[Dragaera] Reborn Phoenix

[Scott Crain]

Actually, I'd reverse that -- if the Phoenix portion of a cycle goes through more than one emperor, the first ones are always reborn Phoenixes.  If a Phoenix became decadent, it would always end a Phoenix reign -- because then the Dragons would take over.  A reborn Phoenix may or may not end a Phoenix reign; they might resign in favor of one of their own House or, as in Zerika IV's case, in favor of the Dragon Heir.  (Of course, there being no other Phoenixes, Zerika can't well abdicate in favor of one of her own house ...)

Remember -- a reborn Phoenix is one who gets out before he or she starts making the bad decisions that are a hallmark of the decadent Phoenix...
