The Lord of Death, Salinger, became one of the biggest winners of the War of the Four Emperors by cleverly waiting in the shadows before striking a deadly alliance with the Primordial Demoness to claim the Red Priest Uniqueness and attempt to create a brand new Great Old One pathway.
This video covers Part 4 of Salinger’s story — his ruthless participation in the War of the Four Emperors and his rise as a Half Great Old One:
4th Epoch, Year 1046-1052 (War of the Four Emperors)
Salinger, as Sequence 0 Lord of Death and ruler of the Balam Empire, becomes one of the four main emperors fighting in the war
Fights alongside Solomon (Black Emperor), Trunsoest (Night Emperor), and Alista Tudor (Blood Emperor)
Joins purely for personal gain — his goal is to steal the Red Priest Uniqueness from Tudor
Plans to merge Death and Red Priest authorities to create a new Great Old One pathway, bypassing the fatal weakness of fighting alone
Key Moments During the War
Salinger’s son, Azik Eggers, once looked at Tudor on the battlefield and instantly lost consciousness from the Blood Emperor’s mere glance
For most of the war, Salinger holds back, patiently watching and waiting for the perfect moment
The Decisive Year 1052

Tudor’s capital city sinks underground forever
The Greatest Prize
