It had been three days since Ethan's official coronation as Emperor, and the rise of Anbord from a kingdom to a full-fledged Empire. As expected, change swept across the land like a fresh wind.
The High Sovereigns, once the pillars beneath Ethan's rule, were now elevated to Kings, each crowned to reign over the newly designated nations born from Anbord's expansion. Seven in total, each a vital thread in the tapestry of the Empire.
At its heart stood Vaerenthall, the imperial capital — ruled by none other than Trevor Sanguivar Smith. With his ascension to kingship, Trevor was compelled to step down as head of the Smith Family, entrusting the role to his younger sister, Silver Smith. It was a bittersweet shift, but necessary, and symbolic of the new order Ethan had envisioned.
Following Vaerenthall was Ebonreach, the city of shadows and honor, entrusted to Lamair Thanatos Griswold.
