Amalio Aumat

King Amalio Aumat III was the king of the Aumateran Empire from 281 AU to 298 AU, and a bearer of the blue Lifelight Seal.

“Amalio the Third, the Blue Dove of Aumatera. Naturally, he resides in the royal palace, in the capital city of Aum. Despite his ancestors’ gift for violence, he’s the first decent king the empire’s had in a long time. He may hear your request. Amalio only wants to keep his kingdom and his people safe, so if you can help him in that goal, he may grant you what you seek.”

## Description

### Appearance

Amalio had the common purple skin of humans in Vitocria, and the white hair of those with noble blood. His blue eyes showed his Aumat heritage. His hair was of medium length, and was always worn down, and he had a tidy white beard. When making public appearances, he would wear a silver crown, and wore blue to represent the colours of his house. During official business, he wielded the lordsteel sword, Talon, but his physicality showed he was not a fighter. Amalio often looked sombre, due to the passing of his wife Saleria Aumat in 290 AU.

### Personality

Amalio was most often sad and quiet during his rare appearances. During meetings of the Royal Council, he allowed the other members to lead the discussion, rarely offering his own input. Despite being generally regarded as a good king, it is clear that Amalio had little influence over the governing of Aumatera. Despite his preference to allow others to rule, when he did engage in politics, he was clear and motivated. He personally gave The Revenants their missions, and received Karutaar politely when she wished to speak with him. When he did engage in meetings of the council, he often tried to steer the subject away from matters of war, much to Amos' disapproval.

It is clear that Amalio valued his family over all else. His grief over his wife was the cause of his absence from governing, but this did not stop him from spending time with his children, as Karutaar saw his daughter Amalis playing in his chambers.

Despite the Empire's opinion of Xhebaris, Amalio did not appear to be completely prejudiced against them. He received The Revenants respectfully, who have two members from Xhebaris, and entrusted them with missions that aided the Empire. As well as this, he treated Zeviro with respect, despite tielfings being shunned within the Empire.

## Biography

### Background

Amalio was the eldest of three siblings, his younger brothers being Amos and Azaros. As the eldest, he was the heir to the throne from the moment he was born, and eventually became king at nineteen years old in 281 AU. Shortly after, he was married to his childhood friend Saleria Mauro. Together, they had three children, Amaros, Azuris, and Amalis. However, Saleria died in childbirth with their last child in 290 AU, leaving Amalio to parent and rule alone.

### Lifelight Campaign Arc 1: A Dove of Blue

* The Lifelight Coup (1x09)

In the throne room, Amalio greeted Lord Orowynn Lunor and his party, taking no particular notice of the sell-swords that joined him.

* Parties and Pranksters (1x11)

Amalio showed up to Athil Esalor's party as the feast began, and watched the festivities from the high table.

* Friendly Fire (1x12)

Continuing his time at Athil's party, Amalio sat at the high table as Karutaar passed by him and called him 'cool,' and said he has a 'sick necklace,' to which he smiled politely. At the end of the party, Athil spoke briefly to him, before bringing him over to formally meet Karutaar. They briefly discussed Ace's parents, and he let Karutaar know they were headed to Glintwood. He forgave her as she apologised for forcing Amos to make a toast, and then excused himself and left.

* The Royal Council (1x15)

Sat on his throne, Amalio whispered to Raen Mauro, and gave The Revenants four jobs at Athil's recommendation when they presented themselves to the Royal Council. He promised to provide them with anything they needed for the work. When Karutaar asked for a pass through The Shield, as she wanted to go home to Xhebaris, Amalio asked Omor Belos whether he thought it was a good idea, to which he said it would be fine. He told Amos to write it up, but that it would only be valid whilst they were working for him.

* A Cat May Look at a King (1x20)

In the throne room, Amalio hears out The Revenants as they ask for a writ from him, allowing them access to where they need to go. He agrees to think on it, and a few days later he meets with The Revenants to give them the writ.

* The War Council (1x35)

Amalio gathered all the major Lords, and the council, for a meeting of war. He listened to each of their points in turn, and then declared that he would think on it, and deliver a decision by the next day.

* A Dove of Blue (1x36)

Before Amalio could deliver his decision on the war, Athil informed him that The Revenants had an issue to present to the council. He allowed Karutaar, Chrysanthemum, and Zeviro to present their case, where Karutaar explained the history of the Lifelight Lords, and told him that they wanted his blue Lifelight Seal. After a breakout of whispered discusion, Amalio gave his consent for Salaros Mauro to declare it treason. Amalio watched the ensuing trial from his throne, and when Karutaar won, his brothers began to beg him not to give up the seal. He hushed everyone in the chamber, and asked if Lakiir intended to supplant him. Karutaar told him no, that he wished for Amalio to rule in his stead. Without a word, he took of the necklace and held it up, and dropped it when Karutaar had it in her grasp. He left the room without a sound, as other council members followed him out.

Later on, Athil informed The Revenants that Amalio had died in his sleep, and later confessed that he had killed him with poison.

## Relationships

### Saleria Aumat

Saleria was Amalio's wife and queen before she died in childbirth in 290 AU.

The pair married shortly after Amalio became king at ages twenty and nineteen. The two of them had been childhood friends, and so the marriage was more than just a political alliance. After her death, Amalio became consumed by grief, and was never the same. They had three children left behind after her death.

### Amos Aumat

Amos was one of Amalio's younger brothers, and one of his most loyal protectors.

Whilst Amalio was king, Amos served as his Warmaster on the Royal Council. He offered his advice in most matters, and often personally ensured that there were no threats to Amalio. In turn, Amalio often relied on him to help govern the Empire, as his grief did not allow him to do it alone.

The two brothers had wildly different personalities, as Amalio was peaceful, and rarely resorted to violence, whereas Amos rarely decided to talk things out. Despite this, the two worked well together, and did not allow their ideals to drive them apart.

### Azaros Aumat

Azaros was Amalio's youngest brother.

The pair were not often seen together, but it is clear that they had a less professional relationship than that of Amalio and Amos. Azaros most always referred to Amalio as 'Leo', and never treated him as if he were above him. In turn, Amalio did not appear to resent Azaros for his informality, and he never gave Azaros an official role, instead allowing him to roam as he saw fit.

### Amalio's Children

Amalio was not often seen interacting with his three children, other than having Amalis play in his chambers, but it is clear that he loved them deeply, especially after the death of their mother, Saleria Aumat.
