The History of the Jade Empire
The Jade Empire. Fashioned from the Void by the
will of the Great Dragon and blessed from its
creation, the empire stands at the heart of the
civilized world—a cultural wellspring in a sea of
barbarity.
The majesty of the Sun Dynasty has guided
our people for generations, preserving our
prosperity throughout the ages. The peace of
the realm was broken only when nature itself
rebelled, withering the land in a decade of thirst.
But even this the Emperor Sun Hai would not
allow. For when he declared the Long Drought
at an end, it was so.
Though you were raised far from the
benevolent gaze of the Emperor, you have
learned much here in Two Rivers—including
control over your body and the mastery of
your mind. But the end of your time at this
borderland school draws near. Now, experience
will replace lessons as you travel beyond the
shelter of Two Rivers. Remember that though
the reach of the Empire stretches far, powerful
spirits lurk just beneath the surface, and the
threat of chaos is ever present.
It is natural that, as an orphan, you would
have many questions. And while your
inquiries to this point have been
met with silence, perhaps on this
day, answers at last will fi nd you.
