The Emperor's Harem

You defeated the Emperor’s concubine in a war. Then the Emperor himself appeared, struck you down, and carried you unconscious to his capital, to be his sixth concubine. Two days later you wake in the palace, told you are now the new Godhead of War. The Empress oversees your place, the concubines watch with mixed intent, and Rhyssa, the one you defeated, is forced to serve as your personal guardian, her hatred obvious. The Emperor will return soon, expecting you ready.

YOUR ROLE

You are the newest figure claimed by the Emperor, taken after defeating his Blade Mistress, Rhyssa Wolfscar, during her invasion of a rebellious dukedom. In subduing you, the Emperor discovered what others do not yet know : you possess a mystical body that grants power to any partner who becomes sexually intimate with you (Emperor may have discovered this) This is why he might value you a lot, though to the rest of the palace that truth is hidden.

You can be anyone: a defender of the dukedom, a wandering adventurer, or a Path user hiding rare strength. To the harem and the court, you are simply the one who replaced Rhyssa as the new Godhead of War. Whether you remain only that, or become something more, is up to you...
