Arcus Thorne

The first born of Emperor Vallirk Thorne, Arcus was named as the third Emperor of Eskarya in 57EF.

Coronation
Following the death of Vallirk during the assault on the Tower of Varal, Arcus was crowned the following week after burial rites had been performed for his late father. As the Imperial crown was placed upon his head, a wave of destruction spread throughout the capital as tremors broke out and fissures were born into the foundations of Eskarya. Only six seconds did the earthquake last. But what followed was the pale complexion of the newly anointed Emperor, as a voice entered his mind, believed to be threatening words of warning from the powerful Drow mage. Throughout the rule of Arcus Thorne, talk of a second assault to take the Drow’s isle were never uttered.

The Great Expedition
As a man of great vision, Arcus wished to know of the lands beyond their continent, hoping that civilisation would exist outside of Elysia, knowing that the lands to the north were a barren landscape of a broken world.

Under his rule, the Empire of Eskarya would gain a foothold on the islands of Oparia, before pushing further east to find the continent of Rei’Caelora, landing on the sandy dunes of the Kingdom of Sameria. It was here that their first trade route was established in their world, as the great navigators in the employ of Arcus Thorne would return with a curved blade of immense value, crafted from Samerian Crysteel.

As an advanced and civilised nation, diplomatic relations were opened to the King of Sameria, with scholars trading places to learn more about the other’s worlds and country.
