The Cedrist myth of [[The End Times]], would most closely resemble an end of the world story, with the only major difference being that it is unknown in Cedrist dogma and mythology who wins the final battle during the End Times. There are however rumors that the great prophet Talru Sorto was able to see how the final battle ended, though there's no evidence that if he did that he ever told anyone.

Kaiseress Kizzy - Beware the banhammer when you see this avatar

The malaise of Daniel III's reign has given way to the open orgy that the ascension of Kaiseress Kizzy to the Golden Mango Throne represents. Drak certainly isn't drek, though there is an on-going conversation about the true nature of Imperial Bloodlines.

Otherwise things remain the same, in the sense that things are always changing. A new Imperial police force called the Mango Rangers have been established, so now the Judex might actually be able to enforce a ruling! No promises on that.
