Pirates come to rule the seas, but the history of Sun is that of a king of the waves turned king of the sun. Edmund Lan du'Morey was thought to have been born in the region of central [[Mistone]] just as the turmoil of the [[Cataclysm]] was about to occur. In his day he was unmatched in skill at the rapier or the diplomatic tables. This came to his advantage as at the age of 35 his ship was finally caught and the captain jailed awaiting execution on the gallows of what is now Vehl. The exact story of his subsequent escape is not known, but is surmised to involve the jailer's daughter, a few well whispered promises and a whole lot of luck, as the captain finds himself at the prow of the [[Dragon]] rather than on the end of a rope. In the hold are 150 prisoners and slaves bound for the [[realms]] on what is now [[Dregar]]. The ship never made it to its recorded destination.

The port where he made call was locally known as [[Lan's Port]]. Those souls in the hold of the Dragon were the first subjects of the King of Sun. Edmund Lan du'Morey may have been handsome, charismatic and a rake but he was also delusional. He claimed the mountain spoke to him and called him a king. It promised him riches and power as long as a sentinel stood in its wake. Edmund used his cargo of slaves and pirated several more to build what is known as the [[Sun Castle]]. During the near century he lived, he methodically set out a bloodline and, if rumor is correct, a written plan, on how, in his eyes, create the perfect ruling class.
