DIMWIT FLATHEAD
Excessive Ruler of the Empire
(723-789)

Dimwit, Mumberthrax's firstborn, grew up as heir to throne of Quendor. A tad spoiled  little Dimmie was fond of torturing his mannies in Castle dungeon.

Dimwit spent most of his early adulthood vacationing (with 40,000 attendants) in the sparsley populated Eastlands across the Great Sea. Dimwit , who despised the outdoors,* was enthralled by the underground caverns there.

When Mumberthrax felt death's icy hand in 770 GUE, Dimwit began his vibrant reign. He immediately moved the capital of Quendor from Egreth, in the Westlands, to Aragain, in the Eastlands. Aragain, a small village, was transformed and renamed Flatheadia. Dimwit also decreed that Quendor be called "The Great Underground Empire."**

Dimwit's grandiosity knew no bounds. His wondrous coronation ceremony*** quickly earned him nickname Lord Dimwit Flathead the Excessive. On a whim, in 783, he ordered the erection of Flood Control Dam #3, an underground project whose uselessness and cost did not diminsh its magnificence. He also had huge granola smelters built near the Antharian Granola Mines.

Some bitter, un appreciative chroniclers have described Dimwit's castle as his biggest folly. It covered 8,600 square bloits and housed, at one time over 90%of the empires population.

Dimwit's last great project was the erection of a huge statue of himself in the Fublio Valley. Nine bloits tall, it necessitated the deforestation of 1,400 square bloits.

It was rumored that Dimwit was planning the construction of a new continent in the Flathead Ocean; a continent whose contours would have resembled his own features. Sadly, Dimwit passed away in 789 before he could realize this incomparable goal. His death has always been shrouded in mystery.

*Dimwit was petrified of rain, which puddled embarrasingly on his level pate.
**Nowadays, these names are used interchangeably.
***The ceremony took thirteen years to plan and lasted eighteen fun-filled months.
