Wilrich I

Wilrich I (3E139-3E180) of House Herra was the sixth Emperor of the Sunset Empire. When he ascended to the throne, he was determined to restore the power of the monarchy over the Grand Council, and was aided by his twin sister Areva. The Councillors were bullied and threatened into submitted to Wilrich's rule, and the councilors who opposed him with infamously killed when a hurricane hit the city they were secretly meeting in. Since the majority of these were southerners, there was much outrage in Mourningvale and the Southern Lands. The southerners rallied around House Undermoor of Mourningvale. The Undermoor's slandered Wilrich's name, claiming the reason he had no children and barely interacted with his Queen was because he was having a secret relationship with Areva. Wilrich ordered the arrest of the Undermoors, but soon after this order, the Emperor was assassinated. With no trueborn children, only two bastards, the throne passed to Areva.
