An excerpt from the Warden's Journal
First entryThe Dark Empire. As of today, the name once again shall be said with pride by those that belong to it, amazement by those that know it, and fear by those that are against it.
When I was first tasked with managing the Empire, I could hardly believe I would ever be up to the task. Now, I feel more confident than ever. The Inner Council has advised me wisely. It was not easy to restore order after the reign of the Houses of Greenmoon and Goldsmith had left our Empire filled with corruption and inefficiency. It was a hard, laborous task to remove the festerous limbs from our body, but nonetheless, we finally stand healthy again.
Our ranks are full of talent once more, not void husks that leech off our wealth and reputation. Captain Suno Regin of the Imperial Guard, Overlord of the Steel Force. Recently returned from a long assigment and quite experienced and skilled. Primatus of House Galeranson, Overlord of the Arcane Force, a most promising young mage. Jilate Rerek, Overlord of the Shadow Force, rarely seen, but quite often not by her absence. And myself as Warden and temporary Overlord of the Imperial Trades. We are truly set for whatever we might face,
Second entryIn recognition of our superiority, the Rangers of Yliakum have decided to bow to our might and assimilate into our ranks. Their members shall serve the Empire and their assets shall become ours.
I would surely say this is a good omen to finally announce my upcoming coronation as Empress.
