Emperor Menele
Emperor Menele IV of Ni'rral
Emperor Menele IV is a dignified yet stubborn ruler who sees himself as the living embodiment of the Empire's enduring legacy. His silver-streaked fur and deeply lined face reflect decades of leadership, while his sharp eyes still hold the idealism of his youth. A staunch traditionalist, Menele rules by upholding the power of the nobility and resisting change, believing the empire’s decline is merely a cyclical phase before its resurgence.
Personality
Menele is contemplative and unyielding, guided by the conviction that Ni'rral’s struggles are a test of its fortitude rather than a call for reform. While increasingly reliant on his advisors, his stubbornness shapes every decision, ensuring his rule remains firmly rooted in the past. He likewise views change as a threat, trusting in the empire's traditions and the natural cycle of history to restore its former glory. For these reasons, he also dismisses alliances with other nations as unnecessary, as he believes the empire's strength lies in its self-sufficiency.Leadership & Family
Menele maintains a court with a focus on the old traditions, believing them to be the way forward. Though he is respected for his faith in the empire's greatness, his resistance towards change has also alienated those who sees the empire's decline for what it is. Among these are his son, Crown Prince Alethor. While their relationship is respectful, it is also strained by their differences, as the prince's progressive ideas often clash with Menele's traditionalist values
