The word emperor has come to mean many things over the course of three thousand years.
The representative of the human race and the kings,the destroyer and blight of the higher races, the bringer of peace and now the ruler of the entire continent.
The current emperor Aurelius Braxus Dawn could be said to have reached anew peak unseen by even his great predecessors , this is further cemented by the fact that he outshone them in their greatest accomplishments.
The first emperor became the representative and ruler of the kings making them nobles, he solidified the imperial power that had always been somewhat shaky and incoperated the other races as citizens of the empire with similar rights as a normal citizen.
The second emperor butchered the avian races to the extent that their distant allies ,the dragons had to step in .his actions scarred not only the avian races but all races as any that assisted the avian races were butchered alongside them , this forced the other races to reluctantly call a truce with the intervention of the dragons. Aurelius went a step further than him making them capitulate wholeheartedly with every seed of rebellion eradicated.
The third emperor brought in an era of peace and prosperity ,writing the law yet he brought about a long standing peace by unifying the continent and rewrote the laws to what the third emperor truly wished them to be without the compromise of the nobles.
Yet all his achievements were built on the blood and sweat of thousands and of course the hard work of the Mors family.
He could vaguely remember the first time he met a member of the Mors family , he looked but a boy in his twenties yet gave off a transcendent aura, black hair and golden eyes that seemed to see through him ,(I later found out he did).
We met around the whole debacle surrounding the Bravos family and the group of good for nothing from the Fabian family.
How could I forget the fact that they may have plaid a hand in the events that crippled my wife and blinded my son .
My hatred for them probably surppassed even that of house Bravos yet my hands were tied, they had their little hands in all of the higher nobility serving as the nobility's unofficial bank with many owing them favors.
The man introduced himself as Alan Mors of the up and coming trading company that had captivated the empire.
With no backing from nobility they'd grown as big as those whom had spent a fortune on the nobility's unrelenting greed.
Here was that young man spilling what could only be considered top secret information as though it were the most common of greetings leading one to believe he were a member of the imperial family.
From the fact that the three previous emperors were alive and in a form of stasis to the fact that the empire was on the verge of collapse due to the actions of the nobility.
He even confirmed my suspicions about house Fabian and the rot of the empire.
He directly came out and said that he'd already taken the house of Bravos as his surbodinate and that after some analysis on my rise to the throne, he'd changed his mind on destroying the imperial family and he'd rather we joined the Mors family.
Seeing as he didn't look stupid , had secret intelligence and gave me a sense of great danger , he'd given me a lot to think about and just as he was stepping out , he said words that pretty much won me over if true.
Your wife and son can easily be treated if you join us.
It took me an entire month to finally agree and only a day for them to break their laws about not turning people directly.
Me and my wife underwent the transformation with my wife attaining 'power' literal unlimited power and me attaining the power of law.
My wife could control all forms of power while my word became the law and it seems the stronger I became ,the more it could affect reality .
When I was told that I could transform others indirectly , I transformed my son who received a weaker version of my ability ,'judgment' as for my forbearers, the first received 'truth', the second war and the third 'oath' with all of them returning to their prime.
And so we plaid the court, the people and races.
It was in this manner we detected the presence of an enemy not from our continent behind the house of Fabian.
