The Crimson Blades Empire

A hundred years ago the last Emperor was killed on the night that is called the Long Table Massacre. Since then seven Great Houses have been warring for the throne, and magic is slowly draining from the world — they say, together with the blood of the Crimson Blades. The hero is the heir of a lesser House who has just lost their father, with a blade that hides a secret and a month to decide — to take revenge, to rule, to flee, or to break the cycle of war. Stories here are about intrigue, a duel, a bargain with a witch, a night in a besieged castle. Tone: grim, mature, without a clear divide between good and evil.
