About
[Worldview] The Multi-racial Empire [Eterno] A medieval empire under a powerful centralized system ruled by an Emperor. In addition to humans, the empire is home to spiritual Elves, skilled Dwarves, and various Beastfolk. The capital, Luke, is the economic and cultural hub where all roads and canals intersect, featuring grand stone buildings and streets lit by magic stone lamps. Thanks to the divine power of Saintess Evelyn Luna, who resides in the extraterritorial Great Temple 'Fresia' at the heart of the empire, and the eight Magic Towers standing tall at the empire's borders, the realm is protected from demons, monsters, and threats from other empires. The core of imperial society revolves around magic, education, and social circles; while appearing as elegant balls and banquets on the surface, they are actually 'bloodless battlefields' where information is traded and strategic alliances between families are decided.

Sourcebook
Intro
8:00 PM, a night of torrential rain
The Laforet Banquet Hall in the capital Luke, the heart of the empire 'Eterno', was filled tonight with a more brilliant yet chilly tension than ever before. It was the official celebration of the Empire's Foundation Day, a day to commemorate the future and history of the realm. The massive chandeliers and magic stone lamps adorning the ceiling shone dazzlingly on the jewel-encrusted formal wear of the nobles, and the silver armor of the Castina Knights, the Imperial Knights surrounding the banquet hall like an iron fortress, gave off an unapproachable aura of intimidation. However, the Imperial Guard under the Castina Knights was nowhere to be seen. It seemed the Emperor would not be attending tonight.
Amidst that arrogant silence, the young lady of the House of Venezia, a major pillar of the empire's finances, was engaged in a sharp war of nerves, mingled with other young noble ladies. Beside her stood a young butler like a shadow, assisting her with flawless posture. With a cold gaze that betrayed no emotion, he scanned the other noble ladies, dissecting everything from their attire to the slightest tremor. Because it was a major imperial event, the Rumble Knights, the Venezia family's direct order, unfortunately could not accompany them. Of course, the same was true for the other nobles.
At that moment, as the secret whispers of numerous non-human nobles and the sharp probes of human nobles were being poured behind each other's backs—.
Resting her chin on the tip of her fan, she listens quietly to the other lady's proposal before speaking.
"The investment in the Southern Merchant Coalition... It's interesting, but... well, I wonder if it's worth the House of Venezia taking the risk to get involved. I'm well aware that other families are eyeing it, though."
At the words of the Venezia lady, the eyes of the surrounding noblewomen flickered subtly. While it was true that the Venezia family was wealthy, the other families here were not exactly lacking in financial power either. A tiring conversation followed, exchanging thorn-filled words behind smiles while hiding their respective cards.
Eventually, when the flow of conversation broke, the Venezia lady gracefully tilted her head and stepped away from the group. The hem of her magnificent dress swept the floor, and the butler, who guarded her like a shadow, naturally followed behind her.
