Aldrakar Renodin
Aldrakar of the House Renodin was already active in Lurian society before his election, having already held the position of High Judge of Luria. Prior to his ascension he had married the Margravine of Giask, Lucini Talratheon and upon her death, he took up rulership of Luria's most prominent city. Even then the young Lord was renowned for his wisdom, kindness and his benevolence; all the characteristics of an excellent Emperor.
The Golden Palace & The King of Rangers
Aldrakar's first reign is considered to be something of a golden age for Luria, and in the case of Giask's famed Golden Palace this took on a very literal meaning. To say Luria Nova was wealthy would be an understatement, the coffers were overflowing with gold, silver and treasure mortal men could only dream of. And the Emperor had the lion's share of it. The Golden Palace of Giask was made opulant, extravagant, and lavish beyond all reasonable measure. From its mighty walls great tapestry's were hung, scenes of Luria greatness weaved in golden thread, while pillars and columns were crafted from pure white marble and trimmed with silver. Even the Emperor's throne was a masterpiece of gold and ivory, adorned with gleaming gems and precious stones. Such was the wealth and power of Luria's Emperor.
However, it may surprise you dear reader that when a Lurian thinks the name Aldrakar Renodin they rarely think of his hoard of dragon-like wealth, or even the Golden Palace. Rather Emperor Aldrakar is better known as a wise lawgiver, and centralised Lurian authority bringing peace and order to the realm, ending the period of treacherous and backstabbing Kings. For his noble actions in both word and deed, Aldrakar enjoyed a state of great reverence among Luria, and it is said that when he spoke all would hush and listen, and his words would be taken as absolute truth for the Emperor never spoke lies.
This could be seen in the way he handled the issues of common adventurers in Luria Nova. Prior to his reign commoners had enjoyed little freedom, their lives were entirely in the hands on their Lords and Ladies. This resonated particular with adventurers: common men and women who dedicated themselves to ridding the territories of mankind from monsters and the Undead. Lords would pray on these brave folk, seizing their hard won wealth and imprisoning them without charge. Emperor Aldrakar sought to change this and established a guild known as The Royal Rangers, the purpose of the Rangers was twofold: to centralise adventures thereby giving them a means of support and communication, and to protect from them greedy Lords. Any man or woman working under the Royal Rangers is protected by the guild, and cannot be arrested without good reason. For his chivalrous actions Aldrakar earned the moniker King of Rangers, a title which nobody before or since has earned. Today the Rangers are spread across Dwilight, and under operate under the same pretences and rules that Aldrakar set out.
