[quote name="Jedoi" date="2018-03-15 07:35:32" ] Okay what is an emperor? I thought it was just another name for imperial? Can someone explain this to me? [/quote] @Jedoi When Imperials die they can become a multi-headed monster known as an Emperor. It's basically a really powerful killing machine, and the deities directly had to become involved to help out with the last Emperor.

I just realized:

Quote:

Prey flushed to the sky when they saw their doom. I shook my wings, torn and twisted; I couldn’t pursue. No matter. There was still plenty of prey frozen in place, too afraid to even move. My sister’s low hung head snapped up a meal, greedily swallowing the morsel before rooting for more. Small forms fled into unimpressive structures built for their diminutive size. I easily knocked over the flimsy architecture, and sifted through the rubble with my snout until I found my quarry, warmth filling my mouth as I bit down with a sigh.

I'm gonna cry now

[quote name="absolmon" date="2018-03-15 07:24:19" ] Holy Shadowbinder! This was such a cool look into an emperors thought process. I thought they were mindless, but it seems they’re each conscious in some form. It was also great to see Gleam and Umbrann again. [/quote] [center][color=purple][u]THIS.[/u] It means my own Emperor lore isn't too far off from canon, except mine share their conscious in each form. This makes me so happy. [i]They're not mindless.[/i] At least this one isn't!

You should go back and read the Imperial encyclopedia entry, but i’ll Give you s brief summery:
An emperor is an undead, multi headed monster that results from multipal Imperials perishing together.

Read the last section on the Imperial's encyclopedia entry

@AstralKepeire

While reading the first bit I was so disappointed, but man I had no idea what lay ahead. I love the idea of the Imperials not knowing they're an Emperor, like oh my god it's so great and angsty and tragic and just yes. all of my yes.

After a quick look at this thread I had to go back for a second read through to fully get it. Omg though, that was chilling.
It's interesting to see that Emperor's aren't mindless.
