Kroda had never looked back. In the two centuries since, they’d reclaimed their lost lands, annexed Estria and invaded Ossia. Even mighty Harrow would rather make alliance with them than oppose them, and Klyssen was confident that they’d one day become part of the Empire in their turn. If they were not conquered by force of arms, they’d collapse from within. Ossified by tradition and heritage, they were a culture incapable of change. They’d crumble like the ruins of the Second Empire, or be crushed in the fullness of time beneath the wheel of Krodan progress.
