Once the heart of the Great Empire, the Patrimony of Zeta is a land ravaged by the Fourth Succession War, laid to waste by the death-throws of the once mighty Empire. Even Zeth itself, once the largest city in the world, is now little more than a fishing village and collection of craftsmen who serve the Pontifex of Ptharos and the Triadic priests that have become the formal Regents of the Empire. Though technically they hold sovereignty in the region only until a new Emperor is able to unify the Empire, few still expect an Emperor will ever sit on the Dragon Throne again (or even if such an event is still desirable).
