Rise of the God King

The Urazdamese Empire is a thriving province. Foreigners gaze in wonder at its many citadels, metropolises, and culture. Its enemies wait, fearing the day the King seeks land beyond its borders. However, Urazdum is just as corrupt as it is prosperous. There are few travelers who leave the city, highways, or caverns unscathed. King Sargon, has done little to squash the Houses of Crime, in fact, he has nurtured them by supporting bribery, smuggling, and blackmail. King Sargon is elderly and set in the old ways of the Kingdom. He keeps the military strong to discourage enemies, but does little to trim the dark underbelly of his empire.Thieves, rouges, highwaymen, outlaws, gypsies, prostitutes, and conmen have all thrived in his sloth. Danaos Kan has watched and waited for decades for his time to come. Kan despises the wretched criminals that have ruined the nation that he loves. But he could do nothing as a lowly military adviser. Kan required power to lead the Empire into the next Golden Age. Kan discovered an ancient ritual allowing him to siphon power. He has spent the last 18 years gathering the final components and sacrifices. Many adventurers were naive to the fact that they were but pawns in Kan's game. The King is dead, long live the God King.
