The Red Emperor

The first recorded texts of the Southern Empire tells of a man who climbed the Red Spires and came face to face with the Bringer of the Sun. The man would slay the God and begin to cut open its chest to reach its heart. When he pulled its heart from its chest he began to devour it as the sun was pulled from the sky. For 7 days the sun would turn all below it red. On the 8th day, the man finished the heart and proclaimed himself the God of the Red Spires and ascend as the Red Emperor. His children would go on to establish the Samru Empire and rule over the region for over a thousand years.
