Ionas De Ro while not upon his death bed nor ill had come to accept that he was no longer the leader that Rakai needed. He sought a successor as he traveled the land speaking with various leaders in their respective communities. During his travel he encountered a man of no nation or tribe. A single individual upon the road. The traveler joined his company and they discussed at length as they traveled the old road to Jumana. When they arrived Ionas De Ro was convinced he had found the person to replace him.


Mystaan the Gold Dragon accepted the terms that De Ro had put forth.

  • Allow the existing social system to continue to grow
  • Grow trade and expand the empire's reach
  • Protect the Empire from those that would seek to destroy it, both enemies internal and external
  • Pass the power to the next when the time came to move on.
