Eons after the action, all that is left are stories. Eons after )(er Imperious Condescension died, there was the legend of the last Emperor, and the First, the Manumitted.
They had conquered the Alternia devouring queen, )(IC, and had done mighty deeds, freeing the still living Lady of the Deeps from the crushing depths and the land from fear of her unknowable voice. They had ended the mind scourge, the gouges cut into the pans of the then low; they had single handedly killed the creator of the Helmstrolls.
The last Emperor’s line had one last descendant, the Humblest, who after some ten sweeps of making sure it could be done changed the empire, from Alternia its hub to its furthermost reaches into a democracy. Despite his abdication, the Last Emperor remained the last, and held no puppet strings. The empire splintered into planets, each with their own negotiated ties to Alternia, the Hub around which they Spun.
The First, the Manumitted, remembered in two faiths, doffed the title of Highblood as the planet was reformed to be as the First of a new church. This church was not blameless by nature of novelty, yet it decried not the old church, or the messiahs, but what was done in their old names.
Like the First who had been the Grand Highblood, the Messiahs went through a second pupation. Like wrigglers, the gods with his help cast off their old names, no longer Calliope and Caliborn ever again, but only Comedia and Tragedis, different and new and reformed. They were not spoilt children from beyond the stars, but adults, who knew and did not toy with their adherents for plots they could not understand. One night, during a mass of his beloved and sacred paperwork, the First disappeared.
The First of the Church and the Last of the Finperious did not die, say the legends, but abdicated from life into a new and better world, say the church. The First probably used his rumoured reality warping powers, mutter the secular.
Significantly, the church agrees to disagree.
