Hello Lotm fandom today I propose that the Four Emperors of the Fourth Epoch are actually just references to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
To start with! While it's widely said that death, pestilence, famine and war are the four horsemen but the Bible doesn't actually name them. Except for death. Death is named and Hades is also there but that's besides the point.
What we do know is the colour of their horses and what they do and shit.
White - he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Red - And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from Earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.
Black - a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not damage the oil and the wine".
Pale - a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
White for Trunsoest, Red for Alista Tudor, Black for Solomon and Pale for Salinger
Trunsost crest or whatever is a crown. Red... Red Priest and lal that. Black is all discorder and remember how the fluctuating food prices in canon were a symptom of the kinds Black Emperor ritual? Right. Pale. Well. It's explicitly stated.
I admit that trunsoest is the most far fetched but consider: White and Red can both be interpreted as war and Trunsoest and Tudor were double consuls for a period of time. Also the bow is nowadays associated with feminity in a weird way and like. Trunsoest's wife Goddess of Beauty Auernia. Also smt smt sanguine are pale smt smt.
As for Black Emperor uh. Scale. Order. Fluctuating food prices? Disorder. Yeah.
I should go to sleep. Enough thoughts for today. It's 2:30 in the morning and I gotta catch a train in... 14 hrs
