As loyalty turns to blades and oaths shatter amidst conspiracy, the embers of the Ashridge Empire are reignited by the fires of war.

The shadow of Emperor Sariel’s bathtub drowning still lingers, yet a new storm has descended.

In the vortex of crumbling power, once unbreakable bonds are ruthlessly torn asunder.

The prince stands amidst the ruins of love and duty, finding each step towards the throne stained crimson with betrayal. War drums thunder, iron hooves shatter the illusion of peace, the dream of a golden age splintered amidst sword and shadow.

As the lines between loyalty and treason blur, and fragments of truth lie scattered on war-scorched earth, the survivors must piece together history’s puzzle.

They face not only cold Non-Human enemies but also the deepest darkness and choices within:

Can they, navigating a thicket of betrayal and the meat grinder of war, unearth the lost truth and rekindle the final spark of hope?

Or will the entire empire, upon this ruin built of lies and ambition, succumb to utter, eternal darkness?
