History of Serath Prime

Rulers

Each ruler has left a distinct mark on Serath Prime.
The cityscape reflects the diverse influences of rulers from different worlds, creating a unique architectural blend that can't be found anywhere else in the auroraverse.
For example, the towers of neon and steel are a legacy of a Zandora champion, while the great steam-powered factories echo the influence of a Xenobia victor.
Cultural norms and traditions have also been shaped by these champions. Certain festivals or public events might be remnants of the victor's home culture, adopted by the people of Serath Prime and interwoven into their own customs.

Balgor, the first king

Balgor was a great warrior from Tehiri, famed for his exceptional strength and strategic mind.
He was known for uniting various tribes of Tehiri under a common banner and leading them to victory in numerous intertribal conflicts.
A natural leader, Balgor was respected and admired for his charisma, fairness, and dedication to his people.

Balgor's rule was marked by the establishment of a fair legal system and strong civic institutions in Serath Prime.
He sought to bring order to the chaos he encountered upon his ascension and ensure that every citizen had equal rights and protections under the law.
His reign also saw advancements in education and infrastructure, laying the foundation for Serath Prime's future prosperity.
Balgor's influence is still felt in the city's efficient governance and dedication to justice and equality.

Elara, the priestess

After Balgor, the throne passed to Elara, a priestess from Theros.
Under her rule, Serath Prime became a spiritual center, with numerous temples and holy sites dedicated to various deities.

Korth, the artisan

Following Elara, the champion Korth, a dwarven artisan from Xenobia, ascended to the throne.
His reign saw the city becoming a bastion of artistry and craftsmanship, with grand edifices and intricate sculptures dotting the landscape.

Orlin, the scholar

Next was Orlin, a scholar from Tehiri, who brought a love of knowledge and learning to Serath Prime.
He established the grand library, housing texts from countless worlds and promoting education among the populace.

Gavril, the warrior

The ruler following Orlin was Gavril, a seasoned warrior from Zandora.
Gavril bolstered Serath Prime's defenses and instituted a rigorous training program for the city guard, making the city a formidable stronghold.

Illiana, the mage

The former ruler of Serath Prime is Illiana, a mage of extraordinary power from the plane of Zandora.
Illiana is known for her wisdom and has brought about a renaissance in magical research and technology during her reign, transforming Serath Prime into a hub of arcane innovation.

Illiana is a Vedalken Artificer. In the society of Zandora, where magic is viewed with suspicion and fear, Illiana managed to find a unique path.
She combined her innate magical abilities with her deep understanding of machinery and technology, becoming an Artificer of extraordinary skill.
Instead of casting spells, she channeled her magic into her inventions, disguising it as advanced technology.

Illiana used her artificer abilities to gain respect in her society.
Her contributions to the city of Tarota's technology and infrastructure were immense, and she was able to improve the lives of her people substantially.
She demonstrated that magic, when used responsibly and intelligently, can be a force for good.

This backstory greatly affects her rule in Serath Prime.
Illiana leads with a focus on innovation and progress, often implementing new technologies to improve city life.

She also maintains a degree of skepticism towards uncontrolled use of magic, insisting on strict regulation and control.
She has introduced various checks and balances in the magical practices within Serath Prime to avoid any disaster like the one that befell Zandora.
These measures, while sometimes controversial, are a testament to her dedication to preventing the misuse of magic and to protect her subjects.

Hugo Baylock, Current King Of Serath Prime

The current ruler of Serath Prime is Hugo Baylock, a former businessman and CEO of the flux flagon. Wielding extraordinary power from the plane of Zandora.
Hugo is known for their technological impeccability who was able to expand on the existing infrastructure of Serath prime while making it more accessible for the masses. Serath Prime has scaled back in the extremes of technology yes, but has raised the floor across the board significantly.


Hugo Baylock is rarely seen in public besides his monthly speeches spewing propaganda to the masses about Serath Prime & all of it's inventions. For the most part, the King of Serath prime is a fair guy but for as smart as he is, can often come off as somewhat foolish.

Istaran, The Defender of Serath Prime

Istaran is no king, but is the Powerful guardian of Serath Prime for Hugo Baylock. He and his elite guard of the Legio Astra are the main patrolling force of Serath Prime. The Legio Astra however, is the elite force above the common rabble of Guards for Serath. They are fierce, they are brutal when needed, but they are overall an effective and enforcing group of individuals.

Istaran is known to be from a long line of former Istaran. It's rumored among conspirators that Istaran and portions of his bloodline once competed in Serath Prime. But no one has been able to confirm the allegations or not. Also if they could, they'd be too terrified to announce them publicly.
