Description
This is the story of an expanding empire, not understanding its reach, unfulfilled by its goals, and misled by its gods. It follows a group of travellers as they try to expand the empire, and probe the edges of its control. It is set in a world in which power is directly connected to origins, ancestry, and the gods of a culture. It examines the effects of conflict on a people when they can’t be disconnected from their surroundings, and thus true mobility is not possible.
The first book will be focusing on a group trying to explore and settle the lands east of their empire. Deciding that a new push is needed, groups are being funded to take and farm the near-empty land, and this group of four is heading out ahead of many of the settlers. The four - Sojo, Mirrel, Eyn, and Brehen - hope to find and chart something of importance in a vast, nearly unexplored landscape, and bring the knowledge back to make their fortune. This story will be focusing on the people that make, inspire, and ultimately shape the course of an empire's ambitions.

- TheHuscarlRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Overall it looks promising ;)
For now it's well written and i haven't spotted any mistakes through casual reading. So no complaints on that front.
The different leads (there are multiple leads) are well seperated from each others thoughts. Though it makes sense to have both POV's as atleast one can affect the other if i'm correct.
The story/world has some thought put into it and there is room for a lot of interesting content/development, but the story is still in its infancy.
Spoiler: My thoughts/explanation of the multiple lead characters
The first LC has some family ties to the story of the country, and has some knowledge of its beginnings (dunno how much is common knowledge in world).
The other POV jumps around between more characters, but they're in another time as far as i can tell, as their story seems to be the founding of the country in first LC's time (their current actions match what first LC tells/knows).
Overall i would recommend reading it as of now. Also to note is that it doesn't yet appear to be a story about insanely powerful adventurers that conquer monster-infested lands. And the first Lead character doesn't seem to be connected to the political side of the empire.
