Po

Po was an emperor somewhere in Kara-Tur in the mid–14 century DR.

History
At first, Po's favorite nephew was Hai Chi, who was even considered a candidate to succeed him when he died. After nearly a decade, however, word of Hai Chi's crimes and tyranny—including bashing his wife Shichi No Ken and murdering their child—came to the attention of his father and his uncle the emperor, and they were compelled to bring him to justice. Po sent his soldiers to apprehend Hai Chi and his men as he attacked the Seven Roses Monastery in Pe Nok to kill Shichi and the monks, but they found she had slain him. Emperor Po and Hai Chi's father were even grateful: she had saved them the need for a shameful trial and public execution.

Background
Being invented for Encyclopedia Magica Volume IV with mostly unconnected lore, it is unknown where in Kara-Tur and when in Kara-Turan history that Emperor Po reigned. Pe Nok (where Emperor Po apparently has power) is in T'u Lung, supporting that empire. However, none of T'u Lung's known emperors are named "Po". While it's possible Po reigned centuries earlier, perhaps while Pe Nok and T'u Lung were still part of Shou Lung, the use of present tense and provided stats for Shichi imply she is contemporary with other Realmslore, and alive in the 1360s DR. It is possible that Po reigned in one of the other smaller, undetailed nations of Kara-Tur, such as the Warring States, or that Po reigned in T'u Lung after all, succeeding Wai Gada Sinzu (eighth emperor as of 1357 DR) and preceding Wai Yong (tenth emperor by 1375 DR).
