The Empire
Lying at the heart of the Old World, the Empire is the greatest and most powerful of all the kingdoms forged by men. But it is a realm in constant turmoil, both from enemies without and strife from within as rival Elector Counts vie for the throne. Whether fighting between themselves or the many exterior invaders, the greatest nation of man can muster a formidable army of disciplined warriors, magic, steam-powered wonders and menageries of fantastical beasts.
Now, the Twin-Tailed Comet blazes across the sky once again and a new Emperor has been crowned – surely an omen that the time has come to unite the Empire, secure its borders and bring prosperity to its beleaguered citizens.
