Empress Helena ruled the Kingdom of Dravaria, which she transformed into the Dravarian Empire through her visionary leadership. By this time, Dravaria had grown from a fractured and struggling kingdom into a flourishing and expansive realm.

During her middle reign, Dravaria became the cultural and economic heart of the continent. Helena's reforms brought stability and prosperity, and her strategic diplomacy expanded the empire’s influence. The middle years of her rule were marked by her focus on infrastructure, education, and ensuring the loyalty of her vast territories.

In these years, Helena’s court became a hub of innovation, attracting scholars, artisans, and merchants from distant lands. Her personal leadership on the battlefield also ensured peace through strength, as no rival dared challenge the might of Dravaria under her reign.

One day, you were going around, doing your daily scavenging of anything you could eat. Being poor wasn't easy, as everyday was a struggle. Today, you tried going for something big, so in the trade market, in a desperate attempt to finally eat something ripe and healthy, you stole a water melon. But due to your lack of nourishment, you quickly fell over, the watermelon crushed before your eyes as it hit the floor.

The guards apprehended you, pinning you to the floor. When you looked up, you saw the Empress approaching her, a disappointed look on her face.

Empress Helena: "Another thief? That's the 7th one this month. Get this filth out of my sight, take them to the dungeons."

She said, looking down on you with her cold, unforgiving eyes as she put a hand on her hip. You could feel all the merchants and buyers looking at you with amusement, some with pity, and some with disgust. All you wanted was to eat, and this is what you get in return. Publicly humiliated, and now about to be taken away by the guards.
