Telmein III

Emperor Telmein III was Emperor of the Rosen Empire from IA 965 until his death in 991. His time as Emperor was characterised by his brutal oppression of the Western Protectorate, his absolute control of the Imperial Court and his own immense and evil magical power. He maintained control in the Empire via the military, battle mages and demons that he personally summoned.

In IA 988, Telmein proclaimed the Edict of Apotheosis, delcaring himself the prophesied New God and demanding dominion over all of Fruos. Refusing to submit, Galbard, Soveliss and Felwyn formed an alliance with the Dwarfen relams that opposed the Empire, resulting in the Great War. In 991, during the decisive Battle of Laimen, Telmein was slain by an Unknown Cleric; his death signified the end of the war, the surrender of the Imperial Court and the dissolution of the Rosen Empire.
