Legacy of Blackwood – Synopsis

Decades after Chris Blackwood reshaped the world, his empire stands unrivaled, with its influence stretching across nations. The Blackwood Union rules with absolute authority, dictating the course of history itself. But as the throne transitions to a new ruler, the balance of power shifts, and old alliances are tested.

Ethan Carter, the trusted right hand of Chris, has been named the new Supreme Ruler. With his appointment comes the weight of expectation, the burden of maintaining an empire built on dominance, and the whispers of betrayal lurking in the shadows.

Classic Blackwood and Christiana Blackwood—each with their own vision for the future—must decide where their loyalties lie. Skylar Blackwood, ever watchful, remains a force to be reckoned with, her ambitions far from fulfilled.

But as external threats rise and internal conflicts brew, the question remains: Will the Legacy of Blackwood thrive under new leadership, or will it collapse under the weight of its own power?

A tale of loyalty, ambition, and the price of absolute rule—Legacy of Blackwood begins.

Legacy of Blackwood

Location: Blackwood Empire Headquarters

The air is thick with tension across the Blackwood Empire as the first annual auction of identification numbers commences in the capital today. This momentous event, spearheaded by the government, marks the official beginning of a new era, one where names no longer hold meaning. Instead, citizens are to be classified by their numbers—a move that has already sparked widespread debate among the population.

Despite the apparent calm in the capital, whispers of discontent grow louder in the shadowed corners of society. Many fear this new system will only deepen the divides between the Empire's elite and the so-called "Surviving Citizens."

We reached out to various experts and common citizens alike to gauge the mood.

Interview with a Top Citizen, Number 6

"It's an insult to our history. The Blackwood name is sacred, but now we are all reduced to mere numbers. How are we supposed to feel a sense of identity when the state assigns us a number based on how much we can pay for it?"

The auction today, beginning at 10 billion Blackwood Currency for the coveted Number 5, sets the tone for what is sure to be an annual financial spectacle, pitting the ultra-wealthy against the rest of the population.

But the most startling development came last night during a press conference with Blackwood 1, Chris Blackwood himself. The supreme ruler, flanked by his inner circle, made an unprecedented statement that has sent shockwaves through the nation.

"The era of the individual is over. Only the united strength of the Blackwood name, and by extension, the Blackwood numbers, can sustain this empire. There is no place for the weak. To defy the system is to defy progress."

Many wonder what the future holds under this new rule. Some fear the rise of rebellion, as those with lower numbers are expected to accept their place in the rigid structure without question. Yet, for others, this is a long-awaited step toward unification.

"The true power now lies in the hands of a few, but with such concentrated control, the Blackwood Empire risks alienating the very citizens it claims to protect. The idea of 'progress' could quickly become the perfect excuse for unchecked power. This system is ripe for exploitation."

As the Blackwood Empire marches toward its next chapter, only time will tell if this newly imposed order will hold—or if it will unravel under the weight of its own contradictions.
