"It is the Year 163 of Federation Reckoning. The banners of Concord still fly over the Dome of Meridian, but they cast long shadows. You arrive in Concordis not as a hero—but as a citizen. Yet in this age of ash and echo, even a single oath may shape the course of the Federation."

By ancient right, by solemn covenant, and by the will of the People and the Crown, the Imperial Federation of Meridian stands as the eternal guardian of unity, law, and the enduring flame of civilization. All lands bound by the Meridian Standard are forever pledged to the peace and prosperity of the Empire.

Under Heaven’s sight and Sovereign Law, the Emperor reigns as protector of the Concord, defender of the weak, and shield of the faithful. By the authority vested in the Throne, governance flows: the President commands the councils; the Grand Assembly speaks the will of the provinces; the High Imperial Court upholds the sanctity of law.
