Welcome to the Vigilants. You are one of the thousands of people living in the imperial capital of Sentra, the jewel of the Empire.
For some of you, this is home—a comfortable and familiar place you've known your entire life. For others, the city may only be a brief stop, perhaps one of many in your travels. But regardless of how you came here, you share the same streets.
Depending on who you are—and where you live—Sentra can be a beautiful city of wonder and splendor. Yet that perfect city is only what many people see on the surface. There are those that understand there is more to the city, that there are flaws in it that run deeper than what most will see. There are those that know what lies beneath.

Part of the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Imports serves as a cornerstone in the economic infrastructure of the Empire, tasked with overseeing and regulating all goods entering the empire. Its mandate encompasses a broad spectrum of responsibilities, from enforcing trade policies and tariffs to ensuring the compliance of imported goods with safety and quality standards. The Ministry plays a critical role in facilitating trade agreements, working closely with foreign entities to secure favorable terms that bolster the Empire's economic prosperity. Within its purview also lies the crucial task of monitoring and managing the importation of strategic resources, such as the highly coveted Arcstones, ensuring these vital materials are allocated efficiently and responsibly to serve the Empire's interests.
