industrial companies.

Trivia
