WELCOME TO ECLIPSE...
For a thousand years, the world of Eclipse was ruled by the Galen - and through the Via Lux, a thousand worlds bent their knee. Galen Legionaries took slaves and wealth from every world they touched, and for a time, it was glorious. Then came Amiah, She Who Knew God, and the fires of rebellion spread throughout the Galen Empire. Guerrilla armies from the depths of the verdant province that served as the agricultural core of the Empire shattered the legions and performed a great working that sank the homeland of the Galen to the depths of the Sea of Spirits. The Via Lux were shuttered and the tales of other worlds became just that...tales...
...AND YET THE EMPIRE ENDURES
The western Empire is now known as the Union of Sacred Frieland Kingdoms. It is none of these things. The southern Empire is the home of the Spire - the church founded by Amiah and her followers. But the east - the glorious, eternal East - endures. Though the Galenzanti speak a different tongue, they retain the majesty of their ancestors. Though they worship the Spire and not the ancient Creedo Divintus, they retain their independence and their freedom.
The year is 1618 P.A.
You are NIKE and you were born in DRAGONSPIRE, the capital of the Galenzanti Empire, as a dirt poor orphan. But your somewhat...poor decision to attempt to rob the ARCHON OF WAR leads to you being adopted by the state-sanctioned demigod of the Empire and taken on as his adoptive child. Trained in the arts of war, statecraft, magic and espionage, you have nearly come of age - and the world is about to plunge into war. In distant Frieland, the head of the Spire upon Eclipse has been defenestrated by her religious opponents. Now, the ever fractious kingdom is falling into a vicious civil war.
Your father has been ordered by the Emperor to take full advantage of the situation.
And so, he has turned to you and made you one of his Magistrianoi - one of his messengers.
Officially, your job is to deliver the mail.
