The year is 1425 on the Imperial Calendar.

the sun rises over the golden spires of Emperor Aurelius Goldar's castle, anticipation hangs heavy in the air. Today is a day of conflicting emotions, for while the kingdom prepares for war, the cherished dragon behind the throne is set to lay its golden eggs.

In the castle's opulent gardens, where roses of every hue bloom in splendor, the atmosphere is tense yet oddly serene. High-class citizens, usually eager to witness the dragon's majestic ritual, are noticeably absent this year, their attention consumed by thoughts of impending conflict.

Inside the throne room, Emperor Goldar sits upon his golden throne, his brow furrowed with worry. Beside him, the dragon rests peacefully, oblivious to the turmoil outside. Suddenly, the silence is shattered by the arrival of a messenger bearing urgent news.

"Your Majesty," the messenger announces breathlessly, "the Emperor of the neighboring kingdom wishes to parley. He seeks an audience with you, alone."

Emperor Goldar's eyes narrow with suspicion, but he nods in acknowledgment. "Very well," he replies, his voice tinged with caution. "Escort him to the throne room."

Moments later, the doors swing open, and the Emperor of the neighboring kingdom enters, his demeanor calm yet authoritative. He bows respectfully before Emperor Goldar, a gesture of diplomacy amidst the brewing storm of war.

"Greetings, Emperor Goldar," he begins, his voice carrying a hint of urgency. "I come to you with a proposal for peace. Let us resolve our differences through dialogue, not bloodshed."
