====== The Empty Throne ======
{{ :campaign:the_empty_throne.png?nolink&400 |}}

//“The High God is gone. The Celestial Throne stands empty. Empires fracture, faith falters, and prophecy whispers that mortal hands must decide the fate of heaven and earth.”//

Centuries of divine order have ended overnight. The Emperor—chosen by mandate of the gods—lies dead without an heir. The **Celestial Throne**, seat of divine authority, manifests as a staircase of light above the capital, but no one can claim it without the **Five Sovereign Seals**:

  * **Crown of Stars** → Authority and rightful sovereignty,
  * **Scepter of Oaths** → Law, justice, and accountability,
  * **Chalice of Concord** → Consent and unity,
  * **Mantle of the Silent Judge** → Impartial judgment and truth,
  * **Orb of the First Dawn** → Renewal and hope for a new era,
Now, **seven factions** vie for power: loyalist dukes, zealous priests, merchant princes, storm-born clans led by a demigod, shadowy spymasters, and a blood-prophecy cult that seeks to crown a god by force. Armies gather. Assassins strike. Treaties are signed in ink—and broken in blood.

You are not mere adventurers. You are **chosen arbiters of destiny**, courted by kings and hunted by cults. Your choices will decide:

  * Who rules when gods fall silent?
  * Will you crown a mortal sovereign, endorse a demigod, ascend yourselves, or shatter the Throne forever?
  * What price will you pay for peace—or power?
Expect **political intrigue, mythic relic quests, horror** and **epic battles** where words can weigh as much as swords. Every alliance matters. Every oath binds. And every broken promise feeds the darkness rising beyond the stars.
