The Empire held the reigns of absolute power in the land for many years. One fateful day the Emperor departed from the capitol with his retinue but never returned. This event created a massive power vacuum and the entire kingdom was suddenly thrust into chaos. Lords, religious zealots, and long-suppressed factions quickly rose up to take advantage of the confusion. Three major factions emerged from the fires of the conflict; the Rebels, the Imperial Remnants, and the Common Folk. With all three of these factions battling for survival, this conflict has no clear end in sight.
