"The Prince" is a card owned by my client.
The betrayer, the Ascendant, the one who almost destroyed the world. The Calamity, that saw the world torn asunder, was caused by mortal ambition. The young Prince Talisan Akhelion, younger brother to the Emperor of Roweni, cast aside his meager inheritance and orchestrated the near end of the world. Through cunning machinations, the Prince developed a ritual to drain the raw power released from the Calamity and use it to ascend to near-godhood himself. Now a Luminary, the Prince wages war still, an eternal one, pushing to control the hells and far-realms dominated by the Outsider. This is not out of a sense of right, to supplant the Outsider with a benevolent ruler, the Lord of Ambition still has desires and goals. The Prince remains no stranger to War, and actively watches and participates in the wars of mortals and his own immortal armies.
The Prince appears as a young human man, in his late 20s. A quaffed head of blonde hair, piercing eyes. The Prince wears a jagged black crown, the one he took from his brother’s head before he killed him. On each of his fingers, the Prince wears a dragon-claw ring, matching the 10 colors of dragons seen in the world. The Prince sees much from his black throne - he oversees the wars of mortals, fiends, and stranger things still - many that seek to beseech the Prince’s favor do so on the even of battle. Unlike those that beseech the Iron Goddess for protection and honor, warriors that seek the Prince’s favor wish for glory, power, and total victory in the crucible of war.
