Isis Arepo Ilethian, heir of Dulinor

[ldadams122000]

Does anyone know what happened to Isis Dulinor during and after the Rebellion?

 

[McPerth]

The only TNS I remember about her is surviving an attack on a spaceport.

I was always amazed that in the adventure of the Imperiun Tour that was on Capital it was specified that Isis must survive, as it would have importance in latter events in Imperium, but that never showed up...

I saw it as one more proof that the first intent about how Rebellion ended was not the Virus, but an entirely different outcome.

That would be Isis, daughter of Dulinor, a.k.a. Isis Arepo Ilethian. Dulinor is the Archduke's personal name.

No, I don't think I've ever seen that mentioned anywhere.

Dulinor's last appearance was in a TNS report dated 243-1130, reporting his death at the hands of a Virus-infected combine on Gakhu/Ilelish (2607 C474756-A/Amber in the Rebellion era).

It appeared in Challenge issue 69, and included the line "Dulinor never officially designated an heir to his position as Emperor, although it is known that his daughter Isis was in line to succeed him as Archduke."

It never states it definitively, but it's implied that Isis was home running the store as Dulinor made a last grasp for Capital. So you could have her swept away by the Virus, or one jump ahead of it, racing for that emergency redoubt in a classified Great Rift refueling station.

Yeah, what might have been...

Of course, maybe she's sitting in a cold berth someplace, waiting to be woken up.

D.

 

[savage]

Or Lucan, the Aware, turned her into his research lab pet.

 

[ldadams122000]

Thanks for the answer guys. I was wondering if there was a book that I did not have that told her fate.

Perhaps a DGP article, but I don't recall one.

Is there anything in the TNE:1248 background material? (I don't remember off hand).

Just re-read it and don't recall seeing her. Might be worth a search. That sort of thing was the purpose of 1248.

These are the only references I could find in the TNE:1248 material.

TNE:1248: Sourcebook #1: Out of the Darkness p.22, 25:

Plagued by mysterious systems failures aboard his warships, Dulinor accepted that he could not reach Capital with what remained of his force. Turning for home, his fleet limped back across the Wilds, losing ships all the way, until eventually it reached friendly space. Dulinor’s flagship Clarion crash-landed on Gakhu in Ilelish sector. Emerging from the semi-wreck to address a crowd that had gathered, Dulinor was killed by a harvesting combine that, though unoccupied, rolled forward and dismembered him with its blades.

Mysterious ‘computers and electronic equipment gone berserk’ incidents continued over the next few days as the forces of Ilelish, now commanded by Dulinor’s daughter Isis, began to go over to a defensive posture. However, events were already beyond the control of any leader or government. The war was more or less over.

But the massacre was just beginning.

The Viral Plague was released along a line from Dlan to Core, almost straight through the middle of the Ilelish faction. With no natural barriers and no immunity, Ilelish was hammered flat in a matter of weeks. The region suffered particularly badly at the hands of rogue warships from the Coronation Fleet and other naval forces they encountered. The Virus was first released and grew in Ilelish vessels; it was optimized to attack their systems and knew their procedures.

The provisional administration under Archduchess Isis went down before it could organize any sort of resistance, and other major population centers went the same way. An enclave around Tripolis/Verge held out for a few years but by 1145 there was little if anything left of the Domain of Ilelish. Major population centers and industrial worlds were reduced to rubble. Lesser systems were picked over by empire-building Vampire ships seeking slaves and spares to increase their power. Several worlds fell under the sway of these Viral imperialists, and resistance was trivial.

For most of the period 1145-95, Ilelish was a battleground for Vampire fleets, with humans and other organics clinging to a precarious existence as slaves or simply keeping their heads down. The history of Ilelish up to and during the Recovery Period is one of grinding tragedy and suffering.

TNE:1248: Sourcebook #1: Out of the Darkness p.22, 25:

Yeah. Illesh was pounded. There are certain worlds that should have been left lifeless. Illesh is my top pick. There is a DGP on"In defense of Dulinor". It might be worth a read.

I never liked the comments about defenseless. That seems incompetent. Vland had the second best plan, and Norris the best.

 

[whulorigan]

I would think that Dlan would be a better top pick than Ilelish, as it was the Capital of the Domain. The world Ilelish was merely the Suerrat homeworld, and had not been the Capital of the Domain for over 600 years (since the Ilelish revolt in the 400's).

And as a Human home world, it would take a lot of work to render it completely uninhabitable. Add in the Suerrat talents for life support and biospheres in general, and Ilelish probably survives in some form. Alone, primitive, and afraid to show lights at night, but alive.

I have Out of the Darkness, that was the only reference that I could find. I have the New Era cds and the Mega Traveller cd, I could not find much information about her other than what has been published for GURPS Traveller.

Yes, of course you're correct. I actually meant the sector. After the fall of Dulinor and the appetite of Virus, the entire sector would have been scorched. Dlan would be worst of all.

I was reading through the DGP assassination adventure last night. Putting Isis in the middle of the players and the group on the end of the assassination.

Dulinor cared for his wife. Later in 1248 history, Iris is placed archduchess...:CoW:

Who we're the bad people that surrounded Dulinor. I think this wife might have been the root of the problem, perhaps a couple other nobles in the inner circle of Dulinor. Stephon liked Dulinor and promoted him. then bam bam bam...

Oh, it'll be horrible all around. Ilelish Sector has three-quarters of a trillion people at its peak. There are eleven other worlds with the same or larger populations as Dlan (30 billion), and quite a few more than that with populations in the mere billions.

All the Rebellion is horrible in its loss of life...

About Iris, maybe the unpublished The Black Duke would have answered the OP question. I'm afraid we will not know (at least any time soon) ...

 

[rancke]

Please! Make it stop!

Would some kindly moderator consider changing the title of this thread to either 'Isis, daughter of Dulinor' (closest to the original) or 'Isis Arepo Ilethian' (the correct name)? It jars me like Chinese Water Torture waterdrops every time I see it.

Yeah. Mutual assured destruction. Isis and Dulinor on a path of complete destruction. That could lead to interesting plot twists. Good Moot poll actually.

The safest place in the Imperium actually. Aslans are allies, and every superpower has at least 1 archduke between Dulinor and them.


INS paid for advertisement "Move to Illesh Sector, the safest place in the Imperium". oooppps...

We all know Stephon, Iolanthe, Iphegenia and even Dulinor but here is a bit more about the rest of the cast in TD09, Knightfall on Capital & Lion at Bay:
Dulinor, Archduke of Ilelish (a religious dictator) - cares for his wife (or we should call him Darth Vader)
Jessica, Archduchess of Ilelish - from a noble family
Lady Isis (Archduchess) - 15 yr old daughter of Jessica and Dulinor, friends with Iphegenia born on the same day, wears black as many of Dlan, named for an ancient Terran goddess of motherhood, nature and magic.


So, Lady Isis was beautiful and had a noble life, but is not highly educated at 15.
Is there a missing son perhaps in another noble house (like Lucan, for example)
Is anyone psionic? A perfect excuse to kill the Emperor and why someone thought they had an edge.

There is no discussion of a Dulinor mentor beyond Stephon. Or how well Lucan knows Dulinor, etc. Yet, Dulinor guns down Iphegenia, Isis' best friend. And she's ok with it?
