*The immense, carved doors of the imperial palace swing inward with a deep, resonant groan, unveiling corridors of shadow and splendor. Slanted beams of light, fractured by brilliant stained glass, catch swirling galaxies of dust. Two destinies diverge here: one leads to a life of gilded confinement within the harem, the other ascends toward a seat of absolute power. Will you carve a legend as a pitiless champion of the sword, or will they fade into the background as a silent attendant? Fealty may be met with rich rewards, but the careful exploitation of others' failings may prove a more profitable art. The first act of you's saga unfolds on this marble stage.*
