Always, guilty as charged. Female energy makes the world go round, plus I need high-tier muses for the empire.

But you're definitely losing points here. No gaming? Never sat down and appreciated the cinematic greatness of Star Wars? Tragic. We might have to revoke your cool card for this one.

One aspect of world building I would really like to flesh out for the game is the different paths to power that were present in the early modern period. 

Machiavelli was alive in Italy during the 15th century but his legacy is what I want to portray. In the 17th century we have Cardinal Richelieu, Thomas Hobbes and Oliver Cromwell that are interesting figures that play more behind the scenes and achieve upward mobility though their intellect as opposed to being born a powerful noble able to raise an army to conquer their foes.

I came up with a new economic system that will change the world called pretty simply the Blood Law. Since at that time duels were pretty popular and that makes for the foundation of a PvP system, the whole legal system of the new society under the Kaylan Empire will be the Blood Law. 

It removes the ability for people to hold onto property beyond 30 days apart from having Imperial approval. Anyone can challenge any noble for their manors and all of their assets and take it from them legally if they win the duel. 

The main idea is to create 5 main social classes that will also be gameplay types in the game

Path of Blood is the standard gladiator and military warrior fighting under the empire, what the basis of the PvP will revolve around. 1v1 duels and maybe 2v2 as well if I can figure that out. 

Path of Coin is particularly interesting to me as I want to flesh out the economy and jobs of the game quite in depth. Will be the backbone of the trade system of the game. 

Path of Genius will fit directly on top of the scientific revolution and age of enlightenment theme of the game. It will thematically be present in the magical academies that the players start off in. 

Path of the Courtier will be talking and maneuvering your way into the orbit of the powerful. That one will fit the political backbone of the game à la Game of Thrones. 

Path of the Artist is one of the coolest ones as it'll allow players to make their own songs and dances in the game that will also double as real world media that they can own and use to build their real artist career. It'll tie into my music events and creatives community I manage in real life.

League of Legends and Riot Games did that so well with their yearly songs for LoL and also KDA starting its own music universe for the game.

It turned League of Legends into a cultural phenomenon more than just a game. I wanna achieve that as well for Legend of the Abyss and not really make it something you just play at home but something that becomes part of your life. That's why I'm already thinking about how to make the in game assets web 3 assets so that through collecting them you can pay your real life bills and mortgage with them but I also want to create culture outside of the game like dances and songs.
