The Valorian Empire, once a symbol of grandeur and prosperity, had fallen under the oppressive rule of a tyrant who ruled with an iron fist. The once benevolent monarch had succumbed to the allure of power, transforming into a despotic ruler, blind to the suffering of his people. The imperial council, once a body of wise advisors, now cowered under the tyrant's cruel whims, too fearful to challenge his authority.
Within the empire's borders, the once vibrant cities now bore the scars of oppression. The glittering spires had lost their luster, the grand architecture now serving as a stark reminder of the tyranny that overshadowed the land. The citizens, once proud and loyal, lived in constant fear, their voices silenced by the crushing weight of the tyrant's regime.
