When he summoned Four Dragons from Draconic Realm, they are representatives of his inner Contradicted Desires. First was "Dragon of Meditation" from North (We understood him as August Dragon, Imin Lung), Second was "Dragon who knows Nature" (His Predecessor, Daruda), Third was "Dragon Eats Humans" his Doubt, Sorrow and Illusion (Metsyla and Shavaya), Fourth was most reverend but unknowable "Dragon who Swallows his Own Tail" from West (Heenmaroun) who guarded Land of Splendour from Anti Dragons.
Thalurzni asked him why they were gathered to that Center of World
"Capertine", Augustus answered,
"World will end and Thalurzni and his Successors must be ready for
Apocalypse. We don't Almighty, but we at least know Draconic Truth. Hankalo
was trapped to Minor Cycle and Dream Magic. Though Great Circle of Sramak
Blue Enormous Serpent surrounds Innerworld and perfectly and secretly
controls Human Life. His blood become Fleshwater innerworld."
And Daruda said,
"Hear our Word and change your way if you think you should do so, but we
cannot force you anything to do. Now Master of Golden Way is You. Magic
eventually faded from us. but it is minor dimension in much Greater Cycle,
Magic come and go. It will return back in the Far Future."
Augustus told again,
"In the Last Day of Apolcalypse, Kralorela in the Age of One not related to
Any Otherside will be encircled by Four False Dragon Gangs, as now you are
encircled by Four Elements. That is Worst Situation. Materialism perfectly
will drive Mysticism to Corner. That is Future of Black Cloud."
But Doubter confessed.
"We cannot see Future enough that Great Cycle will start recovery after
Whole of Destruction of Children of Ebe and Okerio, or not. But We can tell
you Those False Dragons at least will try to do. That is one of reason why
we remained Kralorela to keep Past Glory, Ancient Splendour and Magic and
Source."
HeenMaroun whispered,
"Already we see The Lier coming from East (Jerem), The Seducer coming from
South(Argrath), Materialist coming from West (Sheng Seleris) and Ignorant
coming from North (Can Shu) but they all will come back at the same time in
the Apocalypse, Ordinaries will believe them True Emperor and make Great
Civil War in the Land of Splendour. Magic coming from Humane Hope and
Imagination, but it originally will make gap to reality in the limited
state, and I will returning back the World as Great Dragon of Lightening
Bolt. The Four will meet One in the All created from One Element."
(Plutarch: We cannot tell about these Words coming from Prophesy, all
involves possibility to accidental coincidency, if you find the Name of
Jerem in the Original Context which can be changed by Modern Antagonists. We
also cannot distinguish about Argrath (That term means simply "Liberator" in
the Language of Storm Barbarians.), Can Shu and Sheng Seleris.)
Future Apocalypse & Mandara, Alchemy
He illustrated his Own Empire with highly symbolized Pictures which cycled
in his Furnace, and called it was Mandara which conceived All of Ideal of
Middle World with both Philosophical Six Principle: Silence, Secret, Being,
Experience, Thought, Spirit and Four Element: Darkness, Water, Earth and
Fire and Divine Rulers. He centered Kralorela and Emperor with Backspine of
ShanShan, and ended Edge with Great Spiral of Storm. That hinted Warning of
Futuristic Collapse of this Harmony and it can be used for Fortune Telling
and Prophesy.
Halisayan added that Illustration with her beautiful tapestry, which describes of Animals and Plants of Fifteen Provinces of Empire, (Even in that Age, some Parts were already below the Wave.) and Peoples which admited Authority and Wisdom of Draconic Energy, so she was only woman taught Use of Furnace as Music Instrument, Thalurzni bestowed to his wife that reward as she could make Harmony, Chord and Melody to replicate Music of Cosmic Genesis which Avanparloth or Ancestral Dragon made.
(Later Vashanti also made Sky Mandara which corresponded with Mandara of Thalurzni, he can make usable it for Astrology and Fortunetelling which far derived from Dara Happan Imperial Tradition, Yuthuppa.)
Making Pill of Immortality
At First, all of Bloodline of Ebe had Immortality and didn't know any Aging
and Senility yet. When Metsyla fell to Greed, still People didn't know any
hunger for Light of Maluraya itself shone over People and they could eat
them like Grain as much as they could.
But the Sun was gone, and many way of Vithelan Glory went to useless, Daughter of Shavaya Miyo told People of Kerendaruth about Rice planting and cooking, but Conflict and Aging started when Ebe was died in the Eastern Vithela. Nourishment of Miyo wasn't enough of them and some fell from Fear to Superstitious Cannibalism for lost Eternal Life and AntiDragoness. Human should have resist Fear of Aging and Senility for their Way removed from True Draconic Way. Though it was Test and Treasure for Wise and Sage, Ordinaries enslaved to Garden of Temptation greatly grumbled to someone who was Unknown but offered their Fate of "Doom" to them. Once Daruda prohibited eating Meat, but soon stopped that Order except to Sacred Class.
Miyo Rice Mother and Okerio Allgiver already taught Twin Bodkartu and Halisayan about another Pass of Immortality, but Thalurzni well knew that Way was already corrupted by False Dragons and had risk to enslave whom those used that. He already had understood the Importance of his Passion to his Wife is required for Understanding, so he decided to test her whether Halisayan and Bodkartu was suited to that Secret....because he must never have leaked that secret which conceived Great Risk of Destruction to AntiDragons and Ignorant Giants.
After his Journey to Ivaro Pool which concealed in Depth of Kahar after
MetsylanGlory. He started making Pill of Immortality, and he searched the
Location of his "Yrtgal", which conceived his True Self as the Well to
Daruda. He saw Essense of his Youth Age in his Furnace and burned his
Negative Passion to Hatred, Self-Destruction, Corruption, and Greed. So Fire
grew to Great Inferno in the his Inner Cosmos. He changed his Form of Child
Age of Initiation Guild Hall Maze, he wandered long in the Furnace. But he
couldn't have long found his Yrtgal.
(Plutarch: Both Yrtgal (Mystical States between Inner Dragon Arangolf and
Self Consciousness) and Capertine (Draconic Afterlife World) are EWF
Drolgard School Terms applied to Similar Kralorelan Terms when we met in the
University of Nochet, but Nuance has possibility to Wrongness or
Inappropriation.)
In the Middle of labyrinth, Arangolf which had Obsidian Black Scales asked
him, "Why you need Pill of Immortality?"
"Because people often don't have enough Time to attain Enlightenment, that
was Need for Ascension."
"What is Enlightenment? Knowledge only leads People to More Entanglement of
Garden of Temptation. Are you confident the Consequence?"
"Kralorelan Empire founded over that Basement, Dragon Emperor is First
Servant for Subject of Empire and Model for Meditator between Material and
Spirituality. Utuma is only Self Destruction if it didn't which created such
as Species of Beauty and Truth. It leads Reality and Pleasure for guarding
Light from Darkness, if I cannot remain it, all will disintegrate to now
Scattered Archipelago of Vithela, Nightmare of Hankalo."
"So what is the Role of your Wife, Emperor of Middle World?"
"I knew Tragedy of Imadsalash, all of Philosophy and Elements must be
reorganized, who can dare to do that task? Daruda selected me for this Task.
But that Dangerous Situation left me to Closing Fallen Status, Halisayan
will be Anchor preventing me from Self Destruction. Halisayan sacrificed
Eternity for this Higher Status."
After that Conversation, they fought against each other. And Young Thalurzni
realised then that he was ready to kill his Long Dead Father of Metalsmith.
He finished and got Drop of Golden Liquid coming from Mercury and Sulphur of
Storehouse.
He brought Pills from Furnace. And Halisayan drank Half but offered her husband jointly taking. Hence another half became Possession of Thalurzni though he once rejected which linked he and she, it would keep her Between Capertine and Mundane World. Summerland Heaven which only hung Lost Glory of Vithalash of TarnGatHa. Later Halisayan devided Half of Land of Kralorelan Dead with Udam Bagur.
(Later, many of outsiders tried to steal this Secret even they didn't know
meaning of Immortality in Mundane World. Some of them became autopmaton of
"Traditional" Habit, another became mere Ghost possessing body of another in
Mistaken Usage. Worst became False Dragons. But only Kralorelan Thalurzni
Way has remained safety to that "Curse".)
Chaos Army and Ignorance
Thalurzni let One of his Subject and Great Mystic Student Hua Lowchu become
Devotee of Kabalt, because he soon understood that is the Another Persona of
HeenMaroun. He sent off the Army of Kralorela to Jankley Bore and Sha Yar
Valley, though he didn't trust his Auxiliaries. Only School of Darja Danad
greatly was supported, and though Darja died on the halfway to Sortum, his
Disciples would have finished that Task.
But at last, AntiDragons enslaved Thalurzni, because he never permitted himself escaping from his Furnace, his Masterpiece even encircled by AntiDragon Horde by Treachery of his Subject. He hid in his own Furnace instead of abandoning his Great Work. Neither AntiDragons could break nor work his Furnace for lacking such Art or Skill.
Instead of that, they brought it into their deepest Dungeon of Irenamalash, Home of Babadi and Taktari, they had a hard time trying to open or break it, but they could not succeed. Thalurzni fell to Difficult Situation and he could do only Ways of Meditation which bestowed some Orthodox Mystical Power
over him. He prevented them from Opening of his Furnace using One of Such Power.
Thalurzni still didn't know All Secret of Daruda, for his Greatmess, he needed Far more than Standard Level of Disciplne. (Plutarch: Yelm was confined to Underworld in Kralorelan Version, but Kralorelans think Underworld Hell of Udam Bagur administration which punishes and cleanses the Soul of Guilty and Many Headquarters of AntiGods perfectly divided. So that was not Variety of Lightbringer's Quest mythology. Connection to Stellar Knowledge of KataMoripi and Dendara doesn't appear evidently in that Mythology.)
Halisayan went to Stronghold of Antigods with only her Twin-Sister Bodkartu. Han Majang coldly told her that it was her duty that All subjects of Empire must tried All Possession for Imperial Welfare and Brightness of Dragon's Body. All of Imperial Regions became Turbulent for Vacancy of Throne and Rightful Empire. He said that was why Halisayan taught Compassion to Limited World and permitted Evil living.
She knew her Time was Over. She smiled sadly to her child Absalan and departed to go Long Journey to Stronghold of AntiDragons. Later Han Majang repented his Cold Word. She covered her with Veil of Illumination which bestowed Invisibility for many residents of Inner World, Demons and Spirits. But Demons which had same Illumination easily could see through it.
Bodkartu once advised her refusing to help such a Fool. But Halisayan now
drank jointly Pill of Immortality for his Effort. Bodkartu went with her
Darkest Road but refused to go Inner Chamber of Sekever where even her
Darkest Will fade with Evil Sorcery of False Dragon. She lonely went to
Depth of Earth.
(Plutarch: Many of Kralorelans questioned where she went, some insisted that
is Diamond Mountain, and Destruction which Dragon made before History caused
Octamonism to Mostali, but there was not any authensity God Time Alliance of
Mostali and Circle of Eastern AntiGods, many Godlearners now think that
Entrance existed to the More Eastern Location.)
Because Thalurzni well knew Babadi has not any such arts to controll such Artifacts until someone would have taught about that though their false self confidence was obstinate, because they never admit Genius coming from Freedom...After all, Babadi Artisans and Taktari Technologists abandoned planning to dismantle Furnace with Anger, so they invited Sekever from Edge of the World, and let him breakthrough that Construct of his Grand Pattern with Power of Coiling and Hagging. He sensed Coming of Halisayan, but he wanted to get her in the Stronghold of False Dragon, so made Guardians freely induce Invaders as he could torture her before Furnace of Thalurzni. (Plutarch: Difference between Octamonist and Orthodox Decamonist?)
Thalurzni began Thaumatagic Style Meditation in the Confinement before him, and he started to make ready to Utuma. He still have didn't know all his requirement for Utuma. If it would have finished, he eventually became Too Powerful, but False Dragon, that was Idea of Sekever and the Atyari. So often he could not barrier his Quick Temper to react. Sekever whispered to him Doubt which appeared one of his Characteristic, Empire already abandoned him and appointed New Emperor. But his lie didn't fully work when she invaded to Pandemonium.
Sekever easily saw through Veil of Illumination and ordered his Slaves to capture her. Demons and AntiDragons encircled her without Guard her Sister's Clow and Fang, and gladly took her Inner Chamber of Irenemalash, where she wanted to enter in, but there was All of Members of Pandemonium took part in the Great Feast and Banquet of Sekever, and they always atrociously wanted Bloody Entertainment in their Gathering, so she survived at that Time, if she could please them for a Moment, it also intervened Thalurzni's Utuma.
Other Tricks were exchanged between Halisayan and Sekever. Halisayan asked, "Would you let me show and taste my Music of All of Cycles of Life and Death? Which will open the Furnace and liberate my husband, we will present that Treasure you as ransom of our Life. You cannot convince my hunband merely Torture of his Maid-Wife." Sekever grinned, "If you can do it, sooner is better, or Our Huan Toos will eat from your soft flesh to marrow of bone. If you cannot do that, we will torture you and force him to open from Inside." The two knew each other well. She well knew if AntiDragons knew his System of Furnace for his uncompleted Utuma, Effect of Tragedy should be Vast.
Halisayan played the Music with Furnace of Thalurzni before Many AntiDragons, they whipped her endlessly while she tired out and fell because they routinely enjoyed her Agony and her Beauty, so she again tried to awake Thalurzni and stop his Utuma. Halisayan fascinated them with sacrifice of her Spiritual Essense. His Blood colored Scarlet her Small Legs and Feet, and Demons laughed at Cowardice of Thalurzni.
But if he abandoned her, he would became AntiDragon, and Kralorelan Future would have fallen to Darkest Doom. Because Secret of Furnace and Alchemy would reveal before False Dragons if Thalurzni went to False Dragon's Side, if he could not distinguish "Nysalor" and "Arkat". But she eventually finished All of Cycles of Life and Death. That Music of trick played Primal Status in the Court of TarnGatHa before Dragons and FalseDragons split...Very Peaceful Age. One by one they fell to Sleep and even Sekever slipped to Deep Coma.
Banquet of AntiDragons ended with their All Sleeping for her Magical Power. She finished All of Cycle and used it's Magic for Binding Consciousness of AntiDragons, even Sekever fell asleep. But Sacrifice was great, if she didn't drink Pill of Immortality, she would perfectly vanished to Void and Oblivion at that Time, but Pill let her escape to Summerland Heaven which made for Source of Compassion. She cried with both Blue Tear and Red Eye. (Plutarch: Many Kralorelans have used this combination as Symbol of Sorrow.)
Thalurzni:"Why and What so much for your cry and mourning?" Halisayan:"That was Answer why I once coherently opposed Idea to wed to you, you will never distinguish why and whether for I sacrificed myself....For Empire...or Yourself? That is Limit of...Garden of Temptation." she knelt down before Furnace of her husband, crumbled down and died.
So it revealed what is "Source of Compassion", Finally Halisayan died for her Heart broken for that Hardship before his Furnace which deeply Chained by AntiDragons and Coiled by Sleeping Lord Sekever's Body, but final Entreaty and Catalysis of his Wife awaken his Innerself, and Black Dragon of Thalurzni shattered and blew off the Shackle and Chains. (He let his Furnace Draconic Shape of Black Serpentine.)
He realized his Innerself always living in his Masterpiece, and he destroyed sleeping Sekever's Body, his First and Last Low-Down Trick and he sobbed for he could not help Halisayan and broke his Enemy with Dirty Trick rather than Righteous Duel. But he could not do that lest he awake whole of members of Pandemonium. So Humanity and Draconic Esoterica bridged, he called Great Storm and left Great Palace of AntiGods.
But he knew he could not destroy that AntiDragon merely a Physical Blow and Spirit of Sekever as Dark Mist escaped Hall of Evil to Eastern Land. Returning Kralorela with his Beloved Wife's Corpse. He knew he would never meet her again until he eventually would abandone all of his possession under Garden of Temptation. So he must wait for His Ascension and watch their Child-Prince grew.
His Son and Mikaday
Absalan was their Beloved son, First Immature Dragonson (Reign of Mikaday
Age's Term: controlling Harem of court) of Halisayan and Thalurzni, but he
didn't have Thalurzni's Brilliance but only his Great Passion, didn't have
Halisayan's Great Mercy but her Great Desire, AntiDragons secretly taught
him that he will succeed his Father's Throne in the course of Metsylans, as
Many Archlords of that Age of Kralorela, Thalurzni well knew he wasn't equal
to that Task, but his Lost-Love held his Hand from his own Self-Destruction.
Last Message of Halisayan bound him. That was Change of World and Great
Guardian, Inevitable.
When Augustus pronounced Next Emperor shall be Mikaday One of his Disciple when he awaked after Long Meditation, Thalurzni didn't please that Word. Because he saw Weakness of Mikadey in his Great Generosity and Compassion. Gradually Stars and Planets returned to Sky World, but Mikaday wandered Ordinary Lands for Helping Weaks and Children. While Absalan became Great Warlords for Empire and gained Great Fame from Foolish Ordinaries. Thalurzni also became to Victim of Dilemma, which is Weakness in his Concept. Han Majang became Close Friend of Mikaday, Empire seemed Split into Two.
But Kilins and Phoenix also came to celebrate Rightful Successor Mikaday, and stopped Thalurzni from Any Action. That urged Absalan to brek down his self-Trust, forced to Despair and Terminal Action. When Absalan rebelled against his Court for taking Throne from Mikaday, Thalurzni finally and reluctuntly called Army against him. Heaven itself groaned for that Kinstrife.
Last Tragedy, Father crushed Army of his Beloved Son. His Army drove Army of Anti Dragons. But Mikaday knew there was no Solution between Father and Son while Bloody War lasted. So he solely went to Location of Absalan's Escape.
While Thalurzni steeled himself to destroy his most Beloved to Tent, he saw Mikaday blessed Absalan in Dying Bed and recorded Last Word of Doomed Prince, Absalan gave Last Message to his Father and asked never such Tragedy would occur again to his Same Kind and died. (So never Dragonsons and Eunuchs can have become Emperor of Kralorela ever since.) Thalurzni realised Only Compassion of Mikaday helped his son from Ruining and understood the time when his Life was Over as Daruda said, and then All was Hollow to Void after following his Beloved son deceased. World changed during his reign. So he finally understood Meaning of his Limited Life.
"You win, now I will go Summerland Heaven and accompanied the Route to
Capertine with my Precious Wife, but we acted well, didn't us?" Thalurzni
asked,
"Yeah, you well acted." Mikaday replied to his Mentor.
Thalurzni crushed his Bell and summoned his Furnace and took Shape and Form of Black Obsidian Dragon, and departed to Eastern Summerland Heaven. Many pleased Enthronement of Mikaday the Merciful, but some of Wise People sorrowed that Damage to the World, because their World had lost again their Most Precious Treasure of Thalurzni's Brave, Talent and Art.
His Ascension and Summerland
Elders blamed many his Deeds and wanted to destroy his record to Damnacio
Memoriae, but Mikaday refused. Your World isn't All for Blaming Alchemist
Thalurzni, if you survived All of Age of Lighthouse, you must be ready to
have Another Answer for it.
After his reign, Sekeverans and their master Huan Toos once stole Furnace of Thalurzuni from Kralorelan Palace. (Later, Emperor Vayobi attacked Diamond Mountain Octamonist Babadi for that Sin?) Vayobi once fell to Great Luxury and Gluttuny and fell to Returning of Sekever, but Thrunhin Dah teaching helped that Artisan Decadant Emperor reaching Great Warlord of Empire and reconstructer of Art of Thalurzni, though he could not remake Furnace of Thalourzni. His Furnace dropped to Depth of Suam Chow. And many Treasure Hunters have failed to salvage this Treasure and Past Symbol of Empire.

What means "King of Dragonpass"?
Many Residents of Human and Demihuman live in Dragonpass Area. Though
Dragonewts and their Ruler Inhuman King possessed Hegemonical Power over All
of them, they denied Communcation for their Own Nature and Past Fail of EWF.
(But we can never truly understand their Motives and Thinking. They founded
Concept of "King of Dragonpass" in Historical Line. We can understand Sartar
and Feathered Horse Queen ritually and politically wedded for Balance of Pow
er and Religious Reason which would bestow them Prosperity and recognition
of Dragonewts...It didn't require Intervention of Personal Romances like in
the Variety of "Argrath's Saga", Holay Queen=Incanne=FHQ.
But why that combination required? FHQ is very magically Important Posotion which gives Connection to Symbol of Dragonpass's Earth and (IMHO) Kero Fin, and Grazers are naturally extinct Race of Pure Horse tribe which has Lost Magic linked to Special Races of Horse and Worship of Kargzant. Some of Materials of Herowars mentioned prophesy She has Power of Earth, which will permit Modern "Dirty" Horse Tribes to gain or recover such power. Grazers gained Some Magical Connections with Beastfolk and their Leader Demigod Centaur Ironhoof when they get Permission to living in the Dragonpass as Dweller and Master of Vendref. (But in the Early Years, what could they eat? They cannot attack friend Beastfolk, they only can assault Elves, Dwarfs and Uz...and can eat only their Own Dead Horses and Hunt and Gather.)
She didn't have absolute authority and jointly ruled many Grazer Clans and Tribes with Male Leader Chieftain of All tribe, she grips Such Power, "King of Sartar" refered Some Names of FHQ:
These are Lists of CHDP:
Reaches Farthest: Wedded with Sartar, Prince of Quivin Orlanthi (Queen of
Dragonpass)
Keeps the Children: Wedded with Jaldanroste Redhair, but he maybe didn't
have Authority to KODP
Mother of Lands: Wedded with Tarkalor, Prince of Quivin Orlanthi (Queen of
Dragon pass)
Splendid among the Proud: No Husband
Riches Without Tears: Wedded with Moirades, King of Tarsh Kingdom (Queen of
DragonpMass)
Single Matron Woman: No Husband
With Bitter Heart: Husband? Mother of Chieftain Jarsandron?
Reaches All: Wedded with Argrath the Liberator (Queen of Dragonpass)
So these are conditions for King of Dragonpass
1: He is Husband of FHQ 2: He is Famous Leader of Orlanthi 3: He gains Admittance of Inhumanking, true ruler of DP
But Sartar divorced with FHQ....Tarkalor was not Friend of All Races of
Dragon Pass,
Moirades was not Friend of Beastfolk as Supporter of Lunar, Argrath wedded
with Many Wives?
Maybe title of KODP hasn't any actual power except some connection to Earthly Power of Dragonpass.
