Isaaheb

The first Synoppeian Emperor. Issaheb had been an obscure High Elf noble at the time of The Ruination but Polzuss of Synoppeia determined that he was the closest relation to the last Empress, Zariel to be both alive and living in Synoppeia. Polzuss, having stoked up local opposition to the new Church of the Holy Celestial Pantheon, then raised up Isaaheb as Emperor in Synoppeia.
It did not take long for the Church to make it clear that it would not accept Isaaheb as Emperor. With support from Polzuss and other important citizens, Isaaheb proclaimed the Synoppeian Empire as an independent state.
