They usually were formed to knock down a common threat or rival. To that effect, most alliances were ones of convenience, and lasted for only a single conflict.
It was rarer still for two neighbors to enter into an alliance, as settled land didn’t need to be curated or Tiered up. It was rare for two of the Great Powers to ally, since they usually contested each other for territory and resources. That threat had caused Agatha to turn to the then similarly powered Conglomerate of Guilds and offer a truce, treaty, and official defensive alliance. But he was slowly trying to chip away at their power bases, and the noble families knew it. She never wanted to find out, and thus refrained from pushing the nobles too hard. His grandmother could fight one Tier 50, but if there were two… It declared that they, their houses, and any land they directly settled were exempt from those rules.Īs was the case today, the nobles of the past subtly threatened to go to the other great powers and split away from the Empire. In response, she had to write an exemption for the nobles of that time. Preventing newly raised noble families from excluding all but their firstborns from seats of power, and allowing anyone to challenge a noble to their position caused even more backlash. In exchange for amending the Path of Ascension to allow commoners, and reducing the stringent requirements to recruit new people, she was forced to reform the tax policy and replace those funds with her own delving profits. She instituted many new changes, which would eventually be the foundation that the Empire's success rested on. But, in order to fund those wars with both money and bodies, his grandmother had to make several concessions to convince the remaining noble families to back her. Most ended in draws, with no land exchanged on either side, and only spilled blood to show for them.
The new Tier 50 was incredibly aggressive to the Empire, and declared nine wars on them during their thirty thousand-year reign. The Sects didn't take their loss lightly, saying that their Tier 50 was about to ascend, which he did in short order. That event cemented the Empire as a power not to be trifled with, but it also painted a target on their back. Agatha then proceeded to cull the families that backed the coup. In an at-the-time realm shaking event, his grandmother cut the Tier 50 in half, causing him to retreat in a panic. He had convinced the Tier 50 ruling them to assist in his take-over plot, for some unknown compensation. It had come to a head when a noble had secretly met with the then slightly stronger Sects, and proposed an alliance. Most of the vital Ducal families tried to seize the throne, causing chaos amidst a struggle for power. He only had recordings of the woman, but she had dethroned a corrupt dynasty, then struck down the internal strife that nearly led to a civil war. Grandma Agatha had been a beast that few could compare to. The Tiers where you earned a Talent or needed a Concept were always watershed Tiers, where it was even harder to close the gap. The gaps between Tiers only grew more prominent as a cultivator ascended through them. At Tier 48, she had an inspiration that pushed her to Tier 49, allowing her to kill the Emperor of the time. His grandmother was a monster, and might have been able to give Duke Waters a run for his money. Still, her supporters and the neutral parties had been given special compensation, along with exemptions from the rules that had been implemented. The loyalists had all been purged or forced to ascend during his grandmother's rule. He was a part of an old house of nobility that had remained neutral when Emmanuel’s grandmother took the throne from the previous dynasty. That was where he found the answer to his Melinda problem.ĭuke Frederic Macheteuil was the cause of quite a few of the Empire's current problems. That definition allowed the skill owner to bind people to their cause nearly forever. They essentially stated that the person accepting the contract was given something genuinely unique and incredibly valuable. It was never illegal, but the contracts could be restrictive.
They functioned as bribes, used to entice people that the new skills perfectly fit over to the creator’s side, along with stringent contracts. Others, people he disapproved of, used the rare and unique cracks as recruiting tools. Some did it more as a hobby, just trying to find or create unique cracks that completely changed the skills’ function.

More than one person had taken to collecting odd cracked skills for a variety of reasons. He had cracked thousands of healing skills, to no effect, before he started looking elsewhere. Emmanuel looked around his office while lost in thought.
