The Scenario
Victory Conditions
The main goal of every major Faction is to conquer Glass. In order to conquer Glass, one of the two following states must be achieved:
- De Jure Emperor: Meet all three of the following conditions:
- Control the City of Leaves.
- Be declared Emperor with the blessings of Kain or Prince Sūn.
- Control at least 50% of the island’s area, as measured by the largest contiguous area that can be drawn between your Settlements & the ocean containing no Settlement not under your control.
- Conquest: Annihilate or subjugate every other major faction.
If either state is met, the Faction who has done so is victorious. This is the intended & most probably “clean” end state, but of course, this being a role-playing game, it may yet go on.
Bonus Victories
Each major Ruler also has an objective of their own. If a Ruler achieves their own objective by the end of the game, they are also victorious, even if they are not the new Emperor.
Major Factions
There are five major Factions, defined by their principal goal of conquest.
