Holy Empire: Rise of the False Prophet
In the heart of a secular kingdom, where noble houses war for power and faith is nothing more than a relic of the past, a single man dares to reshape the world.
Ethan Eldrin, heir to a fallen house, should have perished in obscurity. Instead, he rose—not through birthright, not through steel, but through faith.
From the quiet valley town of Ravenspire, he founds the Creed of Mandal, a religion of mercy, unity, and salvation—or so the people believe. In truth, Ethan weaves miracles from poison, forges loyalty from fear, and turns faith into a weapon sharper than any blade. With his Holy Knights, his Inquisitors, and his fanatical Ashen Order, he pulls the desperate into his grasp while nobles and kings dismiss him as a mere preacher.
But as his influence grows, the great noble houses—Duskbane, Ravencourt, Ironmere—begin to take notice. The ruling House Valcairn, a dynasty built on an iron grip, soon realizes too late that faith is a force they cannot command.
By the time they try to crush him, the prophet has already planted his roots deep.
What begins as a single temple in Ravenspire will become a kingdom of its own. And from there, an empire.
Because Mandal’s light does not guide—it conquers.
