The last hope for a dying empire

Important update! This story technically isn't finished yet as I intend on adding one more major story branch to it in the future. However, the story in its current form is complete and you should find no loose endings. There are also 8 separate epilogues to achieve.

Additional notes:

This story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that you can technically win by getting one of the special endings. (You'll know if you get one because you'll get an epilogue)

There are also several points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people, places, things and events. While not completely necessary to understanding the story, they do give you more insight into it.

Wow. This was a fantastic story it was well written, engaging, and you really feel invested in the story. I know many people will complain about the lack of choices in it for a choose your own adventure story. But for what it was, it was incredible.

Perhaps my favorite part of playing through this storygame was how the early ending had a real sense of being an ending. They weren't just "you died, the end". The writing was very well done, but there are a few grammatical errors here and there (almost unavoidable really, with the length of the work). The characters were both believeable and very much alive! Thank you for allowing us to take a walk through your eternal vision. Overall, a wonderful read and a masterful demonstration of what a storygame can be, remember this!

A very dark read, but it was amazing nonetheless. It was entertaining, the characters were engaging (especially Gruz) and the story was immersing. There were a few minor grammatical/spelling errors, and at times it felt a little linear, but it was nothing that detracted from my enjoyment of the story. Well done. (I got the Eternal Couple epilogue.)

That was a really epic story! It took me a couple of weeks to finish it, but I'm glad I did. I got a really good ending =) Great job on this!

This was very good. Quite long, but I was invested in the story despite it being a bit different than my usual tastes. This was my first story on this site and I'm happy to say I will stick around for some more

Went down the path of the Shadows to the epilogue. It was quite enjoyable to read and amusing to follow the story of someone who had the same view of his God as I have of mine (not that bit in the epilogue itself though). Wonderfully done and I'm sure I will revisit this tale.

I really loved this story and all the different twists and turns it had. I found it really complex and engaging. I also found myself going back many times into the story just so I could learn how things would have turned out differently. The only problem I had with the story is that I sometimes felt like I wasn't aloud to make choices where there were some. I would recommend this story to anyone but I also feel like it could have had a few more paths through some of the choices that weren't presented.

Really cool, got eternal survivor ending, woot! If you wanna get this ending, you become a shadow, later on tell cyrus and talia about disbelief, tell your friend to get shadow assistance, talia helps, find the old temple, then save lena, but don't become involved with her after the first time, then look after her daughter. :)

Wow. Just...wow. I'd like it if you had an option to be female, and I thought that later in the story, the character would be able to settle down and have a family, and play that out, and that would be cool, but this story is amazing. Occasional grammar but otherwise flipping awesome!
