In the early years of its existence, besides the grand palace of the Empress in Silenthia, there was nothing remarkable; but as time went on, the second capital grew larger and larger until it eventually became the largest city in the world, both in area and population. Silenthia was the face of the empire, literally and figuratively; absolute order and cleanliness were maintained here, total control was exercised, and its main attraction was a colossal statue of the Empress, which was undoubtedly the largest structure ever built by human hands. At all levels of the state apparatus, each official was represented by a loyal crown specialist, supported and supervised by specially trained Larian dolls. Faith in the Empress becomes the basis of common sense in public consciousness, and doubting her is like being considered insane by those around you. What tyrants like Arkon and Reisen could not achieve with magic and demonology, Rinze Reim achieved with pen and ink: for decades, the Reimean Code has been updated and supplemented with new chapters, and people have slowly but surely adopted the way of thinking and behavior that its study promotes, along with the strict laws of the empire.
The economic, technological, and military power of the empire left no chance for its opponents, and over the years, the political behemoth absorbed more and more surrounding countries, opening up the possibility of uniting the world under one flag.
The integrity of the empire and the smooth transformation of the mentality of its population became largely possible thanks to the stability, security, and prosperity that came with the rule of the new empress. And perhaps, for an ordinary person, unburdened by deep philosophical thoughts and devoid of ambitions, this was the ideal situation; but for inquisitive people burdened with their own idealism, this life could lose all its colors, leaving no opportunities for change.
With this, the history of this world comes to an end because now its future has a clear image and name – Rinze Reim.
Reflections from the past week led me to decide to bring this setting to a logical conclusion, so if I ever undertake another expedition, it will be about something new. There were only two options for continuing the story, and one of them involved putting Rinze into a state of lethargy similar to Luciola (the consequences of transplanting her fragment of fate), which on the one hand would open up potential for further plot development, but on the other hand, due to forcing such a plot twist, it would be extremely tiring because any subsequent intrigue based on political changes would lose all meaning for me. The second option is a post-apocalyptic world in a fragmented future, where the main forces are independent organizations of dolls and disparate clans of vampires. This option, despite its wildness, presents a certain interest for me, and also opens up the potential for very cool and unique things in terms of expeditions, both сюжетные and gameplay, but still, such a plot is not suitable for a text format at all. The lack of certain everyday moments makes such an undertaking completely unviable, and you can hack mobs in a full-fledged computer game. Another alternative is stories about what happened "before" such an ending, but again, they may be interesting in themselves, but not in the context of an expedition. So that's it. Let's agree that this time we played through and brought the story to a happy end.
