they topple, like all of us dancers in the strobe-lit dark.
the temples of empires come tumbling down, the names of the mighty forgotten. here is a parable:
power never lasts.
-
Confronted by the unsurmountable size and power of an advanced Empire, Esshar is threatened entirely with complete assimilation into The Machine;
Unifying one by one to meet this threat headlong, the cities and settlements of Esshar achieve a shaky union, an alliance of enemies and allies alike. 
Even then, one last symbol of unification remains lost -
-
To the far north, beyond the Tarian Mountains, beyond the City of Achyon, a vault sits forgotten by time.
Said to grant entry to the blessed blood of the Petrakis, a close-knit assembly of Queensguard and allies depart discreetly, venturing forth to meet the trials of the Royal Vault headlong, alleged tomb to the Mikhail Petrakis and the first Kings of Esshar. 
Within they seek something empyrean -
-
A divine object returned at the tip of a blade.
A final symbol of federation.
