Prince Cyrus

Prince Cyrus is the darklord and temporal ruler of Solanica. He fights a neverending (but probably futile) battle of trying to stop the Solanican people from overspending the realm into financial oblivion. At the same time, he must deal with rebels who oppose his regime for the overspending he is trying to stop. To keep his land from imploding, Prince Cyrus has had to hire masses of foreigners to serve as enforcers and servants. However, they often became as waywardly debauched as the natives are. Cyrus has even gone the route of bringing in foreign slaves to perform labor on the cheap.

Like many darklords, Prince Cyrus suffers in a hell with a sense of poetic justice. As a young boy, Cyrus watched his decadent, corrupt father become overthrown by a rebellion. Cyrus vowed to never repeat his father's mistake. He grew up gathering the fortune he would need to avenge his death and take back the realm. Eventually he sent assassins after the nobles who had supported the rebellion. Cyrus also brought in armies of swords-for-hire to launch an invasion.

Then, after the paladin who led the coup gave up leadership of the realm, Prince Cyrus poisoned the paladin and his followers under the guise of a great feast. As he rode back to his estate, the Mists swallowed him up and deposited him into a realm that is much richer but yet also much more decadent than the land he was riding back to.
