Quote
“As long as I draw breath, the Empire is safe.”
The Emperor rules the world’s greatest human kingdom, known as The Dragon Empire for the mounts of its mightiest warriors. All the signs suggest that the age is turning, but will the Empire fall or shift to a new balance?
Common Knowledge
The Dragon Emperor hails from a long line of noble rulers. It is his nature to lead. To the civilized people, he is the champion of their safety and prosperity.
in 1356, a Battle of the Bards was organised in the Emperor’s name, won by a man who became Jakobia Alfred Pankatraz, or more commonly Jak o' the Wisp. It is said that a deep freindship with some scandalous rumours formed between the two, however after an evening of rare violence from the Emperor, who slew three serving men and banished 15 more, a warrant for Jaks arrest was issued. Declaring 1000 golden crowns for his capture, dead or alive.
Allies
The Archmage and The Preistess work closely with the Emperor. The Crusader and Great Golden Wyrm ostensibly are duty-bound to the Emperor, but they interpret that duty as they each see fit. The Dwarven King and The Elf Queen are united with the Emperor in pursuit of peace and security.
Enemies
The Lich King explicitly claims continued authority over the Empire, a treasure he seeks to reclaim from the Dragon Emperors. Gruumsh, The Orc Lord seems destined to face the Emperor, as the previous Orc Lord faced the Wizard King.
History
Ever since the first Dragon Emperor established the Imperial Seal, there has always been a Dragon Emperor. Elaborate and exacting ceremonies ensure that the power and authority of the original Emperor live on. The current Emperor is capable but essentially unproven.
The True Danger
Everything will be all right as long as the Emperor stands stalwart between civilization and chaos.
