Great Schism

At the end of the long and devestating Century of Anarchy, the Emperor Gordun searched for any advice he could find on restoring his Empire. The various cults and superstitious oracles of his court failed to give him any sense of resolve or options for victory. But one day a stranger in a red cloak approached his throne, the High Priest of the Archivist sect in Chikago, Seth.

Seth told the Emperor of his faiths immense wisdom, and convinced the Emperor to allow him to teach him how to read and write. The Emperor agreed and was amazed at the things he discovered through the guidance of Seth's teachings. He discovered an ancient book known as the Art of War, and was immensely inspired by the tactics portrayed in the book. He immediately began to organize his campaigns to re-unify the Empire and defeat his usurpers.
