Magnus I was the second son of Rhaedestus and the brother of Telthis I. He succeeded his brother, as his brother left no issue. Magnus was, by all accounts, a gluttonous emperor. He cared little for the management of his empire, leaving that to trusted advisors. Magnus far preferred to spend his time hunting and revelling. ==Appearance== Magnus was a large, jovial man. In stark contrast to his brother and father, Magnus did not possess the stern features of either of them, and instead had a look of good-naturedness about him most of the time.
History[]
After his ascension in 47 A.R., Magnus engaged in numerous pleasures and left the governance of the realm to a select few trusted individuals. His reign was unremarkable, but is perhaps best remembered for the rise in corruption in the imperial establishment. Perhaps ironically, Magnus died while hosting a large feast, choking to death in front of his guests who looked helplessly onward. He died at the age of 54 and was succeded by his son, Magnus II.
