4 Kings

Summary

Following the Titanic Clash and the formation of the world, four men ruled in succession. This created the Antillean Empire and led to the period of time known as the Age of Kings. Notable effects from this period include a transition from chaotic barbarism to civilized society, and things like the four month calendar still being used in the modern day. With varying levels of peace and strife, this age lasted for several hundred years until the Age of the Old Gods.

King Baschine

The first king to rule was King Baschine, also known as the Efflorescence. He brought humanity out of its dark period and established law and order. The longest reigning of the four kings, he lived for almost two hundred years before ultimately falling ill and likely succumbing due to his age.

King Jullice

Following King Baschine's death, his son Areonomous claimed the throne and donned the name King Jullice. With a temper that was only matched by his impatience, King Jullice was infamous for his endless brutality and wanton destruction of many of the stabilizing actions undertook by his father. He was killed through suspicious means while returning from a campaign to put down an uprising. His murder was never thoroughly investigated, and was believed to have been orchestrated by his guards.

King Riviank

Familial struggles resulted in a short period without a king, and the world began to deteriorate into chaos. A soldier named Claudio decided to seize the throne before the world fell any further, and the people supported his rule rather than live in chaos. He chose the name King Riviank, and he employed many actions that reversed the damage caused by King Jullice. He ruled almost as long as King Baschine before he succumbed to old age. His last request being that the next ruler should come from the people, rather than an heir of his or King Bachine's.

King Janus

The people adhered to King Riviank's request, and chose a Toonsy, one of the law writers who created the rules that the world lived by. He chose the name King Janus, and his lack of respect for life led to a body count even higher than King Jullice. Despite the actions King Riviank undertook to stabilize the realm, King Janus swept them away in favor of tyranny. As more and more people lost faith of living under kingly rule, a new power emerged. A group of powerful beings the people called Gods. They swept away King Janus as if he was a mere commoner, and the people once again found peace as they lived under the grace of their respective God.
