Sanguinius

When these chronicles began, at the dawn of the Present Age, Sanguinius had just abdicated the throne of the Blood Court, and been permitted his Enduring Rest. Sanguinius was responsible for commanding the peoples and armies of the Blood Lands during the Sanguine Age, which was named for him.

Like those who came before, Sanguinius served Aristotle with absolute deference and unwavering loyalty, carving a great and stable empire from the savage lands he had inherited from the Age of Insurrection and the lamentable leadership of Sooraj Ka Baagh.

The exploits of Sanguinius during the Sanguine Age are recorded in art that spans the length and breadth of the Blood Lands, and nowhere so much as in Droman Kass, as well as being recorded in the oral histories of the Charging Yeddim, the Annuls of the Heliod and the libraries of the Fecund and Flourish. Indeed, as is befitting his exploits both on the field of battle and in the Courts of Akinroc, he is widely remembered throughout the plane as both a terrifying monster, an accomplished general, and a formidable statesman. It is rare to say his name without being met by a curse or prayer, or some other more superstitious response.

Towards the end of his reign Sanguinius brought about the ascension of Hayid, Sage, Barstad, Nyx, Force and Morpheus.
