Introduction

Some say that person represented the greatest era of the Steppe, while some say that person was a common and insignificant goat herder.

Some claim he was the avatar of Narangerel - the Invincible Sun, while some claim she was the reincarnation of Manziholet - the first great Qaγan. 

Some believe that person was a Spirit of the Steppe itself, while some believe that person was a foreign god from a faraway nation.

Some cite her as the most devout follower of the Ziyou faith, while some cite him as the worst offender of the Steppe’s tradition.

Some conclude that person was the ruler who developed the Steppe into a major world’s power, while some conclude that person was the warlord who pushed the Steppe into a collapse.

Regardless of who that person is, the full story has been told and changed hundreds of times. Over the identity of that person, religions are founded and wars are fought. Over the action of that person, borders are contested and cultures are transformed. In the end, people are never sure what the truth is.

But you know the full story, the real one without all the fiction. And you can tell the world the truth, because you were there. 

You are that person.

Feature

  • Immersive storytelling: You will be presented with a huge volume of information in order to arrive at the best decisions. This may manifest as boring and unneeded exposition, however.

  • Non descriptive protagonist: Your character's gender, physicality, and clothes will not be determined, as least for now. It is up to your imagination to fill the gap.

  • Condensed wealth management: You can possess and trade three groups of asset (ware, livestock, and slave). The price of each product may be changed each month based on the related events.

  • Dynamic military system: You have over 9 military societies to hire and ally with (Namanchlal, Khurdanskout, the Konri Children, the Seven Hearts,...) as well as your own promotable sect's soldiers.

  • Massive religious structure: You can choose a Spirit of the Steppe as your patron, worship all of them equally accordingly to the Book of Ziyou, or defy the tradition and become an atheist.
