It is here that silver ingots are enchanted, allowing the lost meanings in translation to be... revealed. This unique power endowed the British Empire with unprecedented authority, and the study of Babylon in the fields of translation and foreign languages enabled the development of a large-scale foreign policy. Robin Swift spent many years studying languages in order to enter the Royal Institute. Studying at Oxford is a utopia for him, filled with knowledge. However, after becoming acquainted with the secret society "Hermes" and understanding the power these knowledge hold, Robin concludes that serving Babylon means serving the Empire. Now he faces a choice… But is it possible to change powerful institutions from within without violence, or does revolution always require sacrifices?
