This ability grants insight into imperial governance, trade networks, military conquests, cultural assimilation and the diplomatic maneuvers that shaped historical power structures.
-With regard to the past, the character is thus possessed of a greater understanding of what political entities once dominated the land where the player resides – and the underlying keys as to how the lower realms of the world may yet perceive the upper world to appear. Time and culture, after all, will seem to stand still in isolation – and knowing how once the world was will enable the player better to explain how it has changed.
+The ability also extends to the present, as the character is capable of analysing the motivations of existing empires, their territorial ambitions and the potential conflicts brewing on the world stage. Understanding past imperial cycles gives the character insight into strategies of expansion and collapse, allowing them to predict how contemporary powers might behave. This is particularly useful for those involved in diplomacy, espionage, or warfare.
-With regard to the present, the character understands in greater depth the clash that now occurs between great empires, most important of all their wishes and agendas.
+Additionally, the ability covers the role of vassal states, tributary systems and colonial dependencies within an empire, recognising the different methods by which empires exerted control over distant territories. Whether through direct conquest, economic dependence, or religious influence, the character can discern how historical empires maintained their dominance and how resistance movements or internal strife led to their downfall.
-:*'''African empires''' include the Egyptian, the Malinese, the Songhai and the Zimbabwean.
+The character's expertise is categorised based on regional and temporal classifications, enabling them to specialise in different periods and locations:

+:*'''African empires''' include the Egyptian, Malinese, Songhai and Zimbabwean. These empires were notable for their control over trans-Saharan trade routes, their wealth in gold and salt and their advancements in metallurgy, agriculture and governance.
-:*'''European empires''' include the British, the Byzantine, the French, the Macedonian, the Ottoman, the Portuguese, the Seleucid and the Spanish, as well as the Kingdom of Armenia and the Grand Duchy of Moskva, the caliphates of the Abbasids and the Fatimids, and finally the Roman Republic & Empire.
+:*'''Ancient empires''' include the Egyptian, Hsiungnu, Kushan, Macedonian, Mauryan, Persian, Seleucid and Zimbabwean, as well as the Han and Jin dynasties of China, the Roman Republic & Empire and the Olmec Civilisation.

+:*'''Modern empires''' include the British, French, Jagatai, Mughal, Ottoman, Portuguese, Safavid and Spanish, as well as the Ming dynasty of China and the Grand Duchy of Moskva. These empires relied heavily on naval supremacy, global trade and bureaucratic colonial rule.
