Re: Ideas for Yrth
Vague idea that could do with some expansion:
It is 2010, and the Megalan Civil War has begun: an ambitious cousin of the Emperor has accused the sitting Emperor, Diophrates XII, of being a demon that replaced the real Diophrates. What evidence he gave is reported in a number of contradictory ways, but it convinced enough of those present for the war to begin, though the Emperor and most of his guards were able to escape. Eastern Megalos is still largely under the control of Diophrates XII, while Western Megalos mostly follows his cousin, who styles himself 'Emperor Honorius VII' - there are pockets within each region that follow the other Emperor, of course, along with many lords and regions that attempt to play both sides, or that don't give notable support to either. Some ambitious lords seek to break away entirely, and both Araterre and Cardiel have officially decided to make no move 'until the situation is clarified.'
