Silenius au Lune, the legendary first Overlord and Lightbringer of the Conquerors, is invoked as the mythic founder of the old Sovereignty whose legacy shapes the ambitions of his descendants. In Iron Gold, his name is invoked by the Raa as a symbol of lost glory, while Lysander au Lune traces his lineage directly to Silenius, positioning himself as heir to the Lightbringer’s mantle.
