Vyceric

(a.k.a. The Visionary / The Emperor of Sands)

Few names managed to stir passionate debates as much as The Emperor of Sands in our land.
But he wasn't an emperor you say. Technically, you are right. But as his influence was known in all our country and beyond, some gave him that name by extension. Kind of a way to say he ruled the land by his actions.
Some towns and cities straight up bans any of his inventions and the fact to even tell his name. Some even did the extra step to burn the readings he left in some cities out of disgust.
What happened with the pillars, nobody really knows, however. And some even dare to say he would never do this, and was a noble soul. But this was another time.
Why do I feel comfortable saying all this? Well, my ancestor was his closest friend. But i only told you since you paid generously.

Failures & Embarrassments

Being afraid to give too much liberty to his lifesparked constructs, he implemented a lingering effect on them giving him instant control when he needed be. However, at his death, it triggered a massive overload which made the construct go awry and uncontrollable.

Vyceric was amongst the richest man of the land, and rivaled even governors and rulers. He made his money out of contract and always managed to leave richer everywhere he passed. A good amount of money was invested in Loth Hakan as donation in order to offer the village a more sustainable and safer environment. Vyceric was quite a philantropist.
However, a part of his legacy was seized or destroyed by authorities after his demise and allegations. Some, however, are sure he left some personnal vaults and demiplanes across the realm which was still untouched. Thankfully, his investment he made on cities were rarely lost as they were non-magical and useful for the country as a whole.
Rumors says the Army of Sunspark he helped mass produce was sealed somewhere unknown to the public in fear they would go awry like the other Sunspark Automatons. His presence is enough for neighbouring countries to think twice before invading.
