Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 5426468" data-attributes="member: 52734">Another stab at an opening, more focused on the empire - but still too long-winded, I fear.[sblock] Eth’Aurthurum – the Eternal empire - .  It is also known as the Crimson empire, so named for the blood spilled by its own people – or the blood of its enemies it has spilled - to keep it standing.    Once a fertile, growing kingdom ruled by a god-emperor known as Hameru, it has been reduced to a handful of walled cities amid a vast desert filled with dangerous reptiles known and feared as dinosaurs. [FONT=&quot]Only the bravest or foolish of caravans dare tarry outside the city walls.[/FONT]   Within the walled fortress-cities of the empire the descendants of the great children of Hameru have formed powerful lineages that control their citizens with an iron rule.  Ancient laws that were erected to serve and save the people have become a yoke about their neck, enslaving the populace in duties inherited to them from their forefathers.  All of humanity knows their place in the great castes erected long ago by Hameru himself.  Yet, rulership cannot be doled out to all the descendants of these great families, and it is from these legendary bloodlines that arise dilettantes, heroes and villains – and you.  Prepare to tread the desert sands of the empire and beyond in your quest for treasure, power, trade and allies.  What blood will you spill for the continuation of the empire – or for yourself?  [/sblock]</blockquote>
