Dulinor Astrin Ilethian is the 1st Ilethian Archduke of the 3rd Creation of the Archdukes of Ilelish [1].

Description (Specifications)[edit]

Duke Dulinor Astrin Ilethian of Dlan, the Duke of Dlan, was born in 1066 on the world of Dlan (Ilelish 1021), a non-Virasin resident of that world populated by adherents of the Virasa Religion of Dlan and its religious ruling authority. He rose to the highest levels of the nobility in the Domain of Ilelish with the approval and support of Emperor Strephon. Dulinor was elevated to the position of Archduke of Ilelish by Emperor Strephon in 1104 after the death of the previous incumbent without issue, an action opposed by many of the nobility.

Following Dlani tradition, Archduke Dulinor wore his hair short and always wore black clothing to show his membership in the military caste and that he was a non-Virasin. His hairstyle symbolically represents his acceptance of a life that could be cut short and the clothing is the color of Dlani funeral garb, meaning he willingly accepts death. To indicate his warrior status, he often wore a prop handgun with his formal attire and court dress.

  • Current Domain Seat at Dlan.

History[edit]

Dulinor Astrin Ilethian of Dlan was born in 1066 on the world of Dlan (Ilelish 1021), a non-Virasin resident of that world populated by adherents of the Virasa Religion of Dlan and its religious ruling authority, and rose to the highest levels of the nobility in the Domain of Ilelish with the approval and support of Emperor Strephon.

As Archduke, Dulinor built a strong reputation for himself in the sectors of Ilelish and Zarushagar. He was a champion of Ilelishi rights and culture under the Strephonian Reforms and was widely admired by the peoples of Ilelish.

Archduke Dulinor assassinated Emperor Strephon on 132-1116 at the Imperial Palace, along with several others, and claimed the Iridium Throne by Right of Assassination. This act starts the Rebellion.

It was claimed later by Strephon the Pretender that Dulinor had actually killed his double, used on special occasions where he had to be in two places at once. The Archduke refused to believe this, feeling the "real" Strephon was the fake (either a clone, a robot of some sort, or a surgically altered double).
