John Owyn, also known as John III (Common: John Owyn; High Imperial: Johannes Ovenius; Savoyard: Johann Eugenio; Hansetian: Jan Owain) (2nd of the Sun's Smile, 1549 – 15th of Malin's Welcome, 1585), of the House of Horen, was the third Holy Orenian Emperor of the restored Fifth Empire since the abdication of his father, John II, in 1568. Under his reign, he remarkably finished a majority of the conquests of his grandsire, bringing both the human rebels and orcs to heel in the War of Orcish Submission and led a reign of subsequent peace. His untimely death at the hands of High Elven assassins, however, would cause a great rift within the Empire and see all three of his sons upon the Imperial Throne. He is commonly known as the Lion for his skill in both warfare and in the diplomatic table, heralded as one of the greater Johannian emperors since John I.
