The ferocity of the Bear. The endurance of the horse. The power of the elephant. The pride of the lion. But true power lies in the shadows with a serpent, a spider, a raven, a rat. This is not a war for the mighty, with battles waged on the open field. This is a war for the cunning, with battles waged in webs of deception Five mighty empires are at war for the world, but you are no mighty ruler. Instead, you'll be playing a secret society who is betting on the hopeful victors of this war while pulling strings to rig the results and ensure your bets pay off.
