Deep dives
The Dragon Empire and Its Dynasties
The Maradi Empire, ruled by the powerful dragons known as Morza, stands as the richest empire in Midgard. This empire thrives on an abundance of resources and treasures, created by an alliance among the Morza to maintain stability and power against external threats. Their internal conflicts are curtailed by an agreement not to wage war among themselves, which has enriched them immensely. Characters in the game find themselves entrenched in a heist against this empire, motivated by the intense desire to obstruct the Morza's greed, especially when they learn they will only keep 5% of any treasures they acquire.
