Dao Yorinaga

Leader of the human government of Northwestern Liang since pre-history. Many deem him a demon of the ancient, Far Eastern sort, but the government has always stonewalled on naming the feudalistic sovereign exactly that. Content to keep the title 'Lord' and 'Messenger' for the great black wyrm that sleeps beneath Sauranero, Dao Yorinaga has led the Liangjin into wars with dwarves, Magdhans, and Allaneans, and always come out ahead.

The Lord Yorinaga seems to be eternally clad in dark black armor and a red cape etched in swirling ancient characters.
