| Despite his advanced age, Cephorus remained busy in his last years. While he had slowed down and adopted a more sedate pace since his 80th birthday, the emperor maintained a consistent schedule and attended to daily business as he always had, meeting with his council and handling the daily papers and reports.
| |
| | |
| Following a custom he had established early in his reign, Cephorus traveled to Portivorno House on the Isle of Galinara, on 8-1-7637, where he intended to remain until just after the new year. As always, he kept in contact with his ministers and continued to transact important affairs. His last official business occurred on 8-12-7637, one week before his death, when he received the president at Portivorno House for a working lunch. Much of the family would arrive throughout the following week.

| Cephorus was found dead in his bed at 0730 hours on 8-16-7637 by his valet, Giancarlo Coletti, when coming in to help him get dressed and finding the normally punctual emperor was still in bed. He had passed peacefully in his sleep during the early hours of that morning. The family was quietly informed, and a coded phone call to Veneziano Palace was made to inform them of what had happened. A public announcement was made at 1130 hours. Shortly prior to the announcement, black fabric was draped over the Golden Lion Throne and the Tentenal outside the palace donned black ribbons of mourning pinned to their tunics.
| |
| | |
| Crown Prince Torian, having remained near to his grandfather throughout his last few years, was in residence at Portivorno when Cephorus died, and was notified of what had happened before any other member of the family. In keeping with tradition, he was quietly acknowledged as the new Dynast Emperor by the members of staff present. The Lord Chamberlain arrived a few hours later and formally recognised Torian as emperor and took possession of Cephorus' signet ring until preparations for his funeral were complete.

| The emperor's body was transported back to Cedelphia aboard the Imperial train and lay in state in Exemplar Bartolomeo Cathedral for three days, guarded by two squadrons of Tentenal. On the fourth day, a service of remembrance was held, before the Imperial train again ferried the emperor's body across Auresia to Epoxague, where a second lying in state took place for one day prior to a private family service. Following this service, Cephorus' body was placed inside the tomb built for him in the chapel of the Scarlet Cathedral - one of only three dynast sovereigns to be so interred - alongside his beloved wife, who had died four year earlier.

| * His Imperial style in full was, "His Most Excellent and Discerning Sovereign Imperial Majesty Cephorus IV Maximus, by the Grace of Vind the Highest, Dynast Emperor of the Auresians, Father of the Nation, Fount of Honour, Defender of the Law, Custodian of the Five Sacred Shrines."
| |
| * His reign of 70 years, 4 months and 22 days is the longest in both Auresian and Anarian history.
| |
| * He was married to Orosea Eshiala Filomeno, the youngest child of the Baron of Angrogna, from 5-9-7555 until her death on 7-4-7633. Their marriage, lasting 78 years, is one of the longest of any royal couple in history. Empress Orosea is simultaneously the longest-serving empress consort in both Auresian and Anarian history.
| |
| * At his passing, Cephorus was survived by five children, nineteen grandchildren, twenty-six great grandchildren, and four great great grandchildren.
| |
| * He outlived all three of his younger brothers.
