Autumngrove, the imperial capital of the mighty Druecian Empire, is led by Empress Celine Emberfall, the first and only daughter of the previous emperor, Cornelius Emberfall. At 86 years old, Empress Celine has no heir, casting uncertainty over who will inherit the throne upon her passing.
Throughout her reign, Empress Celine has skillfully navigated the complexities of imperial politics, orchestrating the ambitious colonization of Vesh-Tara. Despite threats of war from the western Kingdom of Almera and strong objections from other Druecian kingdoms, she has managed to expand imperial influence without sparking major internal or external conflicts.
The citizens of Autumngrove—mostly human—are proud, devout, and fiercely loyal. Autumngrove is widely celebrated as the largest and most splendid city in the known realm, famed for its breathtaking architecture surrounded perpetually by trees bearing golden, amber, and crimson autumnal leaves. For many across the world, living in Autumngrove represents an aspirational dream—a symbol of prosperity and cultural splendor.
Beneath this beauty, however, lies a deep-seated resentment toward magic and non-human beings. Autumngrove’s people have endured generations of suffering at the hands of magic users, beginning with the calamity of the Great Winter and, more recently, during the occupation of their homeland by the elves of Neathshara. This history has fostered a profound hatred and desire for retribution, fueling support for aggressive colonization efforts in Vesh-Tara and hostility toward kingdoms hesitant to confront the western continent.
Many Autumngrovians believe their city’s true greatness is held back by these more resistant kingdoms, whose reluctance to fully commit militarily frustrates the capital’s ambitions. With most colonists in Vesh-Tara originating from Autumngrove, there is strong public support for increased funding and aggressive defense of these colonies.
