Summary
The Emperor AU is a collection of prompts from several different FFXIV Writes that keeps popping up for me every year. I'm finally compiling them all into one single space.
The premise is that upon death, instead of leaving his heirs to fight for supremacy, Solus zos Galvus named an heir at the urging of his grandson, second son, and several Garlean Senators. It's just he's a spiteful old man and named the Warrior of Light as his heir instead of someone sane.
The story starts right after the Bloody Banquet and basically changes the entirety of Heavensward, Stormblood, and like half of Shadowbringers because the Warrior of Light is dealing with trying to actually stop Garlemald from imploding and turn a war mongering nation into a state of trade and prosperity. Mostly with the help of their very confused and tired confidants.
There are two versions I'm collecting in one: a Female Warrior of Light (Hiroka Hikara - Female Miqo'te) and a Male Warrior of Light (Hero Shadeseer - Male Viera). They're technically the same person really, Hero's personality doesn't change much when he's a woman, but I'm telling people here so there's less confusion. I'll put in the chapter notes if it's Hero or Hiroka.
