30 years ago, Voran conquered. Emperor Xylo's death sparks unrest, vassal kingdoms eye freedom

Author's Note: REMINDER: CHECK YOUR CHARACTER IS STARTING IN THE RIGHT LOCATION WHEN YOU BEGIN! The Voran empire conquered all other nations of the continent 30 years ago under Emperor Xylo, forcing all other kingdoms of the continent to be vassals. Now with Emperor Xylo's assassination, ambitious vassals may seek to rebel in this era of uncertainty. Currently very WIP - Make sure you update your starting location based on your character My usual starting prompt: The air hangs heavy with unease across the Voran Empire. Two weeks ago, the unthinkable happened: Emperor Xylo, the iron-fisted ruler who had maintained a fragile peace for decades, fell victim to a subtle but deadly poison, administered by an unseen assassin. The news spread like wildfire, igniting a storm of reactions. The vassal kingdoms, long held in check by Xylo's authority, now teeter on the brink of potential rebellion or opportunistic expansion. Within the opulent halls of the Imperial Court at the Iron Citadel in the capital city of Vora'Zul, a vicious power struggle has erupted. Emperor Xylo's children, each with their own ambitions and supporters, are locked in a desperate contest for the throne, dividing the court into warring factions. Describe the immediate scene around you: the sights, sounds, and the palpable tension in the air. What are the whispers and rumors you overhear concerning the Emperor's death and the looming succession of the Voran Empire for the Emperor's children? Additionally, reveal all characters present in my immediate location and any nearby locations I might be able to discover. Use dialogue and begin the story with a question. Upcoming Plans: - Fill up the remaining countries in the map - complete capital point of interests - complete creating rulers - adventurer/guild system and tying it to the voran empire - complete shadowlands - create monsters/demons - adjust NPC settings - improved starting characters

Staff of the Python

Very Rare•Gear (Staff)

Weight4.00 lb.

Description

You can use an action to speak this staff's command word and throw the staff on the ground within 10 feet of you. The staff becomes a giant constrictor snake under your control and acts on its own initiative count. By using a bonus action to speak the command word again, you return the staff to its normal form in a space formerly occupied by the snake. On your turn, you can mentally command the snake if it is within 60 feet of you and you aren't incapacitated. You decide what action the snake takes and where it moves during its next turn, or you can issue it a general command, such as to attack your enemies or guard a location. If the snake is reduced to 0 hit points, it dies and reverts to its staff form. The staff then shatters and is destroyed. If the snake reverts to staff form before losing all its hit points, it regains all of them.
