Ten thousand years ago, the God Emperor descended into the world, with Their infinite golden army. In a single night, They slew the demon who ruled here and built the mountains from its bones. Ever since, the God Emperor has ruled with an iron fist ever since: perfect, infallible, eternal.
You know this because everyone says so, in public. There’s nothing to contradict it. The God Emperor burnt all the written records.
But, now, you hear blasphemy whispered behind closed doors, and defiance spilling out over tankards. The God Emperor has grown weak. They make few decrees and are seen little. Their infinite army is now but a few stragglers, sickness plagues the land, and the common people are fermenting for revolt. Even the old religions, almost completely forgotten, are re-sprouting like trees after a fire.
You are a member of a Noble House. As the God Emperor has weakened, you have grown strong, and you know the truth that must be spoken: even gods can die.
Your house will rise. You will wage war, you will play politics, and you will wait in the shadows. You will bring down the God Emperor. You will become the God Emperor.
