The former emperor of the Kijaand Empire, Zalvic Koraka Kyzlbil Vorsavich Fesalan Derivant, is an exceptional member of his race, both for his apparent age (which is rumoured to be well over two millennia) and his tolerance for the short lived races.

His 20 year reign can be characterised by almost no activism, bordering on neglect. He almost never pushed Tal'Zalvic interests and kept the size of Imperial Legion at the bare minimum required to maintain the security along the frontiers. His hands off policies encouraged many Houses to attempt to advance their standing and as a result the general level of conflict was relatively high, but no major wars occurred during his tenure. But for a series of assissinations prior to his reign it is unlikely he would have gained the throne but Tal'Zalvic would have lost the throne, and any real hope of power, without quickly nominating one of its member so he was given the imperial crown. However he never had more than muted support from Tal'Zalvic and it was always assumed that Tal'Zalvic were planning on replacing him once a more suitable person was ready.

He was last seen being killed by a group of assassins but as his body disappeared soon afterward many consider that assassination to have faked. However it is now the lack of a body, living or otherwise, which has caused most trouble, for the Church of Shahdad has categorically declared that he is not dead, although they will not say if he did die.

A large reward is currently on offer from the Imperial government for information about his death, purportedly for helping bring the assassins to justice, but many feel it is to hunt him down and finally lay him to rest for good. The continuing rumours of missing artefacts and ascended agencies are never officially denied but such rumours are often traced and silenced.
