Tributus was an Emperor fairly early in Massina history. He was the one responsible for sanctioning and then dismantling the House of the World, which splintered into the four elemental Houses: Fire, Air, Mountain and Water.[1] Although he did not kill Gaia himself, he was heavily responsible for her death.
Tributus demonstrated a ruthless political acumen and a penchant for theatrics. He felt the popularity of the House of the World was a threat to his rule. In his estimation any unification of Houses would work against the power of the Emperor. Many Emperors followed in his stead, sowing seeds of dissension among the Houses and Guilds to maintain their grip on authority over Massina.
“Mercenary Champions from the House of Death stormed the House of the World and killed everyone inside. Beautiful Gaia was grabbed by a Whisperer, flown up to the highest tower of the Palace, and dropped onto the cobblestone streets.”
She seemed lost in a soft moment, then her face turned hard with scorn. “Emperor Tributus always enjoyed a poetic flourish.”
