Emperor Hancali

BORN 173 4A in Omini, Valatia - Hancali quickly became an adept student of magic. He was a fervent believer in Palairism, the state religion. Hancali mastered magic much quicker than other believers and students of Palair; combined with his military experience against the wilders in the mountains, he was proving to be an excellent emperor when the previous emperor, Emperor Silminar, would die. Ascending to the throne in 211 4A,  He brought prosperity to the empire and great power to the Palairic Temple. He ruled for twenty-three years before The Shattering in 234 4A, where Hancali lost control of his magic abilities and destroyed part of the Royal Palace, killing himself and many other government officials in a rage. Emperor Hancali, master of magic and Head of Palair, succumbed to the darkness and insanity of high level magic and thus kicked off several years of confusion and bloodshed. The Palairic Temple was accused of serving evil and was quickly overthrown, replaced with the Luonnic Church, a religion focused on the natural and human world, viewing magic as a great evil and temptation.
