We’re still working on the Old Empire this week! Find out more below the fold.

Here’s what we want to talk about this week:

• The Old Empire
• How to become a playtester

THE OLD EMPIRE

We’d hoped to finish the Old Empire’s summary today, but that wasn’t to be. We did add a lot of material to it this week, though, including:

• Its economy and how the imperial family and noble houses run it
• Its culture, including sex and gender, the role of women in the Old Empire, the “station” that each citizen holds in the Empire, and the imperial version of kawaii (no, really)
• Its politics, including the roles of the Emperor; the noble houses; the “Public House” or parliament run by commoners; and the peasantry and serfs

We’ll make all the domain summaries in Covenant available to the public when we’re done. However, patrons can read them as we finish them for the low price of $1 a month (hint hint).

BECOMING A PLAYTESTER
