Exactly it. ^^ The Emperor is the all-work and no-play type of person who has the incredible brain power, even by Ae'ani standards, needed to oversee the empire- the guy isn't even awakened.

As for what you said about Scrios, put a spoiler tag on it! :P I've been dancing around exactly what you've just said for some time now until I've finished Scrios' page. It's what I was hinting at when I said "flawed at a deeper level." ^^; Filicia has this omnibenevolent image, one which everybody, especially the Ae'ani, believe in. Scrios represents a part of Filicia that would shatter that view if they ever put two-and-two together, and come to understand the deeper connections between Psychena and Filicia.

So far, some Ae'ani believe that Scrios calls into question the near-perfect state of the psychena as a race, which could itself call into question Filicia (the Ae'ani that follow this train of thought agree free will is probably the cause, which has lead to darker beliefs in one sect of the Ae'ani). Noone in the Lumiverse is yet to understand what Scrios really represents though. (Well, except Minerva, but that's a whole other kettle of fish.)

You've seen right through me though! ^^
