When Gods Forsake Kings: Political Turmoil and Imperial Decline

Emperors, pharaohs, and kings alike have drawn strength from their perceived mandate from heaven, justifying their rule through celestial protection. However, when the fickle winds of fate shift and the divine patronage wanes, these empires stand on precarious ground.
