Imperial Throne

It is an inauspicious time to have become emperor. There have been many reverses of late, severely testing the morale of your subjects. The army in the northeastern province of Kohlus has been routed by a minor kingdom, probably due to the poor leadership of its commander, General Maretus. Many of the legions are in desperate need of troops and there is precious little revenue to pay for them. What's more, recent harvests have not been good, leaving the poor to go hungry. Throughout the realm, ancient traditions are being abandoned and people are beginning to fear the empire has lost the favor of the gods.
