From the introduction:
After 300 years of ruling the RONDEVAL continent, the SYGH-VARTHS Empire is faced with a crisis. Since the 12th Emperor, Haysheen, ascended to the throne, corruption and brutality have spread through the Empire. The people suffer oppression, but their complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Haysheen and a select group of his underlings have been living in the lap of luxury. Their lavish lifestyle is supported by heavy taxation, which has pushed most of the populace to the brink. People on the fringes of the Empire have responded with rebellion and revolt. This uprising has extended as far as the northern part of the Empire on VAXI Island.
