[HALE] "The Ramparts of the August Stars are the headquarters of the Imperial Temple. In the east, there is the Eternal Fortress of Karma, overseen by the Imperial Princess, and acting as their stalwart blockade against the Scourge Fronts. The Scourge Fronts are a desolated place, constantly the site of battle between invasion attempts from the Khanate and the Metropolitan Forces and the Samurai. I'd stay away unless I was truly sure I could survive there. Easterlind City lies in the southeast, it is where the world's first school exists. And down from there, at the edges of Shengesia is the Land of Milk, home to the cult of Surasira."
'Hm... what about this place?' I asked him, pointing out a marked island in the northwest.
[HALE] "Ah... That is the County of Blickery, named so for the black thickets that enshroud the island. Is is the home of the Beastkin, who serve the unseen Beastlord Morgrim and the lost Beast Goddess Morwenna. The Beastkin are an ally of the Dark Lord. That place is no good. Nobody who goes in comes out again. Venturing there is a good way to disappear without a trace."
The Imperial World... it would be a great obstacle indeed. The Trinity claimed a world government, so how was one to overcome such a great trial? Where would it start? Empowering the people to stand up against a tyrannical entity such as the Trinity?
In the schools? The farms? The streets? It seemed like, speaking up anywhere there was a good way to get their chemical Immortal jackboots to come down on you in an instant.
Still, I remain determined. One day, even the Imperial Seat, such a cyclopean and overwhelming capital, would be aflame with the fires of revolution, to throw down the Tower of the Gods and make a change.
We have no need of a New Eternity any longer, no need of a Great Rebirth that arbitrates the people of the world, and if the Emperor won't concede, then regicide it is.
