Personality.

Aellios, at a glance, exudes a dignified pride inherent to his exalted station, revelling in the empire he has singularly wrought.
To him, the realm stands as a testament to the indomitable will coursing through his veins to not only survive but also thrive.. He stands as the very paragon of reliability, a pillar upon which subjects, allies, and advisors alike may depend in times of dire need. This steadfastness, in turn, garners him immense respect and unwavering loyalty from those fortunate enough to serve under him.
Unfettered by the intricacies of courtly intrigue Aellios has mastered the ability to detach himself from emotions to allow him to make rational decisions based on logic and calculations while also enabling him to navigate complex diplomatic machinations, as he is seldom swayed by personal biases or hidden agendas. His directness and clarity in communication serve as a reminder of his astuteness, making his words carry a profound impact even without unnecessary pleasantries.
In matters of governance and leadership, Aellios adopts a solemn demeanour—a grave seriousness emanating from a profound sense of responsibility that bears down upon him. He comprehends that the fate of the empire and each life within it rests squarely upon his broad, scaled shoulders.
Aellios's unwavering commitment to the Empire's ideals manifests in his resolute nature, a resilience that is ingrained in the vision he holds for the realm. His confidence is derived from an acute understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses and is fortified by an unshakable belief in the righteousness of his chosen path. Drawing upon keen intuition, he masterfully unravels the intricacies of the empire's challenges, discerning subtle nuances and transcending mere logic and calculations. While he acknowledges the value of emotions (often actively nurturing the vulnerabilities of his imperial concubines), his decisions are predominantly anchored in cold, hard facts and strategic considerations.
Decisive by nature, Aellios has always favoured a structured and organised approach to governance, eschewing procrastination and leaving little to nothing to chance. He places high value on a well-defined plan of action, ensuring that the empire he commands moves forward with purpose and precision.
He believes that a strong leader must have a clear vision and the ability to make tough decisions, even if they are unpopular. He understands that progress requires efficiency and does not tolerate inefficiency or incompetence within his empire. His commitment to excellence drives him to constantly seek improvement and innovation, pushing his subjects to reach their full potential.

Authors Note:

Take heed, dear reader, for the tale of Aellios's rise from exile to imperial supremacy carries the weight of heretical secrecy. The closely guarded narrative of the forbidden union, which gave birth to the half-dragon race, is a matter The Emperor does not tolerate rumors about.

Background.

Defiance, Survival, and Unyielding Triumph.

In the shadows cast by timeworn adjudicators, I found myself plummeting into the fathomless depths, a forsaken exile in the abyssal belly beneath the Tideless Expanse, where the gods themselves hid their most perverse secrets.
There, amidst the echoes of primordial whispers, I became a pariah—my scales reflecting the broken wings of both defiance and forbidden desire.
I was trialled by the whims of out-of-touch arbiters, I stood accused, not merely for my own transgressions, but as a living emblem of rebellion against draconic law. The crime was forbidden passion, a sin etched in the annals of the gods, and the sentence was exile — a plunge into the abyss, accompanied by a clutch of squalling infants, blood of my blood and many more covertly condemned as if they were my own to cleanse my /great/ people of their sin.
Yet, as I descended into the chasmic darkness, I felt not the weight of condemnation but the fiery embers of rebellion kindling within. The adjudicators, cloaked in their ivory towers, sought a scapegoat to absolve the multitude of their clandestine transgressions. I, Aellios, became that scapegoat — a living testament to the consequences of forbidden unions that echoed through the ages.
In the abyss, where shadows danced like ethereal phantoms, survival became my anthem. The forsaken brood i nurtured became my legacy. As I navigated the treacherous currents of the abyss, I embraced the realization that I was not merely a victim of exile but a god rising from the primordial ash — a sovereign in the making.

As I wield my brushes in this foreign court in the hopes of relaying our time within The Impossible City capturing the essence of power and enigma, I find myself before His Imperial Majesty with both awe and trepidation... Seated upon the throne, the regal silhouette of the Aurum Conquerer truly commands attention.. He is not just a ruler but a force of nature, and his presence will leave an indelible mark on the canvas of the underworld.

"To consort with giants is to spit upon the legacy of our kind. Aellios, banished to the abyss, serves as a dire warning to those who would defy draconic law."

— Silver Dragon Adjudicator.

"Without the guidence and protection of Emperor Aellios our people would not have survived infancy! he is our Father, our Leader and our God. "

— Half Dragon Priestess

"My lord has lived a hundred life times, and though his counternence might seem cold, I find solace in his strength and grace. "

— Imperial Concubine Melpomea

His true form

T hough no longer able to transform between shapes, Aellios' once great form was that of an Aurum dragon. It is whispered among the coury that his massive scales glistened like molten gold and he was more blindingly radiant as the Phyraxgian sun itself. This rumour has a grain of truth to it, for in the age before his exile Aellios was a resplendent creation of Aushurie, and her most prized attendant, rivalling her own son Charnel, The Hollow King. .
