Since the city’s founding, it has been ruled over by the Dorran dynasty. For most of the family’s history, there has been peace and content within the empire. Through trade and negotiations, the city of Dorran has grown fast and strong, and their external enemies have been kept at bay.

However, the previous emperor and his wife died under suspicious circumstances while at sea. The current emperor is their young daughter, Tillith Dorran. Due to her age and inexperience, she if advised by a group of ministers. In the years since her reign began, corruption has seeped into the higher echelons of society, while poverty takes over those at the bottom. Groups have appeared throughout the city and the empire, talking of overthrowing the emperor through open rebellion.

Some believe that the source of corruption is her Prime Minister, Eli Trasp, whispering lies and deceit in her ear. In the hope of averting civil war the party have been hired to assassinate the Minister by one of the larger rebel groups. However, he rarely leaves the young empress’s side and is protected at all times by both her royal guard and his own. In order to carry out their mission, the party will have to sneak into the palace and catch him unaware.
