Waltz for Elphame

The most powerful man in the galaxy is sickly and bedridden.

No heir is named. His children vie for power, amassing forces in anticipation of his death. The Empire that endures with his protection is split, princes, bishops and mayors of a hundred little statelets divided in allegiances and alliances. The Emperor is powerless to intervene, forced to watch as his most powerful and hated vassal might die and send the galaxy into turmoil.

Will you choose a side in the succession crisis? Facilitate the collapse of the dynasty that wields more power than the emperor?

Or seize power for yourself?
