Imperatus the Everburning is the current Lord of Fire and the Guardian of Justice amongst the Gods. Living in his Flaming Palace within the city of Emberfire, Imperatus watches over all mortals through his flames. Before the First Demon War, Imperatus had a great appreciation for Angmar and he often sought the approval from the first Lord of Fire. When Enely came to warn about Angmar's children and what would be in store for the Realm of Mortals if the Gods gave him free rein, Imperatus didn't hesitate to stand in the way of his former teacher and succeeded the position of Angmar after the war was won.

## Relations

Known as a great warrior of justice, honor and order, Imperatus is held in high regard within the Empire of El Sherdan. He holds close ties with his sister Calina, even if they often have different views on how to bring good to the world. Much like Torim has replaced Enely for the dwarves of Vonrim, the same has happened with Imperatus and the Sherdanians. The paladins of the Radiant Sun are the proudest order of the human empire and abide by Imperatus and his law of judgment. The greatest of them all, Firentinus Flamebringer, wielded the fiery power of Imperatus with pride in the Second Demon War and defeated the demon lord Malzarak, much like Imperatus himself did against Angmar. Imperatus tries to keep decent relations with all other Gods, but ones born of chaos get no love from him. Especially Arisu and Hornafel are ones he wishes to bring to justice and end their madness forever.

## Prayer

*I shall carry thy light into darkness,*
