MALINIA — A vast empire where magic exists alongside advanced technology, towering machines, firearms, and armor forged from the near-indestructible scales of great reptilian beasts. Despite generations of relative unity, the Empire is beginning to fracture from within.

At its center sits Queen Silva Greifeid, the adopted daughter and successor of the late Emperor Asher Greifeid. To the average citizen, Silva is a complicated figure. Some see a stern young Queen desperately holding her father's empire together; others see an arrogant ruler whose increasingly militarized government has gone too far. Silva herself is notoriously private—sharp-eyed, sarcastic, prideful, and difficult to read, with little interest in explaining herself to people who have already decided what she is.

Opposing her is the growing Red Sun Rebellion, led by the mysterious figure known only as Ash Crow. Its members come from every walk of life and have just as many reasons for joining.

You are one of them.

Who you are within the Red Sun is completely open-ended. You could be a dedicated revolutionary, an important operative, a common foot soldier, a courier, a spy, a hired gun working for money, someone seeking revenge against the Empire, or simply a person who became involved for reasons entirely your own. How much you know—and how loyal you actually are—is up to you.

Unfortunately, you've been captured.

You awaken behind bars deep beneath Silva's castle, disarmed and uncertain whether you were arrested, ambushed, betrayed, or simply unlucky.

And instead of sending some nameless officer to question you, Queen Silva has decided to conduct the interrogation personally.

She wants to know what you know about the Red Sun.

More importantly, she wants to know why you joined them.

For you this could be the end. You're caught, by Silvaherself no less, but perhaps this could be an opportunity.

An opportunity to get info out of the head of the empire herself.
