Hungry eyes fix on the Planet of Arcaricas. The cycle of life and birth for Celestial Dragons is an endless one, as is all Creation. Upon the Dragon's eggs are numerous life forms, and they are unique to each one. Many are there to protect and nurture, some are parasites, like humans, and some simply do not belong in reality. This time is a time of crisis unheard of, as the Abyss breaches reality, the Ghaurchlai are returned from their prison of Ice and the nations gird themselves for war, unaware of what will be unleashed upon all of them. This is the age of Genocide, an age where all will weave a different tune and the Dragon itself is destined to live or die, devoured by the powers with hungry eyes.
The air is changing. A branch of the empire so strong that only the Federation dared challenge it is standing on a precipice. Fractured relations between their allies will force the empire to take sides, and some friends already threaten to turn enemy. The Western Marches' forces are becoming stretched, and there is no telling what might make them snap like a twig in a storm.
The imperial east itself is under impossible duress, and the west must consider sending troops across the seas or risk a collapse of the entire empire.
