Breaking News:Taeyang the Great is deadEarlier this morning, The Imperial Palace announces the passing of Taeyang the Great,the great leader and mother of Dankuk’s current empress Yoon Jin. She was 103 years old.
The Imperial Palace relaxed this statement:
Dear citizens and interested persons of Empire:
At 0700 Imperial Standard Time, it was discovered that Her Imperial Majesty's mother, Taeyang Sang-ah, has vanished without a trace. According to her personal secretary, she has "transitioned to the realm of the Kami and It is expected that she return to this plane of existence when she deems appropriate-possibly in her next incarnation". Taeyang Sang-ah was 103.
The Empress was born in 4277 in a time of great turbulence within Dankuk-with the demise of the Juche Regime and the revival of the Ryeo Dynasty, her family largely lived dedicated to the Shrine, largely staying out of the limelight, Taeyang herself(known as Mok Sang-ah at the time-Taeyang being a ceremonial title conferred upon assumption of the position of High Priestess of Sindo)focused on training to be a Shrine Priestess. Unfortunately for Taeyang, the PresidentHong Seon-Ki- launched a coup d'état in which the Ryeo were deposed and began a most dark time in Kyo history and eventually, in the year 4297, declared himself "God-Emperor" and representatives of the old Monarchic lines were persecuted if they didn't surrender their claims to Hong-Taeyang's own Parents were Imprisoned by the Tyrant. Taeyang herself, though merely 20 years old, was in a different part of the country at the time of the imprisonment and became the center of supporters of opposition to President Hong within Dankuk. Using family fortune she was able to build an army to fight the Tyrannical Emperor and in October, in coalition with democratic and Ryeo forces, overthrew the Tyrant and established a Provisional Government, who elected her President. At this point in time she tried to negotiate with the other factions within Dankuk, but old rivalries persisted with the Ryeo Clan, which eventually involved foreign Leftist powers-such as the Republic of Yingdala-a government which the Empire has recognized as illegitimate due to the dishonorable way the Wu clan was deposed. Around the Year 4308 evidence came to light that the Ryeo had betrayed the Kyo nation by giving vital intelligence to the Yingdalan Government, and the Imperial Senate voted to remove Choesun V from the throne and Taeyang Sang-ah was installed as Empress. The Ryeo family subsequently evaded authorities, who were authorized to detain the royal family to determine their fate later in a trial. Choesun V would eventually die of Cardiac complications and the rest of his family were airlifted to Yingdala. Over the Years the Empress began projects to build up the Empire, building infrastructure, researching nuclear technology, and joining a worldwide coalition to overthrow the genocidal government in Hulstria. At some point though, residual leftist forces commandeered Parliament around 4316 to dethrone Empress, though her supporters never wavered in their support, and with pressure, finally managed to undo the Left-wing decree and recognize the legitimacy of Taeyang in 4228. After this her reign was filled with massive domestic reforms,like legalizing homosexual marriage and marijuana. She officially handed off rule to her daughter in 4347 and lived the rest of her days as a private citizen traveling the world.
The funeral will be held on June 21st,4381
