The year is 408/3 AI. In the years following the disappearance of Emperor Ahmed Thrakul, the newly founded Achaemenid Empire already finds itself on the verge of civil war. Forced into a role he was never suited, Muhar Thrakul tries to hold the hold his brother’s dominion together against Kyn warlords in the west, Dragon Lords in the south, and the Golden Legions of Harikiran the Great in the east.
Faced with enemies on all sides, Emperor Muhar sees enemies in every shadow. The Kuliyat al'Asrar, the College of Secrets, once to be the center of academic study in the Empire, has instead been turned into his secret police. This sorcerous group of inquisitors seek out and put an end to any sign of dissent in his domain.
Whether you have sinned, or merely stood up for what you thought was right in the face of this new tyrannical regime, they have rounded you up, stripped you of any wealth and power you possessed, and left you bound in the northern deserts of Jhanin to die alone.
But you won’t let that be the end…will you?
