My Story
No man can rule in the Mountains of Múspell. It is a mistake to think this way. I am but the instrument of my Lords' will, who are my equals, and the gods give us strength so that we may protect our people. What other purpose can a throne serve?
Lord Gazreth Estrise, Emperor of Arcadia
The mad Emperor of Arcadia rose to power after the Decree of the One God Avestar, which set in motion a campaign of world domination that began with Arcadia itself.
In his youth, Lord Gazreth was a noble knight descended from the Lords of Men who were responsible for driving the remnants of the children of Asag into the Northern Wastes. His progenitors include those Lords who slew the last of the Colossi after the turn of the millennium. When he was Lord of Albarith in Grael Fastness, Gazreth had three sons by the Queen of Albarith.
Gazreth usurped the throne of Moruin from Lord Paimon and declared himself Emperor of Arcadia after The Fall. Under the Decree of the One God Avestar, he demanded that all the Lords swear allegiance to his cause. It is said that on the day the Lords' Alliance was broken, the Foundation Stone in Castle Moongarm cracked, a physical manifestation of the breaking of the Alliance and the magic oath sworn by the Lords to protect the land from evil.
Of Gazreth's Crimes
The mad Emperor is cruel and vengeful. Most of his advisers avoid direct interaction with him, as his bouts of rage are unpredictable.
In the absence of a sane leader, the Empire is said to be run by three vying forces: the Congress of Judges, the Hierarchate of Avestar, and the Council of Albarith, whose governors are closest to the Emperor. All three further the Decree, but disagree with its execution, and seek a way to unseat the Emperor that will rally the generals of the Empire behind them.
In his reign as Emperor, Gazreth has overseen the deaths of millions through the conquest of war. His children grew up imprisoned in Grael Fastness, on suspicion that they might be used against him. Gazreth regularly has members of his retinue murdered, on suspicion that they are plotting a rebellion against him.
