    I, Croesus, ancient king of Lydia, once adorned with wealth beyond measure, now humbled by the hands of fate and the Persian king Cyrus the Great. My reign marked by opulence and grandeur, now a cautionary tale of hubris and downfall. Born to King Alyattes and a Carian noblewoman, my legacy is one of riches lost and wisdom gained.
