![[SunKingPic.png]] # The Sun King _Eladrin Wizard and Leader | [[Righteous Order of the White Flame]] | Deceased_ ## Summary Powerful wizard from [[Senaliesse]] who founded the [[Righteous Order of the White Flame]] and led a crusade against the Elder Elemental Eye. His tragic romance with the [[Dusk Queen]] ended when he was forced to imprison her to stop her corruption. Ultimately destroyed during a disastrous expedition to the [[Abyss]] led by [[Owynn Firesong]]. %% ## Background **The Romance:** Fell deeply in love with the [[Dusk Queen]], ruler of the [[Amberwood Forest]]. Their romance flourished until she received a magical mirror allowing her to combine her shadow essence with [[Abyss|Abyssal]] power. As her paranoia and cruelty grew—forcing Firbolg slaves to construct an inverted ziggurat while demons poured into the [[Feywild]]—he could no longer ignore her evil. **The Imprisonment:** In an act of tremendous moral courage, he magically banished her to a hidden prison while she slept, shattered her abyssal mirror, and departed her tower forever. Then rallied all the courts except the [[Shadow Court]] against the Elder Elemental Eye, driving them from the [[Feywild]] and helping end the catastrophic Time of Chaos. **The Order:** Founded the [[Righteous Order of the White Flame]], assembling exceptional individuals including [[Ren]], [[Goodberry]] (then called Oakenton), and [[Noah]]. The team became [[Ren]]'s family. **The Destruction:** When [[Owynn Firesong]] arrived claiming prophetic knowledge, the Sun King formed what seemed like a beneficial alliance. [[Owynn Firesong|Owynn]]'s claims about the Elder Elemental Eye's secret at the "Heart of the [[Abyss]]" convinced the Sun King to join an expedition using an interplanar airship. When [[Ren]] refused and confronted [[Owynn Firesong|Owynn]] about his Chaos Gem, [[Owynn Firesong|Owynn]] murdered her. The Sun King and his remaining team proceeded—only to be "utterly and permanently destroyed." Some, including [[Owynn Firesong|Owynn]], bent the knee to [[Graz'zt]]. Others like [[Noah]] and [[Goodberry]] were destroyed until [[Ren]] made a deal with [[Baba Yaga]] to restore them—at the cost of their most cherished memories. ## Quote _"Even the brightest light can be extinguished by the darkness it seeks to banish. Love made me strong enough to imprison her, but not wise enough to save myself from following her into the abyss."_ %%
