Across the known universe, the reach of the Universal Majesty extends without question.
A new world—rich in mineral wealth, steeped in strange rites—has been located. The local tribes are primitive, their understanding of warfare rudimentary. An elite expeditionary force is dispatched: disciplined, armored, and resolute.
Their mission? To pacify. To extract. To bring enlightenment.
Cities fall. Altars crack. The banners of the Majesty rise high over the temples of forgotten gods. But even here, resistance festers. A native warlord, shrouded in feathers and prophecy, dares to stand against the tide.
The conquest begins. The outcome ... is not yet known.
