Until recently, the huge state of the Ray Empire was united. Today it is divided into individual provinces. The noble families are ready to take up arms, resolving centuries-old grievances, because they are no longer restrained by the strong hand of the emperor.

And sometimes, it’s not at all random... For example, the tavern owner Merino Lika, who was generally counting on a calm old age.
