Imperial City
Collection
“The empire is an oppressive place. The nobles claim divine ancestry and it has really gone to their heads. Cruel and distrustful they are. It is a bad place to travel and a worse place to live in: Brutal officers and guards police everything. Informers snitch on the slightest hint of opposition. The wealthy keep plenty of slaves with all the horrors that come with that. Terrible punishments are dealt out for “crimes” against the persisting order. War is considered the usual means to achieve greedy goals. Corruption is rampant. Their ways are reflected in their architecture. The nobles live in decadent palaces, their soldiers man powerful fortresses and the normal citizens lock themselves away into privacy. Best way for a lowly one to exist in the empire is unseen and unheard.”
