Welcome to Empire
The Empire of Adana has existed for six hundred years. The imperial house exerts only loose control over its major vassals and the empire much resembles a broad confederation or alliance. For most, that has meant six centuries of relative peace after the cataclysmic Third Greytide. The empire's neighbours have rarely been able to challenge it openly, but the imperial frontier is far from safe.
The city of Sanctuary is the capital of the empire and home to the imperial court, a term encapsulating any noble who happens to be in the city, and any commoner able to move in noble circles. Sanctuary is the social heart of the empire, the place where alliances are formed and plans made, where even the most restless of adventurers go to find companions and to plan their next steps.

Six Centuries
Posted: November 2025
It is spring of 632 AF, six centuries since the Empire of Adana was founded. The Empire has enjoyed a long period of relative stability, but events in recent years threaten to undo all that. The recent coronation of Koline Otrese saw an interruption by representatives of a minor, faraway place, Ania, seeking to swear fealty -- and seeking protection. However, the empire faces its own internal issues, and ever-present external threats persist.
