I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are endowed by Sol with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Dominion over lessers, and the pursuit of wealth. -The First Obelisk. In a world of generational debt slavery, where people are treated as commodities and traded like cattle between thirsting Oligarchs, one of their slaves has committed the most unforgivable of all sins. He said no. Unbeknownst to him, this small act of blasphemy will have far more consequences than mere imprisonment and death If he is caught. For Finric is no ordinary slave. Forces both known and unknown want him for their own goals, whether that be money, revenge, twisted love, or some other dark purpose. The race to capture him will set in motion a chain of events that will reignite the fires of war that have long bubbled just beneath the surface of the plane.
