For services unto the loyal citizens of this glorious land, our Mighty [Emperor](../heroes-of-rathe/emperor-about.md), the Dracai of Aesir, bestows upon you this relic of war. May you display it boldly as a symbol of your continued devotion to the royal bloodline of [Volcor](../world-of-rathe/volcor/volcor.md).

This delicate headdress was captured by our courageous Dracai during a disquieting incident at our Western border. The tiara's exact history died to our manic incoherence. Those Dracai who survived the encounter were much traumatized by the ordeal. It has taken some of them years to recover their fortitude. In light of their trials, and in the name of the empire, the Amethyst Tiara is a reminder to us all that the loyal road can be arduous, yet all the more rewarding for it.

Upon the Imperial Throne of [Volcor](../world-of-rathe/volcor/volcor.md) sits the greatest wizard that this volatile land has ever seen. Cities burn at his command. The earth trembles at the might of his armies. He is the man who united a nation once divided and embattled. He is the man who reforged the empire in the furnaces of war. His draconic will scorched the corruption and dissent from the hearts and minds of his people. He is the blood of the dragon in its purest incarnation. Even the most powerful Dracai bow their heads to his will, their own flames but candles to his raging inferno.

And little do they know, that in the smoldering heart of Mount Volcor, the Emperor discovered a secret. A truth buried beneath the trappings and triumphant tales of a venerable dynasty. As is his sovereign right, his divine duty, the Emperor has kept the secret. He has strived to understand it, to tether it to the grand purposes of sovereignty. Over the years, he has drawn from its great strength. But in doing so, he has sunk ever deeper into its embrace.

Now the Emperor has witnessed the rifts that are forming in his once glorious realm. He has felt the wounds that gape and bleed in the flesh of his kingdom. There are those who dare to question him, Dracai and Volcai alike. Those who raise arms against crown and country. Those who would dismember and destroy all he has built.

The first man he killed was a young soldier, one of many guarding a caravan laden with silk bound for the Royal Court of Ashvahan. To the raid leader, Eun, he proved himself to be the fastest and fiercest ninja on the field of battle. And once the silk was sold to the Merchants of the Red Deserts, that single raid saved Fai's village from starvation.

Descended from nobility, Kano was born with the power of the dragon's fire within his veins, able to shape the flames from the instant he drew his first breath. A cunning trickster yet undeniably gifted with a connection to aether, he is both admired and scorned by the other Lord Wizards of the Court.

As a member of the royal court, Kano must inevitably take on his duty, and accept his place amongst the Dracai. But Kano, he'd rather focus on exploring age-old tomes in the deepest recess of the libraries, or hidden within ancient catacombs, for spells and tricks to control and amplify his flame.
