Emperor Donovan the Mad

Donovan Prismodian (a.k.a. Donovan the Mad)

Emperor Donovan was emperor for a 50-year span now referred to as the Reign of Terror.  

Personality

  Donovan was impatient and paranoid.   Donovan was magically gifted in all three disciplines known to the imperial bloodline. He could manipulate the element of fire well enough to create constructions from them and could heal himself. Worst of all, he was strongly telepathic, a fact that both made him incredibly difficult to plot against and also probably strongly contributed to his mental deterioration.  

Personal History

 

The Reign of Terror: 255-298 EC

  Donovan's were consistently short-sighted and often completely incomprehensible. Some things that happened in the Reign of Terror:  
  • Dissolution of the The Triamic Council
  • Frequent assassination of any political rivals or "conspirators" (read: anyone he doesn't like)
  • Imprisonment and execution of the multiple Holy Elders (usually an untouchable class of priests)
  • Death of empress and second son by Donovan's own hand in a fit of hysteria (his other son later disappears and his daughter commits suicide)
  • Two simultaneous wars when Donovan suspects the two nearest allies on opposite sides of the empire of conspiring against him.
  • Subsequent slaughter Et'ens and Wights blood for being "of the enemy."
  It got so bad that, at one point, Donovan's own mother led a coup against him. She was caught and brutally made an example of.   The greatest hero in history, Bruce the Bold, was the hero who finally killed the Mad Emperor. After that, the entire monarchy was dissolved to make way for a Republic... until Silven took advantage of the economic and military ruin that Donovan had left and started invading.
