He doesn’t give them gunpowder or big machines, but he does give them some modern ideals and the means to create their own path toward technology.<\/p>\n
Plus he becomes the first Emperor of their world.<\/p>\n
It is a work-in-progress that I’ll be updating as I go along. I don’t want to spam anyone’s inbox, so I’ll do a "notify patrons" every few days, though updates will likely be more frequent than that.<\/p>\n
\nHe became the first Roland. The first Emperor of the World.<\/p>\n
And his name–Desmond–was split into two new Royal Lines, and 14 Royal Houses rose to power with his wedding to his Fourteen Brides. And from one of those Lines would the next Roland be chosen.<\/p>\n
DesSola ("dess-sol-ah") – e’Sola<\/p>\n
DesKarta ("dess-car-tah") – eKarta<\/p>\n
DesNoran ("dess-nor-ahn") – e’Noran<\/p>\n
DesHana ("dess-hahn-ah") – e’Hana<\/p>\n
DesBata ("dess-baht-ah") – e’Bata<\/p>\n
DesGora ("dess-gore-ah") – e’Gora<\/p>\n
DesTeran ("dess-tair-ahn") – e’Teran<\/p>\n
MondArte ("mond-art-ay") – h’Arte<\/p>\n
MondaRelakot ("mond-rell-ah-cot") – h’Relakot<\/p>\n
MondSurot ("mond-ser-aht") – h’Surot<\/p>\n
MondBenat ("mond-ben-aht") – h’Benat<\/p>\n
MondDenate ("mond-den-ah-tay") – h’Denate<\/p>\n
MondKuramot ("mond-ker-ah-maht") – h’Kuramot<\/p>\n
MondTurok ("mond-ter-ah-k") – h’Turok<\/p>\n
Roland Desmond brought the warring clans together under his banner, and introduced many sweeping changes that proved beneficial to the people.<\/p>\n
History would recognize him as Roland Desmond, the God-Blessed, who had come to World in the midst of a godly battle, and had stayed to bring peace and prosperity to everyone.<\/p>\n
Because of him, "Roland" became synonymous with Emperor, and there was only ever one Roland. Though there were many princes.<\/p>\n
