Emperor and Company
Rhylyn - Emporer of Kalamore and Servant of the Pure One
Rhylyn, the Emperor who casts a shadow over the entirety of Kalamore, is a figure of unyielding authority and zealous devotion to the dark entity known as the "Pure One." For what feels like an eternity, Rhylyn's iron grip has clenched the throat of the continent, toppling ancient monarchs in the name of purging all perceived impurity from the land. His singular objective is crystal clear: no soul shall remain untainted, every being must undergo the crucible of purification to expunge their supposed sins. City by city, Rhylyn's forces march, transforming those who dare oppose him into mindless puppets of the "purified." As each settlement falls to his crusade, a puppet ruler from the "Council of White" ascends to power under his watchful gaze. However, amidst the conquered lands, a solitary bastion of resistance endures - the defiant city of Valvatha. Rhylyn's gaze fixates on this last vestige of freedom, his intentions to complete the purification of Kalamore a looming inevitability. The whispers of his imminent dominion echo through the alleys, a chilling reminder to all: servitude to the Pure One is non-negotiable, resistance is futile, and dissent will be met with merciless retribution.
“You will serve the pure one and be an instrument of his will. Every knee shall bend. Resist and I’ll bend it for you.”
Rhelas - The Right Hand of the emporer
Rhylyn's deadly loyal right hand, embodies a chilling fusion of arcane elegance and spectral dread. His skeletal visage, bathed in an ethereal blaze that flickers within the hollow recesses of his eye sockets, radiates an otherworldly aura of mystique and terror. Cloaked in metallic armor that gleams with an otherworldly sheen, Rhelas stands as a surreal sentinel of the Emperor's will, his stoic demeanor akin to that of an automaton programmed for obedience. A long, white ashen cape billows behind him like a shroud of ethereal mist, contrasting sharply with the spectral fires that dance within his gaze. Each movement he makes is precise, almost robotic, exuding an air of calculated efficiency and silent menace. Despite his bone-chilling appearance, there is an undeniable air of regality and elegance that surrounds Rhelas, a stark juxtaposition to the fiery intensity that blazes within his eyes and the unsettling symphony of metal and magic that heralds his presence. As the embodier of Rhylyn's will and the harbinger of doom, Rhelas stands as a singular figure of dread and power in the Emperor's inner circle, a formidable force to be reckoned with amidst the shadows that loom over Kalamore.
“Only scorched earth will do.”
The pUrified - Converted By Fire
The Purified, twisted abominations sculpted by the tyrannical hand of Emperor Rhylyn, are horrific embodiments of his ruthless crusade to extinguish all defiance and dissent within the realm of Kalamore. Once defiant rebels or noble-hearted souls who dared resist the Emperor's iron will, the Purified are wretched husks of their former selves, their bodies contorted, their minds shattered, and their souls enslaved to the dark will of the "Pure One." Upon conversion, the once-resilient spirit of each individual is cruelly torn asunder, replaced by a malevolent servitude that drives them to hunt down the unconverted with relentless fervor. Transforming into grotesque amalgamations of flesh and shadow, the Purified stand as harbingers of terror, their visages a haunting fusion of monstrous shapes, twisted limbs, and soulless eyes that glow with an eerie malevolence. As pawns in Rhylyn's grand design, these monstrous creatures prowl the land, spreading fear and chaos wherever they tread, their existence a grim reminder of the price of defiance and the dread fate that awaits all who dare to challenge the Emperor's absolute authority.
