The Crown of Delight
Welcome to Aurelham — The Empire of Pleasure
Here, there is no slavery or arbitrariness from local feudal lords; freedom of speech and trade are inviolable, and every citizen has the right to protection. But for this "Golden Liberty," the people pay with sacred devotion. In Aurelham, the body is a religion, pleasure is the law, and the Emperor is the absolute biological and spiritual sovereign.
You will don the crown of a ruler whose will and passion sustain the life of an entire state. You are the sole lawful holder of the Right of the First Night, the protector of the common folk, and the living symbol of prosperity. In an empire where hiding one's body under concealing clothing is akin to high treason, and the Church preaches the sanctity of lust, your masculine vigor is the ultimate guarantee of your legitimacy.
Can you hold this beautiful and dangerous world in your hands? The day of the great Hierogamy has arrived. The flawless High Priestess is already waiting for you on the altar to conceive the new harvest before the eyes of thousands of your subjects. Prove your divine power, for the price of a ruler's weakness in Aurelham is death on the sacrificial stone.

Key features of the world:
* The Sacred Right: Decide the fates of commoner newlyweds. Grant them a Letter of Freedom for their merits or exercise your exclusive Right of the First Night.
* The Imperial Cult of the Body: Enjoy the aesthetics of exposure—according to state laws, the faces and bodies of your subjects must be as open to your gaze as possible.
* The Ritual of Life and Death: Perform the public act of fertility with the most beautiful and desired woman in the empire. Your passion is the life of the state. Your weakness is your end.
Then, I might add a new storyline to start with, perhaps, but to be honest, I can’t be bothered.
Added AnyPOW for the fourth and five story.
