In time, the Rigelian throne was ascended by Emperor [[Rudolf]], who sought to put an end to the corruption of the gods.  He entrusted his infant son [[Alm|Albyne]] to General [[Mycen]] of Zofia, imprisoned Mila within the [[Falchion (Valentia)|Falchion]] with Duma's insistence, then launched an invasion of Zofia: thus, he positioned himself as an antagonist, seeking to incite the rise of heroes capable of unifying Valentia.<ref>{{Cite|It was due to the gods that this land Valentia came to be divided into North and South.

It was due to such considerations that Rudolf took it upon himself to become a destroyer, to instigate the appearance of true heroes in the land.
