<p>Welcome to <em>Kingdom Divided 2</em>, our political-fantasy RPG campaign set in a world of ancient rivalries, divine transformation, and imperial ambition. In this Session Zero, the players dive deep into character creation, world-building, and mechanics—laying the groundwork for the conflicts to come.</p><p>We explore the core mechanics of Fate, break down skills, stunts, and aspects, and connect each character to the larger political landscape. From a shadow-jumping assassin blessed by saltblood magic, to an Esten scholar haunted by glassbound spirits, to a noble exile carrying a stolen relic of imperial conquest—each character’s past and purpose is forged in conversation.</p><p>You'll also hear discussions on the tension between cultures (Bellringers, Mikado, Esten), the dark temptations of the Worm Gods, and what it means to fight for unity—or use unity to seize power. It’s worldbuilding, drama, and just a little chaos.</p><p>Whether you’re a Fate Core fan, a worldbuilder, or just here for the roleplay—this is where the story begins.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
