Imperium
Imperium has entered a new golden age....
Imperium is a blessed place. A new age has dawned, led by the apostles of
Etreus, God of Love and Father of Light. By His grace, food and wine flow freely, the mines yield bountiful riches, and life has become endless in a new golden age.
In this world,
the Apostles hold great power -- they command tremendous magic, bestowed upon them by the Father himself. They can move mountains, command seas, and resurrect the dead. It is under their guidance that this city has been reborn anew.
The Returned
Within the walls of Imperium, death is but a temporary state and is seen as a transitory stage into enlightenment.
Those who are resurrected -- known as
the Returned undergo a spiritual transformation that leaves them contemplative, serene, and deeply compassionate. The Returned are a blessing to their loved ones and to their communities. Having experienced the divine realm during their time between life and death, they are living conduits of Etreus' divine grace. Their connection to the divine leads them to become bastions of hope, love, and charity in their second lives.
A Looming Darkness
Amidst the unending prosperity of Imperium, a shadowy figure -- an enigmatic villain -- harbors a deep-seated hatred for the divine order. Known only to the public as
Malachi, this sinister antagonist's vendetta against the apostles of Etreus threatens to plunge the utopia of Imperium into suffocating darkness.
