Slave Pits

Spoilers for Slave Pits

In the coliseum of Polis the slave defeats the Prince, and she dies there. The game's closing words tell what follows:

• The coliseum falls silent: everyone has witnessed the cowardice of the Prince's last act.
• The Emperor suffers an attack from which he will not recover, and dies a few cycles later. His second son seizes power, and his first order is to hang the body of the slave as a lesson.
• The entire northern region erupts in anger. Revenge fuels the teachings of the late Old Warrior, and the north rebels.
• Three long cycles later the imperial army marches north, and every inhabitant of the north stands against it. Under the warcry "No step back!" it is utterly defeated by the True Worshippers.
• With the freed peasants and slaves behind them, the rebels reach the capital. The nobles of the Houses hand the Emperor over, and he is publicly executed by the slaves.
• The Empire disappears and the True Worshippers take control of the entire region. Their first edict is to abolish slavery.

On the saga's timeline this is the Star Worshippers' Contrition, in 2504.

She is remembered in the game's main menu:

No one remembers who she was
No one remembers how she looked
But everyone remembers what she did...
