Everything in the universe as mortals understand it emanates from immortal incarnations known as Imperators (all true gods, angels, devils, and many stranger things), so that in a very real sense the Imperator of Pride and Persuasion is all pride and persuasion, and without him no one could ever feel pride or be persuaded by arguments; but while he still lives those lesser creatures chosen to be his champions, the titular Nobles, may bestow or transmute or withdraw the pride in a man's head or heart as they will, just as they are obligated to defend pride in specific and reality in general against the hordes of nothingness from beyond the edge of existence. Everything is alive, and that's not a metaphor. Everything is someone.The overarching cosmology is rather simple, actually, once the players get their heads around some of its basic concepts.</blockquote>
