It was a cold, brittle day that swept throughout the land. Or, rather, the inhabited portion. Much of this dying earth has withered away, leaving much land dry, lifeless, and relatively impossible to live upon. It was late November, and the heaviness of Winter was only just falling upon them.
There are cities, towns, and small villages scattered everywhere across the continent. Many of which are now subservient to the empire, yet there are some which still exist free from the Emperor's reign, and they aren't in happy places. These villages and cities are cold, raided, and . . . starving. The land, in its final dying stages, host little vegetation and thus hardly produce good crops. There is little food as well as resources to acquire it. Most villages independent of the empire cannot afford Tanzynite for their life source, so they are still reliant upon the nutrients that food provide. With this, disease is more prominent in some societies, and yet without Tanzynite--or a proper Healing Mage--they can hardy treat the person.
As a Rebellion Member you are free to roam any cities which you see fit. Perhaps it's your home, or perhaps you are merely visiting. Maybe you're gathering recruits, or even still gathering information about the Empire's ongoings. The age is one of technology, where everything is electronically run. Modern technology exists, but a lot of places on the map do not support cellular service.
At the heart of the nation rests the metallic castle walls of the Imperial City, Langerdon. Its thick walls made of heavy iron and other metals make it nearly impossible to penetrate. The city inside is one where people live lavishly, having every possible luxury that one would request. Even the poorest people in Langerdon have comfortable lives, an object for many rebels to envy. The streets and city are all technologically advanced and predominately made of steel and iron, the palace being no exception. The castle works for itself, and it alone could be used as a weapon to keep unwanted guests away. There lives the Emperor Korben himself, along with his many loyal subjects and cronies.
As a Subject/Member of the Empire you are to adhere to Korben's orders within Langerdon, the Capital City and remain within that city on patrol, or maybe you're permitted within the Palace/Castle, or maybe you're on assignment in another city to look out for Rebels or Treasonous Individuals. However, those are for later, as right now, all members of the Empire are currently in a meeting with the Emperor to discuss recent events, the Rebellion, Plans etc. You have no problems with communication with the Emperor, as he can "Astral Project" technically using his Dark Powers.
In the Criminal Underworld resides those who don't obey the laws nor do they take them into their own hands, but they break them. Break them like the proverbial knee cap, or the literal one. There are Crime Lords, Gangs, Organized Crime-Doers and just those who commit Petty Crime. There also reside Information Brokers and such who can provide info, usually reliable given their range due to lawlessness. Those who are Criminals, you do what you please, be it robbing shops, banks, people or dealing drugs or weapons, it matters not in the Slums.
Those who are independent free spirits you do what you please, aid the Rebellion, tip off the Empire or do Parkour, you are completely free, but alone in this cold-hearted world.
You all have your places and roles, now is the time to shape your stories, for your fate is in your hands.

-Emperor Korben-
Others were arriving for the meeting, but Korben tended to be the last to arrive for he would stand at his balcony and look out upon his city, his eyes glistening and emitting Dark Blue Energy through his helmet as he gazed and scanned the city which was bathed in Moonlight as it tended to be at this time of Night. In his earlier days as Emperor, he'd be at peace observing his city, but nowadays the constant bothering by the Rebellion irk him constantly, especially when he looks at Langerdon and beyond...he can see the turmoil even when it isn't happening....yet. He couldn't help but clench his hands as he rested them upon the Stone Ledge, leaving grooves where his fingers ground against it. "Accursed Rebel scum..." He muttered in a low, darkly distorted voice.
"Mi'lord?" His pondering ceased upon a female subject, a maid, entered his room to fetch him and he went back into his room from the balcony and greeted her. "Hmm?" He uttered. "They're ready for you at the Round Table, my Emperor." She told him, earning a nod from the Emperor as he left his room while she went back to her duties. Korben walked through the corridors, past many rooms, small events and ornaments until got to a set of large wooden doors and pushed them open, announcing his arrival which silenced the muttering Senior Subjects who awaited his arrival. The doors closed behind him as he took his seat, a Throne which was far more regal and decorated than their chairs, but some had better seating to show their higher ranking than others there. The Emperor sat firm...and spoke.
"Gentlemen and Ladies, welcome...." He leans forward. "Let us discuss. First point of business, how goes the flow of Tanzynite and their profits?" He asked, then someone spoke up, presumably the one in charge of the Finances and Flow of Tanzynite and he dressed like a Scientist, but more formal. "My liege. The Tanzynite flows smoothly, no thieveries by Criminals this Month and Profits are up by 2%, sir." He explained. "Most excellent, but increase and adapt Marketing, I want profits to go up by 5% next time. Do not water-down any of the chemicals or make any new ones yet. If you need to, get Thomas to help you." He replied, the Scientist nodded, Thomas being one of his assistants. "By the way, Thomas has suggested we should perhaps market to a younger audience?" He put this forward nervously, but did not shudder...until Korben spoke. "Need I remind you....that we do NOT market what is basically Drugs to children! *Ahem* ....you tell Thomas that, Timothy." He addressed the Scientist, known as Timothy, who nodded in response, making a note.
Korben then turned to the higher ups (Player Characters of the Empire) and spoke up. "What news of the Rebellion?" He put forward.
