March 29th, 1939 - St. Petersburg, Ruthenia
The once-bustling streets of St. Petersburg were now shadowed by a thick pall of anxiety. The vibrant energy that typically defined the imperial capital was conspicuously absent, replaced by an oppressive silence. The city, usually filled with the sounds of commerce and lively chatter, was now subdued, as if the very air carried the weight of the grim news that had swept through the empire like a storm.
Radios across the empire crackled to life in unison as the Imperial Broadcasting Service began its latest announcement. The deep, solemn voice of the announcer resonated through every apartment, café, factory, and shop.
