The '''Bloodstone Emperor''' was the legendary ninth and last ruler of the mythic [[Great Empire of the Dawn]]. He was the son of the [[Opal Emperor]] and the younger brother of the [[Amethyst Empress]], who succeeded their father. Envious, he slew his sister and proclaimed himself the Bloodstone Emperor.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Bones and Beyond: Yi Ti}}

==History==
The Bloodstone Emperor's reign was a reign of terror. His usurpation became known as the [[Blood Betrayal]] in the annals of the [[Further East]], which claim that the act of usurping his sister's throne ushered in the [[Long Night]]. He practiced torture, dark arts, and [[necromancy]]. He [[Slavery|enslaved]] his own people, took a [[Tiger-men|tiger-woman]] for wife, feasted on [[Cannibalism|human flesh]] and cast down the true gods of [[Yi Ti]] to worship a [[black stone]] that fell from the sky.{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Bones and Beyond: Yi Ti}} Some scholars believe him to have been the first High Priest of the sinister [[Church of Starry Wisdom]].{{Ref|TWOIAF| The Bones and Beyond: Yi Ti}}
