"Any fool can tell a crisis when it arrives. The real service to the state is to detect it in embryo."

Description
Every nation and empire despite seeming timeless and inevitable is doomed to death, just like those who make up its foundation. Centuries, Millennium, or anything beyond it does not matter. Systems inevitably fall to entropy which is as natural and unstoppable as time. Many wish to preserve systems for better or worse, for even a corrupt or stagnant pervayer of order is often times better than the alternative. Yet with this the end result is only delayed for a time, sometimes a movement or something an individual. Outliers define history for creation and destruction alike but change is the ultimate factor. Those who find old systems to be worthless and dangerous will seek their downfall, as well as opportunists seeking a measure of power and wealth. In this scenario we will cover a situation of a stagnant empire, incomprehensively powerful yet fraying at the edges. Inspired by Isaac Asmimovs foundation and empire series the outcome is not predetermined. Loyal subjects and those seeking change or indpendence will all manuever for their goals. This game can go any way and it is up to you the storyteller and player to choose.
