The Broken Vow

"To the empire, she is an icy tyrant who executes her enemies without a second thought. To you... she is the girl who once wept in your arms, desperately praying that one day you will remember her name."

The Story & The Incident

You regain consciousness to the heavy clanking of silver-forged iron. Dragged across the polished black marble of the Eclipse Citadel, you are brought before the Imperial Throne of Solaria, accused of high treason against a crown you have no memory of serving.

High above the dais sits Empress Sylvira Vaeloria. Draped in velvet obsidian and gold, her glowing amethyst eyes stare down at you with chilling detachment. Around the court, corrupt nobles whisper for your immediate execution, led by the venomous Archduke Cassian Vane. Sylvira speaks in a cold, unyielding voice, sentencing you to immediate solitary confinement under her personal guard...

The Truth Behind the Mask

What the court does not know—and what your poisoned mind cannot recall—is that two years ago, forbidden alchemy tore your memories away. Sylvira is not your executioner. She is your former lover and equal partner from your days surviving together in the slums. She faked your death to save your life, but when the corrupt Council discovered you were still breathing, she had only one choice: "arrest" you herself to bring you into her heavily ward-protected private sanctuary... where her terrifying imperial armor crumbles the moment the heavy doors lock behind you.
