Vilo Circle

The Vilo Circle (also known as the Circle of Scions) is the de-facto governing body of the Sicigia. Comprised wholly of the Emperador's biological, Half-Elven descendants, the circle is thought of as a disc divided up into three different bands, each representing a generation of the Brilla de Ura dynasty. The first band, the one closest to the true epicenter of the circle (El Emperador himself) represents the first generation, the Six Sons of the Emperador. Their children (his grandchildren) make up the second band and the children of their children makes up the third band (his great-grandchildren). Theoretically, the disc will expand upon the arrival of El Emperador's first 2x Great-Grandson, however, that is yet to happen.

The Vilo Circle serves as the primary advisory and administrative body of Sicigia, the Union of the Daytime Moon. Its members are the aristocratic fiber out of which the bureaucratic blanket of the Union is woven. Military officers, Provincial Chiefs , and religious leaders are generally picked from members of the Vilo Circle.

### First Band

The first band of the Vilo Circles is made up entirely of all but one of the Emperador's sons. They are largely considered to be the most loyal, experienced, and dependable servants of the Union, although they occasionally butt heads with each other as they square off like Sicigian bulls for their father's affection.

They are as follows:

* **Uñio** His name is a play on the words one and Union. The idea being that his position as the first son of the Elven Emperatriz and Human Emperador represented the birth of the Union itself, as he was born only a year after. He is now 97 years old. It said that his physical age has now eclipsed his own father, and he appears like a human would at the age of 50-60. However like all\* (notice the asterisk) the Emperador’s sons, he has been given the secret to immortality. His importance in the dynasty partially roots from his closeness to his father, as well his seemingly endless supply of sons that have given the Emperador a new aristocracy to toy with (it is said he has 11 sons, eclipsing the Emperador. Uñio is the heir apparent to the throne but is also an exceedingly quiet man, avoiding public appearances. His most important role in the Union has been serving as the head of the Emperador’s herds and farming lands, as well being the head of several provinces. His long years have made him patient to a fault, and he expects to wait a thousand years before he succeeds to the throne…somehow or another.
* **Bris** The second born, (87 years of age) Bris is widely considered the most daring of his siblings. He is named for the second half of the word 'Kantebrio', his name implying that he is a ray of the sun. His personality is bright and flashy and he utilizes his father's wealth perhaps more than any of his siblings. His taste for the lavish is tempered by his extreme charisma and understanding of how not to appear spoiled. His love for exotic pets is known across the Union, and it is said that he covets Uñio's position as head of the Emperador's private herds and land. He is known for the many children he has had outside of wedlock. The spread of Brilla de Ura's genes outside of one consecrated bloodline has caused the Emperador to put a bounty on the head of all of his illegitimate children. Despite his mistakes, Bris has wiggled out of all of them, and serves as the Emperador's chief diplomat, conductor of public ceremonies, and game master. In addition, he serves as the head of several important provinces.
* **Elrón** The Emperatriz's favorite son, Elrón is named for his Elven grandfather, Elrond, a great king in his own right. Elrón is the only son to not be affiliated with the Cult of the Daytime Moon, as, privately, at his mothers own request, he was tutored only by traditional Elven monks. It is, however, unknown the extent to which he ultimately does believe in the claims of the Daytime Moon, as rejecting his father's claim to be the manifestation of the will of Kantebrio (and his mother's to be the will of Luna) would be an instant anathema to his position in the Vilo Circle. He is noted for his aptitude for all things Elven, as well as his gentry and nobility. He is often considered the most dignified son, and was, at a time, discussed as a backup heir to Uñio. (his Elveness ultimatley disqualifying him) He is known for being overly orderly and neat, taking great lengths to not cause himself any stress. He is a man who keeps all of his affairs in order, and one should be careful not to meddle with the delicate balance he maintains, lest he be sent into a rage. The third eldest, he now rapidly approaches his 70th year on this world. He has only become more keen, elegant, and orderly with age, affording him the positions the positions of Conductor de Jeprovincias (Conductor of Provincial Chiefs) and Grand Steward of the Union.
* **Agustón** Said to be the Emperador's favorite son, Agustón is the fourth born, aged 53 years. He is known for his love of the study of history, philosophy, literature, and war. He is seen as something of a philosopher and theologian, and is heavily involved in the Cult of the Daytime Moon. Often, he serves as the Union's chief propagandizer, prophesying his father's eventual victories. As a general, Agustón personally ensures that his prophesies are fulfilled, and his father has subsequently awarded him with high military positions and honors (as well as provinces). His love for knowledge is matched only by his ambition. The word in the highest echelon's of the Emperador's court is that one more major victory by Agustón will spell the end of Uñio's status as heir apparent. Seizing the opportunity, Agustón has recently prophesied of an upcoming great victory against the Bloodscale, one he hopes to serve his father on a silver platter, shaped like and by the Vilo Circle.
* ~~**Sid** The only son to not serve in the Vilo Circle, Sid was outcasted due to his obsession with the arcane. While he pondered his orb, he often neglected other duties, instead dedicating himself holy to magic. When called to the Emperador to answer for his neglect of duty, ordering him to put an end to his love for 'fairytales.' A quiet but witty man, Sid answered simply, "*The end.*" As a result, the Emperador ordered his fifth oldest son banished from his sight. Sid would barely escape the Union with his life, and it is rumored that he now lurks with a mystical coven in a tower in the lands of Dragon Breath Coast. Scouts on both sides of the war consistently grow missing when searching for his terror. Forged on anvil of hardship and rigorous study, it is said that Sid may now be one of the most powerful wizards in all of *Navio.* When such sayings and rumors reached his court, the Emperador immediately ordered that Sid's name never be spoken in his presence again.~~
* **Dracvilo** Dracvilo was named for the beginning of the Dragon Breath War, where Union Forces began their invasion of the lands of the Bloodscale. His birth was an attempt by the Emperador to subdue the identity of the Dragonborn as the sons of Dragons, by anointing a Dragonborn lineage of his own. His birth was blessed by a dragon loyal to the Union. He has become one of the chief military officers, of the war, the head slave master, and most notably the Head of all Colonies in Bloodscale land. One of the youngest sons, he is only aged 27. He is marked by his pride and decadence, dependent on slaves for many things. He is often called the Emperador’s spoiled brat. In spite of this, he is capable, and his policy of enslavement has successfully subdued the locals of the colonies.
* **Gallá** Galla is the Emperador's youngest son, having just reached the age of maturity last year (he is currently 21). As the youngest, he is the most distant from his father, something that is eternally to his dismay. He is lowest ranking of the sons and is actually sat below some of his own nephews in the chain of command. He governs no lands of his own but did manage to snag the position as head of the Union Navy. In attempt to gain his father's approval, he has become a ruthless and conniving admiral, escalating the fighting with the Bloodscales to all new levels and committing war crimes in the process. His proximity in age and position in the war in the colonies means that he knows his brother Dracvilo the best, but is privately said to despise him. In spite of his vicious loyalty, (one greater than even the infamously loyal Uñio) Galla has not been given the secret to immortality, and he has begun to recede into constant paranoia, fearing that his father secretly hates him.
