Trivia

  • While guards are present to maintain the realistic presence of a great military force in the city, be aware that they are not there to hurt your character. Guards will always look for a way out of killing your character and will only do so if you provide uncooperative. You can always prevent your character’s death.
  • Laws are subject to change and heightening by Imperial Proclamation should the Violet Commander or Arch-Chancellor deem it necessary to pass such into effect.
