Imperator Zedus

Lore

During the second invasion of Athensphere, Gazia unleashed another horde of mechanical beasts that dwarfed the first. Zedus knew that the city was lost and that his people did not stand a chance against Gazia and his mechanical army. But Zedus had not given up. He ordered the City of Athensphere to be abandoned and it's people evacuated. Tridon was to carry the citzens to safety aboard his ships. Ultor, Hadaron and Aurelia remained behind to hold off Gazia's horde while the people fled. Zedus knew that he didn't have enough time to evacuate an entire city. He had to buy them more no matter the cost. Climbing to the highest point of the imperial palace, Zedus poured his life force into one final attack, summoning a lightning storm that engulfed the entire city. Lightning bolts fell relentlessly upon Athensphere, each taking the form of a raging Thunder beast that hunted its enemy with terrifying speed. When the storm subsided, the only sounds to be heard came from the distant harbour packed with frightened people desperate to flee the city. With a final breath, Zedus bade his people one last farewell. Little did he know that a far greater disaster was about to befall Athensphere.
