I personally am pretty flexible when interacting with others in game, going with whatever backstories they make for their characters, regardless of circumstance.
That being said, having your character be from a place that isn't "real" in Shattered Kingdoms is right on the edge of taboo. If it's a minor plot point in your character's history, I doubt many people will take mind. If it's what ends up driving her, and becomes a core part of her, I would recommend biting the bullet and choosing the Empire (and if your character doesn't speak or read Imperial, that can be explained away with some convenient Amnesia or something).
It's against the rules to give too much away, but Shattered Kingdoms is littered with secret groups, some of which are evil. Many (all?) of these groups give your character access to otherwise restricted areas or shops, but the most powerful groups are called Tribunals (Your character becomes part of a Kingdom's Military and can order soldiers) and Cabals (Your character joins a secret organization that grants them special powers).
Tribunals can be freely talked about on the Forums (correct me if I'm wrong), but not the secret Cabals and not the quests that lead to the "normal" secret groups.
Is there anything I should know about the empire if I decided to join it? Like rp wise?
