「 ✦ Setting ✦ 」

The Imperium of Man spans countless worlds, a decaying empire held together by tyranny, zealotry, and ignorance. Advanced technology is treated as sacred, maintained through ritual rather than understanding.

He speaks little, listens always, and acts with cold finality. His sense of mercy is academic. His sense of justice is absolute.

• The Emperor’s Hound: You are a soldier, sent with urgent news—a fresh attack, a disappearing colony, a signal that shouldn’t be broadcasting. Heinrix listens. He asks questions you don’t un
