A long time ago, there were five strong empires who had tired of battling one another and realized that they had far more in common than they had been aware of up until that point. And so, the five emperors married their children to each other, creating a super imperial line called the Sukhal Line. When the new family had become quite established, the emperors picked a favorite from among them and set him above all others, save for themselves. Three emperors to stop him, four to remove him, and five to set things right. However, as time continued on, their glorious super empire began to fall prey to corruption. Their descendants took for granted the sacrifices and efforts that their ancestors had put into creating the world they knew. While they became complacent, deluding themselves that none could rival them, and that they could act with impunity, things were beginning to crumble, even during the time all refer to as The Golden Age. A time of great exploration and advancement in every function. However, it happened one day, the Atlantians vanished, save for a couple races. The Sukhan and Sutra, his bride, did not care enough to seek out why this had happened. Time continued on and the people lived in their foolish stupor, ignorant to the wearing away of their society due to their decadence and building cruelty. The ideal was replaced by a gilded dystopia. Most of those in power could not care less, but three of the Emperors, Gred Emperor Lau Feng The Wise, Grec Emperor Grey Hawk The Great, and Fedison Emperor Timloc The Medicine Man tried their best to censure their Sukhan's decadent abuse of the system, and continuous bleeding out of the economy for his wild schemes and over indulgent parties. By this point things had gotten so bad that he disregarded how the checks and balances were set into place. His greed and exceptional cruelty was comparable to the Roman Emperor Caligula. The Dromea Emperor by this point decided to abandon his allies, bringing the Dragons away, claiming that all of their eggs were stolen. As a thief in the night, the Fofaf Empire was invaded by all of their enemies at once, as though they had orchestrated this some how. This is often remembered as The Great Disaster, though it was a war that lasted some fifty years. Flash forward almost two hundred years, and we are in an age where the Empires are reuniting and many of the thrones are left void or filled by pretenders. Only a few have managed to remain in their hereditary rule. Others have resorted to some more democratic approaches to their leadership. That is where you come in. Explore the vast world, avoid or confront dangers, find your niche in the world, and maybe become something great.
