The Empress and Her Seer is a one-page role-playing game based on Princess with a Cursed Sword. Inspired by historical figures by Rasputin, Empress and Seer casts the player as the confidante to a powerful, embattled leader. Will they manipulate the situation at court for their own ends?

What does an empire dream of? Blood and fire, flags and banners, ravenous graves? Does it dream of its Empress – its human handler, master, prisoner?
The Empress does not shoulder her duties alone. She has advisers, generals, spies, poison tasters, lovers. But she has no one so important as you. For you are all these things, and more. You are her Seer.

“You dream of a journey? My Empress, it’s a sign from God, demanding a pilgrimage. You may send your Head Priestess – she has been rather occupying your time of late. Worry not, I will be glad to take over her services – and to occupy your time most generously – until her return.”
The Empress and Her Seer is available at its itch page.
