The Northern Emperor

Deep fractures in faith and tradition are tearing the empire apart from within, while whispers of rebellion stir unrest in neighboring realms. Noble families, ever hungry for power, constantly scheme against one another, and the Emperor, reduced to a shadow of his former authority, clings to influence through underhanded means.



Caught in the middle is Arnold von Hohenfels, eldest heir of the Margrave of Hohenfels, who is reluctantly thrust into the Imperial Academy—a ruthless proving ground where cunning and strength determine survival among the elite youth.



Gifted with a peculiar form of magic that often feels more burden than boon, Arnold is forced to tread carefully through the dangerous web of noble intrigue. Tasked with advancing his house’s ambitions, he must outmaneuver rivals, forge strategic alliances, and somehow rein in his reckless cousin Friedrich—all while navigating the cutthroat world of highborn politics.
