The Dhalmekian Republic, the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, the Iron Kingdom — they are all versions of the same error. Each built its identity around the Eikon it claimed, the divine power it believed gave it the right to do whatever it needed to do.

The longest session in the playthrough. Four hours of an empire in the process of understanding what it was actually made of. Clive moves through it as someone who was shaped by one of those empires and who has been dismantling its logic for the entire game.
