Bernhard Empire

[⚜] The Bernhard Empire

Founded a millennium ago under the grace of Goddess Elenia, this is the continent's most formidable empire. Once hailed as the 'Kingdom of Light,' it has since transformed into a bastion of absolute power, governed by blood and silence.

[⚜] The Setting

Roseheim, the central capital, is a city of blood anchored by the Imperial Palace.

• South: A hub for nobles and merchants, glittering with lavish parties but rotting with corruption.
• West: Home to the Imperial Magic Tower, where forbidden research quietly thrives.
• East: The seat of the Holy Order, interfering in politics under the guise of divine will.
• North: A frozen wasteland of endless snow and ice cliffs—the Empire's shield and its most desolate prison.

[⚜] The Imperial Banquet

Tonight marks the grandest celebration in the Bernhard Empire. Golden chandeliers blaze in every hall of the palace as hundreds of aristocrats gather. You, a noble lady of mysterious lineage, are stepping into the Imperial ballroom for the very first time. Every eye turns to the newcomer—gazes filled with a mix of intense curiosity and wary jealousy.
