# [[Vile King Lucius IV]] >*The Fallen Emperor, The Undead Emperor, the Eternal Emperor* ![[Vile King Lucius hires.png|right lp|hsmall|invertb]] **Symbol:** Skull over the Golden Sun cross **Divine Concerns:** Conquest, undeath, necromancy. **Cleric Domains:** Death, Arcana, Order, Light, War King Lucius the IV was the usurper emperor of [[Aurora]]. He was responsible for enslaving the unbelievers of [[Sol]], lest they would bring [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]] back. He believed in purity of belief, and declared that only pure [[Aurorans]] were worthy of enjoying the riches of the empire, and all others were inferior and should toil for it until they died. He was allegedly assassinated and resurrected, then became a lich. As an emperor, he fought all vertents of the [[Church of Sol]] that didn’t agree with his absolute command. After his defeat, the reign of Lucius the IV was called the [[Reign of Terror]], his status as emperor was revoked, and the [[Church of Sol]] and the [[Empire of Light]] made him into an enemy of the Church. As with [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]], Vile King Lucius is only referred to in insults and curses. [[Lucian]] don’t recognize the figure of Vile King Lucius, and call him [[Saint Lucius the Purifier]]. This worship is frowned upon, so [[Lucian]] keep this religion secret. The largest Lucian organization is the secretive [[Heretic Church of the Golden Horizon]]. The dates of the ritual of lichdom are marked in the [[Auroran Calendar]] as the [[Grim Ascension]] period.
