Autarch Vindaros the First Flame (Founder, 1st Age)
Unifier of the Seven Warlord Realms, conqueror of the Storm Moons, and builder of the Throne Crucible. Vindaros wielded the proto-celestial weapon Solbrand, a sentient blade that responded only to his bloodline. He set forth the Sacred Doctrine: “Power must be wielded by the worthy, not the weak.”
Autarch Maegros the Planet-Splitter (3rd Age)
A grandson of Vindaros, Maegros expanded the Tatari Dominion beyond the Draekhan Rift and brought over 300 planets into submission. His strength sundered the crust of entire worlds. Under his rule, Tataria became not only a force of destruction but of order through fear. He initiated the brutal Binding Wars, enslaving dozens of lesser species to construct the Starforged Armada.
Autarch Xaevor the Flame-Born (7th Age)
The first of his generation to claim the Throne through trial, Xaevor was the youngest of four sons—his three elder brothers having perished in failed attempts to pass the Crucible. His ascension marked a golden age of tactical conquest and scientific advancement. Xaevor established the Pyrean Council, uniting the scattered warlords under a centralized command structure. Under his leadership, Tataria's dominance spread not just through strength of arms, but through calculated diplomacy reinforced by overwhelming might.
Autarch Dravon the Black Oath (10th Age)
Dravon ruled during the War of Shattered Suns, when rebellion across the star system threatened Tataria's dominion. He crushed the resistance with a new doctrine: “Obedience is peace; rebellion is erasure.” His reign brought stability but at a great moral cost. Billions perished. He was both feared and venerated—a paradox of savior and tyrant.
