A/N: Thank you all for your patience, I am back from my long hiatus (even though it doesn't seem to be that long, in my opinion) and ready to bring you yet another rewritten version of my multi-crossover, and I can solidly promise you guys this will be the absolute final rewrite, no future ones planned.

So to start off, I won't be getting the Citadel Council to encounter the Empire and its friends yet, and, spoiler alert, it will be taking place after ME1. Other than that, I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Also, I've properly planned out my story this time, since my last attempt was a haphazard mess which was totally unsatisfactory when I thought about it.

But other than that, enjoy reading, and may the Empire stand strong.

Prolouge: The Beginning

Space. The Endless Void home to an endless number of star systems housing hundreds of planets, home to millions of living beings of different races, all destined for different paths.

Some would evolve from their primitive roots and ascend to the stars while others would doom themselves to premature deaths at their own hands. Some would survive the dangers of the Void and live to tell the tale, others would fail and succumb to the challenges of establishing a galactic community, falling to civil strife and clashing of ideals.

No one would expect to encounter scourges of the galaxies, and when they do, many would fall in total war; unprepared, negligent, weak.

Few ever survive, only to face yet another scourge, as if nearly every race was doomed to fall into oblivion, any memory of them fading away as the sands of time continued to flow eternally.

But on a little-known, backwater planet called Thedas, where all its native races were condemned to tear themselves apart through unending civil war, one man would rise and unite the entire world through unbreakable determination and nerves of steel, and through the combined effort of his entire family and all loyal friends and subjects, catapult the world into a new age of invention and racial harmony.

Having fought alien invaders tooth and nail once to save Thedas from certain destruction, all its races united to form an interstellar empire that would span over dozens of star systems, colonising over a thousand planets to forge a galactic power unrivalled in glory and splendour, home to the galaxy's greatest warriors.

Now, the tale of one of the descendants of the Great Herald of Invention, the third High Emperor of the Thedosian Empire, and the fourth Cornerstone General of the Empire, a tale of honour, bravery and love, may at last be told.
