☀️ Arselia and Akonia

On a free day, Garret indulges in another reading session and reads the following volumes from the series of imperial chronicles.

VII - Saikam es Diesra Arual
-1 OD, -4 hours.
+10% to health or +5 to luck.

A reclusive monarch, a learned man, to whom governing the state was probably a burden, since his interests were not very related to state affairs. And yet, he coped with his duties with honor during wartime, which means he did not wear the royal crown in vain.

VIII - Sillion es Diesra Arual
-1 OD, -4 hours.
+100 to SM or +5 HP.

A king-mage? After finishing the book about Sillion, the protagonist pondered how magic works in this world. Strangely enough, at different times he could, in a sense, consider himself to belong to both of the mentioned categories of mages. Thus, the Vistrian Garret possessed the potential to raise the dead, being a follower of the nameless deity, and the Anuzish, for a very short time, possessed a mysterious artifact-cube that allowed him to perform spells, bypassing the loss of abilities during cosmic conversion. Although he was not particularly interested in standard magical fields, fate, apparently, put everything in its place for the warrior-crossbowman.
There were not many thoughts about Sillion himself, but they were very positive. In other hands, his power would probably have led to catastrophes, but to his credit, he was convinced of using his extraordinary abilities for peaceful purposes, which ensured his subjects a long period of calm and prosperity.

IX - Flanaravi es Diesra Arual
-1 OD, -4 hours.
50 experience points each day (static)

And here is the one who would hardly stop before using magical forces on a large-scale aggressive plan. However, apparently, the power of the king-mage was not passed on to his successor. Flanaravi is somewhat reminiscent of Delsahid in his inclination towards military affairs, and even their fate is similar. It is also noteworthy that both militarists did not rule even a quarter of the life of the peaceful Sillion.

X - Welfern es Diesra Arual
-1 OD, -4 hours.
+25% to the total reward for completed quests.

A very bright and multifaceted personality, the first Margelian emperor. Combining harsh repressions with freedom of activity, he effectively changed the structure of the country in his own way, and even did not hesitate to name the newly formed empire after himself. And against the background of his biography, it becomes clear what inspires the guild philosophers when choosing topics for discussion; one can say that they thus pay tribute to their founder.
