Bio: This line is one of the eldest Imperial Bloodlines, established by the youngest son of Raynor I, but none of its members claimed the throne until Mors I in 968. The heirs of this line wield the legendary Sword of Mortis, forged by the line's progenitor in b2323. The Sword of Mortis has never left the bloodline.
By about 1771 most members of the Line of Mortis had migrated to the Isle of Benacia, where they took up a number of elements of the local culture, including a ceremonial use of the Benacian language. In 1978 the first Mortis Kaiser of this tradition came to the throne as Kaiser Mors IV, who began the tradition of Kaiserial epithets, naming himself Nerrolar, the Arbiter.
