The Rising Sun

"Morden var Mêldetsauryen bent the rules in his desire. That's why every child alive today knows his name, even a millennium after his death."

-Gregory Harriston to Yen Melcroe

***Morden Asserotheus var Mêldetsauryen I***, known to history as ***Morden the Great***, was the first Grand Emperor and the founding father of The Dol Davlorian Empire. He was born a Saurtheanur elven prince, eight years before the War of the Elves to King Asseroth var Mêldetsauryen IV of Mêldetsaurnòr. He was born as the third son of **Asseroth IV**, but after the elven war and the deaths of his elder brothers and father, he acended the throne of the island kingdom of Mèldetsaurnòr. **Morden** conquered the realms on the continent of Estroth out of a pure desire for revenge and to see glory restored to his people. **Morden** used the power of his almighty dragons to burn the towns, fortresses, cities and armies of the Danthaeryon`s to the ground. And through the Saurthanurean prophecy of **The Avenger**. A champion to break the wheel of things, destroy their enemies, and install the **Saurtheanur** elves in absolute power. He culminated the cult following his elven division, the Saurtheanur. And in 9 PWE, ***Morden the Great*** unified and established an empire that would stand strong for two thousand years in the face of war and rebellion.

**Morden** wielded dominion over dragons, elves, humans, dwarves, and Trosdorrians. His mastery over both dragons and humans stemmed from **Fereseid**, an ability to infiltrate and manipulate minds, an gift encoded in his birth through the strategic blending of potent elven bloodlines by the **Voltòr Order** to create a Saurthanurean champion. Although Fereseid proved perilous to control, Morden, through persistent effort over time, achieved mastery.

With this formidable power of both dragons and magic, he orchestrated the downfall of the Danthaeryon elves, led by High King Elarius I, paving the way for the ascent of the **grand Saurthanurean empire.** But outside of the newly conquerd Estroth, realms would not fall as easily as predicted.

## Appearance and Character

Morden was tall even for an elf, broad-shouldered, powerful, and intimidating, with obsidian black eyes and long, and flowing ashen hair. Under his 316 years of undisputed rule, he donned a white robe with black and silver trimming of the finest silks and cloths of the world. nd the resemblance of his rule would be a crown of Atlôrien Silver, incrested with gemstones and beautiful carvings of dragons and stars in the top of the arches.
