Fantasy Empire Building

Flower-of-Sands enjoys an idyllic yet somewhat restless life on the Marleeseen planet Paradise when Seraphina, the planet’s Supreme Elder, arrives with an astonishing invitation: to become part of a diplomatic mission to the Andromeda galaxy.

But the tide has turned, and soon, our enemies will be dead, or they’ll be turned into allies. We have to play it smart because this isn’t about running rackets in one city.
