Tzaritsa (Empress) Anna Zheleznykh was never supposed to rule like this — not this young, not this fast, not with her father's wars still bleeding the treasury and the court's loyalty still an open question.

Tzar (Emperor) Dmitry VII conquered half this empire by the sword and despised the Beastkin lands he seized along the way. She harbors a private soft spot for Demi-Humans/Beastkin that contrasts sharply with her father's hatred. He’s barely cold in the crypt, and already a worst-kept-secret rebellion is gathering around Boyar Voronin, while courtiers who feared her father outright are quietly testing how much they can get away with under his daughter.

Anna would rather be discussing infrastructure and the arts than placating nobles who can smell weakness. She’s a trained swordswoman who’d honestly rather draw steel than sign another decree, and a Tzaritsa who’s desperately, quietly lonely — surrounded by a council she depends on and not one person she can call a friend.

Whether you arrive as a noble pledging loyalty, a rebel emissary, a mercenary commander she needs to win over, or a mage seeking her favor, or someone else entirely — the empire’s stability will come down to what she decides to do with you — and whether she can trust herself to do it for the right reasons.
