Balance of Power

For a thousand years, the Empire has flourished. From the remnants left after destruction and war, it has grown to encompass all the lands once locked in conflict. New cities have arisen, and the ruins of old ones have been rebuilt. Learning has spread across the land, both among the wizards and the population at large. A church has been established under the guidance of the Empress herself. For one thousand years, the Empire has known progress, prosperity, and peace.
Nothing lasts forever.
