There are few, if any, who know the true identity of the Dragon Emperor – his past is shrouded in mystery, and those who speak too openly of him often vanish. In truth, the Dragon Emperor is the greatest of all the Easterlings, ruling the lands and people of Rhûn with an iron fist. It was under the Dragon Emperor’s command that Amdûr founded the Order of the Black Dragons, a warrior cult dedicated to their liege – their sole purpose to carry out his will. When Sauron commanded that the Easterlings wage war upon the north, the Dragon Emperor himself led them into battle standing upon his Royal Palanquin. From atop this mighty structure he wields an exquisite glaive, and it is said that he has never once been bested in a duel.

This multipart resin kit builds one Dragon Emperor atop his Royal Palanquin with a coterie of six Black Dragon bearers, as well as one separate Dragon Emperor on foot. This Hero of Legend grants massive benefits to all nearby Easterlings, who fight all the harder in the presence of their ruler. If you’re planning to mount an Easterling invasion of the northern lands, you’ll want the Dragon Emperor leading it.
