How about no? Only I can controle Emperor Trilkan. Besides, I have planes for him and his apprentice (like, say a showdown at the end of my Rebellion).

Also, Trilkan is a Kirtir Lord, not a Sith lord. The difference?
Kirtir aren't as ambitious or sometimes as stupid as sith are.
They won't just kill their masters just to climb the ranks when they feel like it. They have a more, evil logical reasoning. There fore, there are 6 Kirtir lords (each with their own unique abilities).

BTW,

Here is something else my nation is armed with:

Reformed Velmora
25-03-2005, 14:25
Kain Brightblade Shentavo, vampiric ruler of Reformed Velmora, a nation where magic is within everyone and everything, has many different tools to defend himself from whatever he may face, and has adapted his fighting style along the years to accomidate additions to his skills and evolving situations.

Observant Pillar


http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/psi_gallery/Psi_3.jpg

Within his mortal years, Kain was primarily a mage, member of the Peacekeepers, as all Psi rulers are (Psi are the race of Velmora, being like humans but with increased arcane abilities and a culture which utterly revolves around magic) and called upon the possibilities of magic around him to do his bidding. To assist him in this, he used his own staff which was attuned to his personal attributes and methods. Given to him at an early age, by his father Xzar Brightblade, the staff grew and still does, to Kain's evolving combat style. For example, if Kain used magic which involved flame elements, it would become more accustomed to channeling such energy, and become more adapt to channeling the energies through it. If one used it in physical combat, it would harden more so, and become more accustomed to swift magic associated with those who wove physical combat with arcane combat, as the Psi Peacekeepers often do. This staff was named the "Observant Pillar" due to this ability for learning.

The staff itself seems rather simple on first glance, and rather fragile. The silver shaft leading plainly up to three silver prongs which grip a clear crystal can make the weapon seem a rather simple, and more ceremonious one. However, on closer inspection, the weapon can be seen to bear various complex runes upon the shaft, and the crystal when observed closely, can have colours swimming within it, very subtly. This weapon often changes appearance during combat depending on the situation, but such changes are hardly swift. Overall, the weapon is useful due to it's natural affinity to it's users needs, highly flexible, and a weapon which suit's Kain's needs for versitile nature.

This weapon was reforged after it shattered within an intense conflict, which allowed Kain to make the abilities within the staff more prominant, and made it more durable to physical damage permanently.

Robes of Velmora


These robes are the robes granted to rulers of Velmora, tailor made for each new ruler of Velmora. They are pure white, and are both ceremonious and practical in combat. Worn by all of the rulers, they have a golden trim on the bottom of the robes, the sleeves and the hood of the robes. These robes are rarely worn by Kain in recent years due to the nature of his combat, but they still serve a purpose. These robes grant Kain increased concentration upon the field of combat, lending him a minor increase in how much energy he can focus upon. Although, these are hardly the reasons why Kain might wear them. With these robes, Kain can inspire his forces into greater feats of heroism, as every Psi recognises the robes and what they stand for. Upon the field of combat, Psi can actually sense that Kain is nearby, assisting them in combat.

The robes have had recent additions of Kain's clan name, Shentavo, upon the front in runes. Only Kain may wear these robes and receive the full effects of the enchantments. Another perosn wearing these robes would only enjoy the comfort that is provided.

These robes are worn regulary when Kain is within Velmora, but outside of Velmora Kain does not wear them. Mostly, Kain prefers to remain discreet outside of his own borders, and such robes does make one distinguished.


B'jorn's Hands

These gauntlets are unusual due to Kain's hands. Kain own demon like hands, three cloven talons for fingers, prevents him from wearing ordinary gauntlets or gloves. As a result, Kain forged these gauntlets to allow him to parry using his hands if required, shunning the use of a buckler or a shield in combat. Such gauntlets serve a double purpose, as they have the ability to simply become normal leather gloves, suited for Kain's hands. In normal peaceful conditions, they are black leather with a soft interior. Unwittingly, Kain allowed himself to now write as a normal individual (normal pens would break under his talons) and now could shake hands with people, lending some practical purposes. In combat however, these gauntlets reform under a mental command, becoming a dark crimson metal which close perfectly around Kain's hands and upwards his wrist in a flowing manner. Kain named the gauntlets after the strength of his freind, who died within a civil war of Velmora. B'jorn was a mighty and honourable warrior of Velmora, which weilded a massive claymore and wore unorthodox plate mail which granted him protection in combat. Convential armour of the Psi would be chain mail, which makes one more manuverable and able to use magic.

The metal is demonic in nature, the dark red metal being completely unbreakable by normal weapons, and almost without exception impervious to arcane weapons of a normal nature. Only the most powerful weapons have a hope of shattering the metal, and these would most likely have to be against the demonic energies which spiral within the metal. The gauntlets appear highly vicious, spikes and motifs of darker ideas upon it.

These gauntlets are called upon in every combat, as they lend Kain additional grip to his weapon, and allow him to use his talons to greater advantage, piercing through ordinary armour with ease. In addition, spell casting is not affected by the gauntlets, being flexible enough to allow Kain complicated gestures required for spells. The reason why Kain might not use these gauntlets is thier appearance, which lend him an image of being a bloodthirsty vampire, who would terrorify the ignorant with his appearance alone, his green skin, talons and dramatic white mane of hair might make people attack and ask questions later.


The Brightblade

http://images.legacyofkain.net/sr1/captures/intro/kain_11.jpg

http://www.geocities.com/solidbat/reaver.jpg

Kain's primary weapon, and his namesake, the weapon which Kain has become known to using in almost all serious conflicts is terribly efficent and at point of Kain's existance has sustained him so that he may continue. Forged by the ancient forces which ruled Velmora, the weapon remained dormant of it's true power. Revered as a holy weapon, Kain took up the blade as his father went insane. The weapon, only allowed to be used by the rulers of Velmora who would don the name of Brightblade due to the ability to weild the weapon, was seen as the birthright of the princes of Velmora. Due to Xzar, being insane and at war with Velmora with his own dark forces, not having the weapon, his son, Kain, took up the weapon.

Kain would unlock the weapon's true abilities and make it's spirit awaken, when the young ruler became vampiric. Under this new life, the demon imprisioned within the Brightblade lended it's strength to Kain. Such power was immense, but as time progressed, the demon was banished deliberately by Kain as it sought to destroy Kain for it's own freedom.

Kain reformed the weapon, and it retained much of it's old power. Being made of old metals which to this day are unidentifyable, the weapon is perfectly suited to Kain's needs. It is long enough to be used as a double handed sword, being swung mightily by Kain with both of his hands, or used with only one hand so that Kain might parry or cast a spell. Indeed, the weapon can be infused with a spell, so that a spell might explode from the sword itself midcombat. For example, Kain might chant a fireball spell while fending off opponents, and in the middle of the combat, point the blade towards an area and unleash the fireball.

The demon's presance within the blade granted the blade a certain abilities which it used to assist in Kain's survival. The blade is now a vampiric blade, drained it's opponents of the blood it sheds, so that Kain can concentrate upon defeating his opponents instead of feeding. This ability allows Kain to get stronger as his opponents get weaker, so the longer Kain fights and kills, the stronger he might become.

Being able to pierce through almost all metals and armours, this weapon has served the vampire well. There are two races which the weapon will actually become more effective against, demons and angels, the demon trapped within the blade fighting both. The skull hilt of the blade will actually become animated, growling darkly and it's eyes burning in fury.

The weapon is highly versitile, extremely potent, and perfect for Kain's needs. As with B'jorn's Hands, the weapon's hilt can lend Kain an appearance which he might not wish, but this is forgivable. In addition, Kain cannot really use the weapon in a defensive manner, due to it's draining ability, and if a user is not used to the weapon, it can be extremely hard to use, due to the wave blade being difficult to parry with and predict what to do with. But Kain has learned how to use the blade with terrible efficency, and has become iconic due to it's striking appearance.

The Black sword of Demon-Slaying is used by Queen Mariah-Rebecca Penelope Stuart (but only when needed). Reputedly cast from black obsidian from the depths of Hell, it is not your normal black Obsidian and was once used by an arch-angel for Demon-slaying. It is now the possession of the High Priestess of Davidian Order, for the elimination of Demons (Masons) on Earth. The sword also allows the user to issue the "Holy Word" which renders creatures of Hell to be paralysed.

I am confused. Why would any leader require weaponry in his/her/its line of work? As a political interface and records organisation unit, I can safely say that I have never found any reason to use a weapon whilst performing my duties. All Mykonian units involved in government are standard humanoid models, either H1 or H2 editions, and they are not armed.

The only Mykonian units which utilise any form of weaponry are those whose duties involve fighting off the barbarism of the organics. Soldier units are standard humanoid models modified to have extremely high powered, rapid-fire projectile weapons integrated into their lower arm, while a handful of others utilise weapons such as rocket or missile launchers instead. Our space units primarily use neutron-based weapons and high-yield explosive weaponry. Are soldiers not the ones designed for combat-related duties? Why arm governing units also? It would only damage the overall efficiency of your organisation to have your governing units go to battle as well as the soldier units.

MykoniaI beg to differ. Not all organics are warmongering hiveminds of hyperpatriotism who feel the need to carry an assault rifle for breakfast.

For example, we don't (But then, we do feature cybernetic implants, so... But still).

While I would agree that a fair amount of organic-based nations lack a certain amount of, well, sanity, I would assume that even intelligences such as yours have their black sheep, just like we do (Indeed, there are records suggesting that this kind of black sheep does, or did, indeed exist in societies based on intelligences comparable to your own. I recall certain events on pre-Caloris/ Seraphim occupied Mercury).

As such, I (That is, we) would prefer it if your people would choose a somewhat more differentiated approach when it comes to judging societies that differ from your own.

Well for one, in Velmora, there are forces which are hostile which one should be able to defend against. As a leader of Velmora, I am expected to fight alongside my forces, wheter it be against the restless dead who rise occasionlly from the underdark of our nation, or a pack of wolves, if there an attack which is nearby, I willingly assist. What good is a leader who cannot help the nation through his guiding hand, his protecting will and mind? To inspire courage, to inspire respect, you should not expect to ask something which you would not be willing to ask another.

In addition, unlike most other rulers, I go outside of my nation and fight when required to, when my hand is forced or I see that fighting is required. My kind, vampires, tend to be attacked, and I have accumilated the fair number of opponents, so to be defenceless would be insanity. Our nation promotes peace, but we are able to defend ourself from outsiders along with our own internal threats.

Compare it to what you might consider a king in humanities histories. Kings, rulers, were expected to fight alongside the forces they commanded. Although, they often did not fight in the frontlines. That is not what our way, if there is a war, I will gladly fight alongside my countrymen for what is right. I do not seperate myself from my people, most Psi have a weapon available to defend themselves, mostly weapons which have practical purposes. A staff for instance, will channel magical energies for both times of peace and war. A sword will be able to summon a small shower, or a shield protect one from the rain, or heal someone.

Weapons are pragmatic for my career, and when I was not ruler of Velmora due to personal matters, I still carried them for my own conflicts.

He's also useful for quelling any rebellions. We just send him down to 'negotiate', he causes millions in damage unintentionally, and we ask behind his back: "Do you REALLY want to overthrow our government, where this guy can be controlled (He's still an excellent speaker and thinker, though. Don't get me wrong.), or are you insane enough to let him just drive around in the general populace?"

Then, they just shut up, reasoning that they ought to let him do what he's best at, and keep him where his faults are safely restrained.

King Haakon carries a traditional Callisdrunian one-handed axe because that's tradition in Callisdrun. It is now really only ceremonial.

The Supreme Overlord Leon Alexei Adler has, for five thousand years, carried Pyramaerus, the "Fire of the Soul," into battle. He needs no other weapons. The blade cleaves the air faster than bullets, slays more decisively than any bombs or missiles, and has accumulated a larger body count than most armies can boast.

Forged jointly by Jehovah and the archangel (known only to the few mortals that know he exists as "Snake Eyes") to aid their champions in the battle against the Father of Evil, Lucifer, it was used extensively by the forces of God during both of the Wars in Heaven. Passed down from Snake Eyes to his Deraphim, his human incarnation, Leon Alexei Adler, it has since served and protected humanity. It is a fairly plain blade, seeing as the angels didn't have much use for flashy designs back in the good ol' days, it's only visible "special effect" are the faint glimmers of flame that ignite down the length of the blade when wielded by its rightful bearer.

Sharp enough to cleave a tank in half, strong enough to survive blows equivalent to a nuclear bombardment, and definately stylish, this blade is the weapon of choice of the Supreme Overlord.
