Hey guys,

Back on the writing desk, again. - Short question only, because I don't have my books here:

Do we have any specific names and dates of the Thonian Emperors, or, really, any other info than that one name, Iyx?

(And I don't even remember if that one is a name from canon, or from canon.)

Take care,

R

Hi there!

Two Emperors are mentioned in the D20 Blackmoor Sourcebook:

King Robert I (presumably later Emperor Robert I. King Robert was first mentioned in the FFC)
Iyx I (also mentioned in DA1).

DA1 Adventures in Blackmoor also gives a list of Emperors of Thonia centuries after the Classic Blackmoor Era:

1900 UC Emperor Korin II begins his reign of Thonia.
1912 UC Emperor Nial III begins his reign.
1920 UC Emperor Ruxpin I, "the Teddybear*”, begins his reign.
1923 UC Emperor Oser I begins his reign.
1946 UC Emperor Bodmin I begins his reign.
1960 UC Emperor Halkad IV begins his reign.
1970 UC Emperor Ning I begins his reign.
1986 UC Emperor Melnik III begins his reign.
1995 UC Emperor Reger I begins his reign.

The above was taken from my friend but is based on information from DA1.
* "The Teddybear" monicker for Emperor Ruxpin is Cthulhudrew's addition. :)

Now, depending on your purposes, these Emperors may be of little interest to you. However, since there was an Emperor Halkad IV, I assume there would have been three Emperors with a similar name earlier in Thonia's history etc. This could give you an idea of names of previous Emperors.

Ah, thanks, man! That's exactly what I was looking for!

IMC, I have the names of the emperors as their last names only, though, which makes it easier to go my own route. (As in, what I did with Sumerset.)

So, it would really be the noble houses Korin, Nial, Halkad, and Melnik. Who knows, even if the names - implying sort of a millenial tradition - were not yet around during Uther's time, maybe the noble houses were already? :)

Thanks, man. Little secret, it's for a certain piece concerning your Vales campaign. :wink:

I am mostly interested in what we know about FFC-era emperors, consequently, but I am equally prone to making stuff up... :)

Yeah, what Havard said. That DA1 list is intriguing in that if it was in Daves' original material, before the whole time travel angle was created by TSR, then those emporers would all be from before Uthers time.

IMC. set in 867, I have the emporer as Halkad II, in his 6th year.

You could go with a play on Arnesons name. (like Nosenrald). <shrug>
