je peux te fournir le passage suivant, en anglais : (attention, c'est long)
In 0/27 (1247 ST) the Red Goddess danced the Dance of Memory and Promise and
ascended to the Sky
alongside her Moon. She left her son in her place, the Red Emperor. The Battle
of Castle Blue was a climatic
meeting upon the HeroPlane, in which various people brought to life their own
thoughts, dreams and desires. In
the midst of this battle various beings, who remain nameless to all except the
most prized members of the
Lunar cults, created a single conglomerate being. This being was not a hive
entity, not a gesalt spirit, but an
individual created from the desires and needs of the beings that would
eventually become known as the Egi,
who are the Council that make up the Emperor's magical and mystical
consiousness. Singulary they are known
as the Egus, and while most reside permanently on the Red Moon, others have
palaces in the Lunar Empire
and can be visited via mortal means. The Cult of the Red Emperor has HeroQuests
to meet the Egi and talk
with them.
He was created with a Creation Myth of unknown origin (many speak or Kralori
myths) by the Egi, and ever
afterwards was one of the most importantn individuals ever. He always stood at
the side of the Goddess, and
when she stepped aside, after reforming the Cosmos, she left the Red Empeor to
stand in her place. He strode
the combat ground of Castle Blue, fending foes off, destroying ancient deities
as if they were merely children in
the world of combat, and went from a Creation to a HeroQuester to a Godling.
When the Goddess departed
the Mundane World to take her place in the Mythical World, her replacement was
the Red Emperor. He was
known as Takenegi, which means "Ruler of the Egi", although this is not his
name.
The Red Emperor was installed as the Head of virtually all Lunar relgions, the
polipotenary of the Goddess
herself, and the embodiment of the Lunar Way. The Dara Happan Emperor,
Yelmgatha, was a personal friend
of both the Red Emperor and the Red Goddess. As time progressed, Yelmgatha
asked the Red Emperor to
take the Ten Tests so that he could become the Ruler of the Dara Happan Empire
as well as the Lunar Way.
The Red Emperor refused, knowing that he had no relation to the Emperor, until
it was relvealed that his mother
was in fact the grand-daughter of the Red Goddess!! He afterwards suceeded in
the Ten Tests and Yelmgatha
ruled alongside him as joint rulers of the Empire. When Yelmgatha died, the Red
Emperor ruled personally.
His acts included, the naming of the Four Quarters of the Empire, the birth of
Yara Aranis, the ownership of the
Empire, his steed is the Crimson Bat itself and many, many more. Other godlings
are the responsibility of this
promiscuous demigod, he has many concubines and has had many wives (and one or
two husbands) and thusly
has various legitimate and illegitimate children living throughout the Empire,
often in Teelo Norri orphanages.
When the Red Emperor died, he returned (much to everyones suprise), and always
has done so, thus proving
his divinity. However, in 3/20 Sheng Seleris caused much carnage in the Empire,
before travelling to the Moon,
and killing many of the Egi. Ever since, the Egi have been subject to mortality
as the original immortals are
dead. The new Egi are selected from the Examiners of the Red Goddess' cult. He
has changed both physical
and spiritual form ever since that day. He later returned and slew Sheng
Seleris, trapping him in Lunar Hell
which resides outside the known Cosmos.
Many people speak that the Red Emperor is failing in his tasks as the Red
Goddess' apostle, and that was why
the Great Sister was sent to the Earth to speak for her. This is, of course,
merely heretical rumour.
Members of the Red Emperor's cult are buried with full military and magical
honours, paid for fully by the cult, in
normaly Lunar custom. They are awarded the greatest positions of power on the
Red Moon when they die.
His Runes are Lunar, Mastery and Magic.

culte de Moonson Imperator)
Ne me demande pas l'adresse ou je l'ai trouve, je ne sais plus :-( Peut etre
en faisant une recherche par un bon moteur...
