“Empires are not inherited. They are seized, by blood, by will, or by fire.” — Emperor Ardeshir IV, before the Fever Years
The Virisoth Empire is dying, and so is the man who forged it. Emperor Ardeshir IV, once called The Lion of the Burning Throne, lies wasting away, his iron grip loosened by an incurable affliction. For over thirty years, he ruled with unmatched brilliance and brutality, holding gods and nobles alike in check. Now, as his mind fades and his body fails, the court he once commanded turns inward, teeth bared, daggers drawn.
Whispers of succession echo through marble halls. His son, Prince Alaric, is untested and idealistic, more a poet than a ruler, some say. Others wonder if he’ll survive long enough to be either.
Old debts are coming due. Secret orders stir. Magic long banished from the capital flickers once again behind locked doors. Some would preserve the emperor’s legacy. Others would erase it, and the bloodline with it.
And somewhere in the palace, the Emperor still watches, still plots… Because even in the throes of death, a lion can still bite.

đź‘‘ What to Expect:
• A crumbling empire where power and influence are the only currencies that truly matter
• An aging dying emperor who still casts a long, dangerous shadow
• Noble rivalries, ancient grudges, forbidden romance, and treacherous alliances
• Player driven storytelling that will shape not just the royal court, but the empire itself
• High stakes duels, political assassinations, and social warfare
• Heavy roleplay, character driven drama, and long form narrative arcs

🎠I’m seeking dedicated players who want to dive deep into character, court intrigue, and the slow unraveling (or salvation) of an empire.
If you’re interested please message me on discord: rerising49
I’ll be thorough and very patient when it comes to finding the right players for this campaign!
And again, this campaign is Biweekly (once every two weeks)
I believe time zones may be a problem (so few users on here are from Denmark), but another concern is: How would you feel about a kenku on your team?

Blanket disclaimer: I only ever state opinion. But I can sound terribly dogmatic - so if you feel I'm trying to tell you what to think, I'm really not, I swear. I'm telling you what I think, that's all.
