Harem Dynamics!

If there is one thing that all monarchies of the Purple Dawn have in common, it is the value of the purple. Purple is the color of kings, in theory reserved for the ruler. And so just like the Tyrian purple popularized on Earth by the Roman and Byzantine Emperors, when Odoacer established the Great Blood Empire, he received the Purple Mantle from the Weaver, on that day proclaiming himself…the King of Kings.

The subsequent emperors preserved the mantle, passing it down from one ruler to the next. And even after the Empire's collapse, the remnants of the Hadu kept it safe, waiting for the day one worthy to shoulder its powers would arise to inherit it at last.

But if the Purple Mantle was that easy to shoulder, its legend wouldn't have outlasted the Empire. Only Superior Beings of the Hadu bloodline could awaken the mantle's powers—making it useless in the Uriah's hands.
