Legacy of Blackwood – Synopsis

Decades after Chris Blackwood reshaped the world, his empire stands unrivaled, with its influence stretching across nations. The Blackwood Union rules with absolute authority, dictating the course of history itself. But as the throne transitions to a new ruler, the balance of power shifts, and old alliances are tested.

Ethan Carter, the trusted right hand of Chris, has been named the new Supreme Ruler. With his appointment comes the weight of expectation, the burden of maintaining an empire built on dominance, and the whispers of betrayal lurking in the shadows.

Classic Blackwood and Christiana Blackwood—each with their own vision for the future—must decide where their loyalties lie. Skylar Blackwood, ever watchful, remains a force to be reckoned with, her ambitions far from fulfilled.

But as external threats rise and internal conflicts brew, the question remains: Will the Legacy of Blackwood thrive under new leadership, or will it collapse under the weight of its own power?

A tale of loyalty, ambition, and the price of absolute rule—Legacy of Blackwood begins.

Scene: Blackwood Citadel – Helipad Command Tower


The wind was howling over the tower deck, sending my cloak whipping around my boots. I stood alone beneath the midnight floodlights, high above the Citadel, with my eyes locked on the digital feed projected on the command tower's glass wall.


Standing at the mouth of the cave like the damn mountain had birthed him.


The Shadow Hawks were there—clearly in position. I could see their figures from the drone's thermal overlay, perfectly flanked, surrounding him like the deadly specters they were trained to be.


> "Why are they standing?" I snapped to the tactical officer behind me. "Why are they not approaching?"


The woman flinched at the sound of my voice. Her fingers stumbled over the command screen.


> "They… they're waiting, Your Majesty. Commander Hawk-Lead confirmed visual identification, but says—"


> "I didn't ask if they saw him. I asked why the hell they're treating him like a god rising out of stone!"


I pressed my finger hard on the glass, pointing at the golden signature glowing on screen.


> "That man has bled for this empire. That man is the empire. Get me a live feed. Now."


The screen blinked. Static. Then clarity.


His coat was torn. His lip was bloodied. His left hand gripped his side like he could barely stand upright.


He stared through the drone lens, as if he could see me.


> "Your Majesty…" the officer said carefully, "Commander Hawk-Lead is requesting final instruction. Do they approach?"


> "Let them wait," I said softly, staring at that glowing silhouette. "Let them remember what it feels like to be near something greater than themselves."


> "Activate the royal convoy. Ten minutes from now, I'll be airborne. He's not returning to me. I'm going to him."


Because if he chooses to walk back into this Empire, he will not do it alone.
